Posted Agenda: 
=================

 - LSB 5.0 beta 1 is out!  How's it look?  What are we 
missing?  What's on the task list for beta 2?  Release?

 - Holiday call/meeting schedule.


New business:
=============

Meeting opens at 11:00 with:

Beta is out; no reports of problems yet.  Thank Jeff for this 
work

Mats mentions ncurses documentation needs work

C++11 discussion -- again, the upstream standard is itself in 
motion, and might fairly be characterized as shipped partially 
baked, such that GCC and others are chasing a moving target.  
Tactically we will probably end up fixing as breakage is 
noted, but emitting headers out of the database has proven to 
be challenging, and so we will not get to a final solution in 
5.0

Full list of TODOs for LSB 5.0:

 - Branch all non-branched tests for 5.0.
 
 - Fix beta builds for non-x86(-64) archs
 
 - Get s390(x) build slaves up
 
 - Build beta 1 for non-x86 archs
 
 - Finish turning on certain missing LSB 5 features in 
database (the IntStd work)
   
 - Sanity-check upstream pointers for spec
 
 - Fix ncursesw database issues
 
 - Fix inconsistencies in GTK+ 3 pkgconfig files
 
 - Test, test, test

Holiday for Christmas day, and New Year's Day each fall on a 
Wednesday, and are proposed to be cancelled

We will have a call the 18th, but the 25th and 1st look 
unlikely --- ask in IRC if intervention is needed faster than 
waiting for a conference call.

Similarly the following bug triage for the 27th and 3rd are 
cancelled absent some need 

Next Beta drop (Beta 2) goal for 8 Jan 2014

Call ends at local 11:40
