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

other topics.

  - SDK: fixes mostly there.

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

Meeting opens at 11:00 with:

New Orleans Linuxcon reprisal.  Robert and Jeff spoke highly 
of the event

Jeff noted he learned from a Vagrant presentation which left 
him with thoughts about application to LSB matters.  Also 
discussed was an approach fro a person interested in 
Accessibility in Linux

The SDK review discussion was deferred to hit LSB 5, initial. 
There is the strong need to get the LSB 5 candidate out in 
beta.  This was discussed on the call, and mentioned in 
minutes in more detail a month ago, but LinuxCon and 'back to 
school' season has caused some loss of momentum for that 
effort:

https://lsbbugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3165

is the tracking bug.  GTK 3 is the absolute first priority, 
and a release document framework need to be put up.  The 
GTK work has to precede Qt 4.  The c++ extensions will be 
deferred from the initial beta, as this is more of a moving 
target both at the FSF in GCC, in the Clang / LLVM space, and 
otherwise.  Also, Russ notes that the successor for C++ox has 
a new follow-along work: C++1Y .... Development never stops ;)

As a procedural matter the s390 / s390x builders need to be 
brought back on-line

Call ends at local 12:04
