Posted Agenda:
==============
- LSB 5.0 beta status.
- Collab Summit recap: "LSB Reloaded"
- What's going on with "future LSB" preparations
New business:
=============
Meeting opens at 11:00 with:
LSB 5 -- gtk continues, but a problem with supplementation of
incomplete types / structs . Strategy is to use a 'one off'
script to push in placeholders
Jeff has some bugs to file on the beta 2 on test failures
Collab recap: posted agenda in the wiki did not survive
contact with in person reality. Re-focussing the LSB to
currently relevant goals (see also the mailing list threads
this week:
Don't blame LSB and standards, please ...

- and -
In the "new" world
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lsb-discuss/2014-March/007899.html
and over into the following month
... (Russ misses some of the call 11:20 to 11:28 ...) Recap
of the Collab summit and then a presentation by Robert on the
(hopefully) lightweight addition of github access for more
agile as well as 'lower bar to starting' participation in the
LSB
The thought on the new Github presence is to get to a
lightweight venue for tactical coding to see if a proposed
addition or refactoring has sufficient commonality between
distributions to be considered a 'general' need. Hopefully
this will prove to be as simple as: Filing a problem statement
at the Github issue tracker, and putting up some 'running
code' ["Running code talks"; anyone can point out possible
things to do, but code speaks]. Russ points out that we end
up with a new issue tracker to monitor and to 'promote' into
the bugzilla, for changes that 'make the cut', to ensure
discussion is not lost
Rick mentions he is working with Marist for buildbot
instances. This would help add horsepower to the process, and
so speed up the turn on getting commits tested on s390 / s390x
on 'real iron'
Call ends at local 11:40
