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 ... 
    http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lsb-discuss/2014-March/007882.html
       - 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
