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

Meeting opens at 11:00 with:

Builders are chugging by and large;  Spot fixes here and there 
save in the s390

The C parser issue raises its head yet again.  Jeff L is 
talking about writing a special purpose tool to identifty GTK 
Structs.  Jeff J points out that GCC will emit post-processed 
'clist' <?> content. Jeff J also mentions Tom Christensen's 
perlish: c2ph  Russ sees: "Only perl can parse Perl" is 
attributed to Tom Christiansen, and when we have had this 
discussion before, several tools have been emntioned if we 
need to delve into the bowels of macro expansion and C++ ... 
the LLVM 'clang' compiler has such a feature as well

There have been some 4 series certification bugs coming in; 
Russ notes there is a way to brand and then test for the 
present of branding in libraries, and it is probably the case 
that we need to undertake doing and then checking that ONLY 
such are present in a testing environment.  Russ to file the 
bug with a proposal

Robert: the git is languishing; pull requests 9, 6, and 3 need 
love soon.  Robert will also send the mailing list a proposal 
for a periodic review session -- probably IRC based in 
#lsb-meeting  to make sure that content in the 'git' does not 
starve for attention.  Post call Russ did some 'git' training 
with some others on the call so they could approach 
participation.  Bug triagers and coders of the world, unite.  
You have nothing to lose but old cruft that should be 
refactored out

Call ends at local Noon
