Proceedings
===========
* Meeting started at 19:45 UTC by Aleksey Bragin.
* Point 1: Release status: 0.3.15
---------------------------------
* Aleksey Bragin proposed that we prepare trunk and release 0.3.15, as
it is now, before anything major happens. Several members then wondered
about the status of USB and the "mshtml bug". Jerome Gardou explained a
bit about how the mshtml bug is far from completely being fixed, because
if you look at testbot's results, there are still some problems with
ASSERTs hit and some bad pagefaults happening when paging out.
* A lengthy discussion occurred, about how ready trunk is, whether it's
in a better state than 0.3.14, the state of the theme to be bundled with
ros, the plan for CLT, whether we should go 0.4<something> or 0.3.15...
This was settled through a voting: "Do you agree to release 0.3.15 with
current trunk features, before CLT?".
* The total number of votes was 21, with 11 votes as Yes, 5 as No, and 5
abstentions. As a result, we will be having a 0.3.15 release with CLT
being the deadline.
* Point 2: New website status and migration plans
-------------------------------------------------
* Amine Khaldi gave a quick summary on the state of the website revamp:
- Quite some progress has been made in the theming department, and
it's visible from the playground. It's starting to look a lot like the
current one, which means it's almost done (only some issues are left).
- Maciej Bialas has been investigating how to import users from the
RosCMS. We will most likely need to compromise: members will have to
reenter passwords when we migrate, but we'll see.
- Amine Khaldi then mentioned that we need help from web devs
familiar with Drupal. Alexander Rechitskiy mentioned that he has a guy
that wants to be part of the web team, and he passes his info to Amine
to establish the contact.
- He also mentioned that Maciej is very busy, so the progress will
slow down, and that the current short term plan is to continue the
theming work, provide a way to import users, import the rest of data
from wiki/bugzilla...etc and finally add the phpbb bridge.
* He then summarized the summary by saying: We needs skillful drupal
guys, we're almost there, and that's it.
* Point 3: CMake migration and finally abandoning RBuild
--------------------------------------------------------
* Amine Khaldi suggested that it's time to ditch rbuild, as he suspects
most of our members have migrated already. Agreement on that, from ours
members, was unprecedented as *everyone* were on favor of this :)
* We agreed on doing the necessary commits/infrastructure changes ASAP,
ie "tonight" (relative to the meeting of course), but that didn't happen
just yet so it's just a matter of time. Amine Khaldi wants to do the
honors (the commit that will remove rbuild and its related files).
* Amine Khaldi also mentioned that he's preparing a nice little surprise
for major build performance boost, on many levels, so stay tuned guys ;)
* Jerome Gardou explained that he'll be handling the PCH support to get
it to a much better state than it is right now.
* Point 4: Added per Amine Khaldi's request: GSoC preparations
--------------------------------------------------------------
* Amine Khaldi explained that he created a Google Doc and invited the
interested members. He asked the members to collaborate and shape up an
excellent ideas list, projects that fit in GSoC at both the time and
complexity levels.
* Colin suggested building up on the last year in terms of informative
content (wiki pages from last year), covering questions about how we
deal with students, our application form... etc.
* Meeting closed at 21:45 UTC by Aleksey Bragin.
* Minutes written by Amine Khaldi.
> [USER32]
> Correct user32 japanese translation (and fix build as well)
For the record, this doesn't fix build because:
1) It was not broken (hint: r55860).
2) The module that broke build back then was shell32, not user32.
Regards,
Amine.
