Hi all!
Let me invite you to the May 2018 meeting, taking place this Thursday,
May 31, 2018 at 19:00 UTC.
Invited members will again receive their credentials shortly before the
meeting.
Based on requests and current topics, the agenda looks like this:
1. Status Reports
==============
Like last time, participants are requested to just post their
prepared reports again to not waste any minute.
2. Improving our handling of PRs and JIRA reports
==============================================
The global JIRA permissions have been changed this month and there
has been a lot of bad blood regarding issues marked as "trivial".
On the one hand, trivial PRs waste a lot of time of our core
developers as long as they are the only ones able to commit them.
On the other hand, trivial PRs still add minor improvements to the
code, so it would be wrong to just close them as invalid.
Let's have an open discussion on this topic and try to establish
rules we can all work with without taking this problem to a personal
level.
3. Google Summer of Code
=====================
This will be the first meeting, which could be joined by our GSoC
student Victor Perevertkin. If he or the mentors have questions that
are better discussed with all developers in the monthly meeting,
let's do this here.
4. Changes affecting base addresses
================================
Robert Naumann has requested adding this topic to the agenda.
He couldn't merge several PRs translating .mc files, because that
would blow up the kernel and require a regeneration of all base
addresses. He requested a brainstorming session in this meeting
to get to a conclusion how to deal with this problem.
I know that Joachim Henze has also attempted to change base addresses
lately to fix Photoshop CS2, so this is probably the right time to
deal with this problem.
Further topics can be requested by replying to this mail.
See you all on Thursday!
Best regards,
Colin
