You can find the full report at [1]. Here are the highlights: - We have decided to proceed with starting a not-for-profit organisation. It will be based in France. Maxime H. volunteered to get the ball rolling. The plan is to prepare the statutes in the coming months and sign them at FOSDEM. - 110 patches were committed, the patchwork queue has been reduced from 331 to 236 patches. We also discussed a few of the difficult patches and series that are pending, though in fact there are still many more that warrant discussion. - We decided how to proceed with the runtime testing. Nothing has been committed yet, the a Jenkins instance is already running at [2]. - When discussing the idea of making .hash files mandatory for all packages, we discovered that it looks like the tarballs generated automatically by github are nowadays stable. We'll verify this by adding a couple of hashes for github packages and check if the autobuilders survive.
