+ Agenda items
        + 3.4.2 post-release roundup / lessons learnt (Petr)

                * RC3 needed blockers found too late
                        * encourage people test more
                * "Enterprise Ready" confusion
                        * we cannot claim much about the build before we
                          have it - we can measure afterwards

        + 3.3.4 release status (Petr)

                * RC1 tagged on Tue, builds being uploaded
                * will be pushed to mirrors tomorrow
                * RC2 deadline the next Monday; if no change, we will
                  skip RC2, but will wait one more week for marking as
                  final

        + OneGit migration (Norbert)

                * planned for this Saturday - 6th August!!!
                * needs to be synchronized with a fd.o admin (so that he
                  can update the hook not to push to master of the
                  obsolete repos)
                * 3 hours downtime expected
                * 3.3.x and 3.4.x will remain in the same repositories
                  as now
                * Q: Shouldn't we move the obsoleted repositories to a
                  legacy/ subdir or something so that cgit is cleaner?
                * A: Not yet, after the end of the 3.3.x / 3.4.x
                  lifetime

        + new developer concerns (Kendy)

                + nothing this time

        + QA update (Rainer)

                + Bugzilla: Target Milestone
                        * would the "Target Milestone" helpful for
                          developers?
                        * most people don't use that; people that use
                          that could use that only if only the developer
                          himself would be setting it - ie. no forcing
                          "fix this for me for version x.y.z"
                        * currently we do not have the possibility to
                          control who sets what, so it can be abused -
                          let's re-consider with Bugzilla 4.0

                + Bugzilla: Bug assignment
                        * it is possible to use the 'Watch' feature when
                          more people work on the same area
                        * it seems that we should use a common scheme,
                          Rainer will sum up a proposal at
                          http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA-FAQ

                + QA activities
                        * had an IRC session, was good
                        * UX bugs?
                                * component "User interface" for that,
                                  so it is easy to search for
                        * will announce the next one

                * Extensions
                        * let's have a component 'Extensions'

                + daily builds
                        * no Windows daily builds :-(
AA                      * enable Kendy's Windows tinderbox again (Kendy)

                * Master / 3.5 bugs
                        * we already have the 3.5 Most Annoying Bugs

                  been submitted?
                * A: Poke Michael or Florian Effenberger.
