This is the meeting agenda/notes for the Meeting held on 2011-05-23.

Next Meeting
- June 20th
Releases
- 5.3.4
  - rc1 at the end of the week
- 5.4.4
  - rc1 at the end of the week
- 5.7
  - pre2 out todayish
Administrative
- Switching to GIT
  - Timing choices:
    1. switch now (ie, this week) for everything
    2. switch everything but the 5.{3,4}.4 branches this week, and apply patches from the svn tree later to the git tree after releases are finished.
    3. delay the switch till after 5.{3,4}.4 final (as long as it's before 5.7).
      - Daves' preference and Wes is fine with it, so we'll go with this choice unless 5.{3,4}.4 drag out too long.
- Bisectability of the SVN/git tree.
  - Agreed: We shouldn't push broken commits because it means git bisect breaks if you can't test the broken code in the middle of a bisect
- standardizing "please write to the list" notes? Possibly with a new wiki page with a longer explanation?
  - Wes wrote one: Please write responses to the mailing lists
    - feedback and editing appreciated
    - start pointing to it?
- LTS Timing
  - From last time: 5.4 and 5.7 will be LTS
  - How long is Long?
Technical
- the infamous oid typedef issues
- Windows Builds
  - Dave hopefully has windows working? Needs wiki post about doing it.
