Features for 3.10
=================

https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointNine/Features

"Git integration in the developer experience": is it just giving gitg
a GNOME3 design?  mclasen will ask nacho to add more details.

About new apps, for music (wrt rhythmbox) and notes (wrt
tomboy/gnote), we should talk to the people writing the new apps and
ensure that they can a) peacefully coexist with existing ones and b)
pick up existing data, where suitable.

Jasper will need help to finish extension updates, otherwise its
unlikely to happen, ever.

The online accounts features (flickr, zimbra): flickr well underway,
no idea about zimbra.

fredp need to ask the a11y team about their features (tinting/focus
tracking)

mclasen to ping feature owners, to prepare a "what's coming in 3.10"
post; hopefully it will happen by the end of the week, otherwise he
will send a boring announcement to ddl.


 [AI] → mclasen to ask Giovanni about extension updates
 [AI] → mclasen to ask for goa features
 [AI] → fredp to ask the a11y team.
 [AI] → mclasen to publish a "what's coming" post

 [AI] → fredp to update the schedule with those assignments.


Potential r-t membership changes
================================

We should think about recruiting fresh blood for next cycle.


build.gnome.org update
======================

It currently has jhbuild/ubuntu and ostree, walters would like to have
more builders.

walters did a presentation about it to the board.

The nice thing now is that it runs installed tests (gjs, glib, gtk+,
json-glib, ostree).

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-ostree/commit/?id=c124396bbdf1397e53f4b3e5d0402f2cfb41626e
"Going purely virtual"

https://live.gnome.org/AndreasNilsson/PathOfLeastResistance has info
on ostree+jhbuild.


tarballs vs git tags & flashback
================================

Postponed to next meeting.


Next meeting
============

June 30th.
