## Meeting summary

Actions from previous meetings (ltu, 14:07:53)
https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointTwentynine doesn't exist yet, but my 
guess would be something like 32 for freezes startng and week 37 for 
initial release. (persia, 14:13:06)
as it is a large change, we should land GPG signing before 1.2 release, 
but there's no hard dependencies on it right now from the other features 
on the immediate TODO list (ltu, 14:13:50)

Let's discuss how the root-less unix platform should stage 
sources/dependencies (ltu, 14:14:41)
ACTION: tlater to do some more research and write a proposal for having 
the fallback platform be configurable (ltu, 14:38:04)

Any Other Business (ltu, 14:47:46)
this week we expect to see some breakage in master as we'll be landing a 
lot of MRs. (ltu, 14:47:54)
let's do unstable dev releases when we feel it's appropriate (ie, new 
features worth talking about or before we land large changes that may 
break master) - could be roughly every month, but not strictly. Always 
release tarballs. (ltu, 14:58:43)
ACTION: tristan to do an unstable release after we land junctions and 
subprojects, the int. tests refactor and smooth out any incremental 
builds issues. hopefully end of next week (ltu, 15:04:45)
don't forget to update NEWS files in your branches if you're working on 
a feature branch (ltu, 15:05:35)
