[Martyn Russell <martyn lanedo com>]

Hello everyone,

So we didn't have long to discuss what we want for GTK+ 4.0 and there 
will be a follow up meeting to discuss in detail some specifics of the 
meeting this evening. As the subject says, it's Sunday at 18:00 
(presumably where we met for the meeting on Sunday).

The minutes were:

  Desktop Summit:
  ∘ Monday 8th August at 18:00
  ∘ Meet the same place as we did for the GTK+ bof/meeting on Sunday.

    ‣ Drawing
    ‣ Events
    ‣ Concepts behind the clutter scene graph
  ∘ GLib 4.0
    ‣ Drop deprecations
