GNOME Software

 - we should mention it relies on systemd for offline updates

Wayland Status
==============

A wayland status update:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/release-team/2014-February/msg00073.html

We're not at a point where we it is good enough to be on by default - too many
things don't work, and we can't test it widely.  So, the reponsible thing to do
is to keep it as a preview for 3.12 and keep working on it next cycle.



Blocker Bugs
============

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&cf_gnome_target=3.12

we need to get the invisible cursor bug mentioned, or to disable the cursor
plugin (or have the fixed, of course).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706229 desrt will talk to peter
hutterer (whot on irc) to have the "official story".


Live Images
===========

no live images at the moment, halfline is busy doing rhel stuff.
gnome-continuous could provide vm images, but that's not as nice as the
possibility to test gnome on real hardware.

there will nevertheless be an attempt to get live images for .0.


Sync with engagement team on release planning
=============================================

sri followed the meeting, the engagement team has a meeting set on thursday at
19:00 UTC.
