Appoint note taker and get them editing the Etherpad

• Justdave

Current release status (Dylan)

• release notes is biggest blocker
  • If we can make commit messages more descriptive we may be able to generate some of the release notes from the commit messages
• aiming towards pre-6.0 development release
• wanting to release more frequently

Current release-critical challenges (Dylan)

• A couple Windows-related bugs related to installation
• small smattering of other bugs outstanding, not much major

BMO/trunk merge status (Dylan)

• largest set of changes is in the authentication stack
• not merging the entire thing at once, but there will be a shrinking number of differences as we go along.
• Stuff coming up from BMO to upstream:
  • Editing comments is on short list to move to core.
  • Handling bounced email - BMO bounces 19 million emails per month, working on an API to tell Bugzilla that someone's email is bouncing so it can be disabled.
  • REST API
  • Markdown support

Google SoC?

• May be doing Outreachy instead because for the kinds of projects we have, we seem to get better candidates from there.

Any other business

• there is an updated diff-view patch from RedHat, looks very nice
