== Linux ==

3.17-rc2 was released. We don't currently know whether we need to take action.

== 1.6.10 Finishing touches ==

11392 (fixing out-of-tree-builds) is ok to merge, unless there's negative 
feedback soon.

11402..11404 (needed for i386 FreeBSD 10): the same

11380 (still on master) seems to take longer and may have to wait for 1.6.11

All these are either build fixes or only apply to a debugging tool or debug 
mode, and are generally low risk. Thus, no pre2 is required to include them in 
the final 1.6.10 release after the usual review process.

11433..4 (vos clone fixes brought up by Jeffrey): The former seems to need some 
more review and discussion. The latter is a behaviour change and thus would 
warrant a pre2. Since these are very old problems, postponed to 1.6.11 (or 
possibly pre2, if we have to issue one for other reasons).

== 1.6.10pre1 testing ==

No negative reports yet. Some of Andrew's volunteer sites reported success on 
various Linux distributions, and a few more are still expected to report.

== Problem reports (issues to fix in 1.6.11) ==

The "bos removeuser" problem reported in 
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2014-August/040942.html can 
probably at least be hacked around. Ben's first attempt to backport 9986 is 
11436 and was uploaded during the meeting. It failed to build on AIX and 
Solaris 10 though.

== 1.8 branch (next stable series) ==

The attendees still present (which probably excludes Daria) agreed that we 
should set a deadline for branching September the 24th. Cleanups (like a 
whitespace cleanup already submitted by Mike) should happen before if possible, 
and it should also be checked before that the master branch generally builds 
and runs.

Ben's rxgk changes will largely need to be rebased anyway, so cleanups are no 
problem in this respect.

Jeffrey thinks that branching shouldn't be done before it seems likely that 1.8 
prereleases can become production releases within two months.

Simon warns that there are a number of loose ends (libtool, roken, hcrypto, 
packaging) and that there should be some commitment to work on 1.8 to make sure 
it won't languish for a long time, and that maintaining multiple branches will 
cause overhead.

Stephan thinks that fixes needed to get 1.8 into prerelease state are more 
likely to get done once the branch exists, and we thus shouldn't wait longer 
even if master is not in perfect shape end of September.
