= Meeting 2013-07-22 =

 * Attendees: Martin Pitt (chair), Kees Cook, Matt Zimmerman, Colin Watson, 
Soren Hansen, Stéphane Graber
 * Guests: Rick Spencer, Scott Kitterman, Stefan Bader

 * Action review:
  * Kees to review outstanding provisional MREs -- carried over

 * Development series alias name
  * We concluded the discussion from the previous meetings (see 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TechnicalBoard/TeamReports/13/June), and after much 
back and forth discussion between the three candidates "rolling", "next", and 
"devel", the TB voted for ''devel''.

 * SRU MRE: Xen
  * Provisional MRE was granted, with the constraint that some formal testing 
procedures should be discussed in the first SRU. This could be something like 
"boot the last N releases/LTS default install and verify some list of things 
(networking, file system test suite, etc.)"

 * SRU: Extend the KDE MRE
  * Scott proposed an extension of the existing KDE microrelease exception to 
cover non-core applications: 
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2013-July/001666.html
  * The list was granted for MRE except lightdm-kde, as regressions there have 
a potentially disastrous effect. That particular package will be reviewed once 
there is an actual new microrelease to consider.

Minutes of the Technical Board meeting 2013-07-08

Meeting summary and log:
http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting/2013/ubuntu-meeting.2013-07-08-19.58.html

Members present: Matt Zimmerman (chair), Colin Watson, Kees Cook, Soren
Hansen, Stephane Graber

- The question of the development series alias name was deferred to the next
  meeting (noting that it was not blocking engineering work at the time)

- The board resolved that an explicit linking exception is required in order
  for GPL software (v2 or v3) to dynamically link with OpenSSL in Ubuntu,
  noting that a statement from the copyright holder is sufficient.

- Kees Cook agreed to review the outstanding "provisional" micro-release
  exceptions on
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions
  incorporating data on known regressions in updates to these packages.
  Using this information, the board will decide whether to make these
  exceptions permanent.
