* Action review

installed system -- '''DONE'''
* Kees to add bzr selftest to qa-regression-testing project --
'''DONE'''
* Martin to add bzr microrelease exception to StableReleasePolicy --
'''DONE'''
* Decide/document ubuntu-archive interaction with ARB packages
* Michael Vogt confirmed that extras.ubuntu.com is a mirror of a PPA
owned by the ARB, which means that ubuntu-archive will have no
direct interaction with it as it stands.
* [ACTION] Colin to ensure that documentation on nature of
extras.ubuntu.com archive makes it into process docs, and ensure
that ARB legality checks are synchronised with those of
ubuntu-archive
* Decide on permission changes documented in Bug:174375 - Matt
Zimmerman
* The TB voted in favour of Brian's proposal.
* Martin noted that bug targeting needs to be more open than just
release managers (Brian's proposal asks that it shouldn't exclude
uploaders). There was no disagreement. The main goal here is to
separate the blueprint and bug permissions currently aggregated into
ubuntu-drivers.
* [ACTION] Matt to follow up with Brian on Bug:174375
* Chromium security updates (continuation of previous discussion)
* General consensus seems to be that we can drop the seven-day waiting
period on promotion to -updates for chromium-browser, but should not
drop -proposed and some kind of verification.
* While this still seems too immature for main, the security team will
need to treat it essentially like the non-free Flash plugin: it's
universe and therefore theoretically unsupported by the security
team, but in practice we know lots of people use it and act
accordingly, running updates through all the usual checklists.
Regressions on individual web pages and such won't merit a USN,
though.
* Jamie says that qa-regression-testing has a semi-automatic script
which should catch any huge issues here.
* The board is currently awaiting a proposal from the principal
uploader, Fabien Tassin, and a formal vote will wait for that.
* No new community bugs to look at
* Next meeting is 2010-10-19. Chair: Kees Cook
