=====General=====
===== Update =====
People is working on bugs, Marco focused on Browse, he's back full time in the team. Tomeu on miscellanea bugs, worked with Riccardo Lucchese on performance (he's interning in OLPC this summer). Sayamindu is planning future work on the Read and Terminal activities.
===== Change in the translation process =====
After changes that break the string freeze get into git, the development team should notify the localization list, so the localization team can update Pootle.
There are some worries about the frequent string freeze breaks, we hope translators will understand and things will get better for the next release.
===== Roadmap =====
David Farning suggested that some preliminary work happened on identifying the areas that will be worked on in the next releases. Benjamin Schwartz argued that people should focus completely on the current release instead, and let future planning for later.
Three big areas of work that is sorely needed by deployments are collaboration, performance and datastore. How can we improve stability at the same time?
Benjamin thinks that we should focus for two weeks on planning, and close all questions then.
Walter wants to see documents about the architecture of the datastore and collaboration. Thinks that we should aim for 3 months of design work that end up on a roadmap.
===== Status of bugfixing =====
Two major surprises lately: arabic support and provisions for operating with full NAND.
Arabic support includes taking in account RTL in the UI layout, may not land in 8.2.0.
Being resilient to NAND full situations is very important in Uruguay, where machines that get full cannot boot until are reflashed. Several options are open here and we are trying to reach consensus.
===== Introducing the new developers =====
No new developers :( Maybe next week!
