Topics:
 +
;what we have been working on:Walter has been administering [[Google Code In 2017|GCI 2017]], and working on Music Blocks and Turtle Blocks. James has been reviewing pull requests, checking licensing, testing Sugar on Ubuntu 18.04 beta, releasing Speak-55 and Read-118.1, and fixed a Paint activity empty canvas.
 +
;progress of GCI 2017:Almost 400 students, how to make a pull request, some solid contributions, some new activities.
 +
;cross-platform development:There are broken JavaScript activities that don't run on Sugar desktop.  Contributions are being wasted, and opportunity lost.  We had a Cross-Platform environment.  We have attracted JavaScript Web developers instead of JavaScript Cross-Platform developers.  We need Cross-Platform developers to merge the diverged libraries, and apply Cross-Platform practices to both libraries and activities.

Topics:
 +
;what we have been working on:nothing in particular.
 +
;how to encourage testing of Fedora packagers' work:Thomas and Frederick found fail-to-start problems in Fedora 27, as the Sugar and Browse packages had not been tested at all, so we all need to test the work of our downstream packagers, and help them where possible.

;what we have been working on:features in Music Blocks, assessing GTK+ 3 porting, preparing for and merging translations,
 +
;impact of GTK+ 2 removal in Fedora and Debian:GTK+ is a library, see [https://www.gtk.org/ GTK+] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B GTK+], GTK+ 3 is incompatible with GTK+ 2, many activities for Sugar depend on GTK+ 2, GTK+ 2 is scheduled for removal in Fedora 28 and in Debian Buster, removal already starting in Debian, bad user experience with Browse and activities.sugarlabs.org is non-starting activities, all Fructose activities are converted, Labyrinth is of interest to OLPC and has an upstream port, Record is of interest to OLPC and has an in-progress port at https://github.com/quozl/record-activity/tree/gtk3, Moon is of interest to OLPC and has a JavaScript port, GCI will have porting tasks.

 +
;post-release [[0.112]] review:no test reports received.
 +
;what we have been working on:new gst-plugins-espeak, contributors list, releasing, testing [[0.112]], font size in Terminal, bugs in gst-plugins-espeak.
 +
 +
Report was made [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2017-October/054837.html by mail].

 +
=== 3rd October 2017 22:00 UTC ===
 +
 +
Only one developer was available, so the meeting did not happen.
 +
 +
Topics:
 +
;progress of testing 0.111:going well, and a bootable build is available.
 +
;merging any translations:no new translations, so no need for merge.
 +
;readiness for 0.112:release notes are complete, nothing is blocking release on 9th October.
 +
;what we have been working on:Memorize and Speak activities do fail to start on Ubuntu 17.04 Artful due to default voice missing from espeak, since fixed in gst-plugins-espeak.  sugar-docs has been updated for using sugar-live-build as a development environment, and remove sugar-build.  The AbiWord fix for #4915 Write activity flicker has been accepted by Ubuntu and Debian, and has tested fine in those distributions.  Also on GitHub have been commits in embedded Music Blocks, embedded Turtle Blocks, Help, and ImageViewer.

 +
 +
Topics:
 +
;progress of testing 0.111:some testing is being done, but more testing would be helpful, see [[0.112#Testing|testing 0.111]],
 +
;merging latest translations:asked translators mailing list, no new translations made, strings for save-as feature are new, some Music Blocks strings changed too,
 +
;readiness for 0.112:some time before translations must be in per [[0.112/Roadmap|schedule]], release process well understood and should not take long, possibility of a test image,
 +
;what we have been working on: bug [https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4915 #4915 ("Write redraws excessively - heats my lap")] the AbiWord flicker, a fix is available, but upstream wants it also fixed on Wayland, though Ubuntu [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1574278 has taken it], applying the fix is straightfoward; release notes are to include Turtle Blocks porting, and therefore other activities (done, see [[0.112#Notes]]), Turtle Blocks 216 for upload (done), and a test image is nearly complete, which can be a replacement for sugar-build, see [[0.112#Testing|Sugar Live Build]].

 +
;0.112 release testing: We discussed [[0.112/Testing]]
 +
;Version numbering: We agreed to investigate the possibility of switching to 113 for the next release (a monotonic numbering system).
 +
;ALSOv3: We agreed to work with SCG to do the ground work necessary to get ALSOv3 launched.
