;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.

;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.

;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.

Not discussed:
* Settle down patch submitting workflow:
** email based workflow as a primarily model (check other FOSS projects to gather all existed experience) [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:35, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
** write an email-bot/trac-plugin to make an email<->trac sync. Will be useful, e.g., for non-developers who track bugs status and to let people know the current status in most convenient way. All emails, w/ ticket set, will be posted to bugs.sl.o and any comments(and patches) to bugs.sl.o, to tickets w/ previously sent patches, will be emailed. [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:35, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
* Requirement to use pylint/pep8 in git pre-commit:
** [[Platform_Team/Sugar_Lint|sugar-lint]], because it is a standalone project and can be used as-is also, e.g., for activities (i.e., as unified lint tool within sugar doers) [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:39, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
* Increase a level of trust within core team, make patch reviewing workflow more clear:
** Any committer, to a particular core project, might be a reviewer (we either should trust all these people or drop them from committer list) [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:59, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
** To accept ''regular'' (reviewer decides whether patches are regular or not, of course, better to discuss it with other committers if there are doubts) patches, only one reviewer is needed [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:59, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
** Non-regular patches should be formed in [[Features]]. These patches might take several tens of K. This is by design; that it is hard not only to develop, but also to review and it should involve several committers for a reasonable amount of time. [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 09:28, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
** Review process should not include debates about coding style, if coding style conforms to lint checks and Hacking Policy (if it has unequivocal statements, needs to be rechecked), it should be applied [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 09:33, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
** Purism is good but there is no need to achieve it by single patch, it might be changed in post-commit patches if second reviewer (e.g., looking to the patch thread on mailing list) found an issue in already commited code. [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 13:39, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
* officially dropping support for 0.86? (e.g. {{bug|1838}})
** do we need to discuss thing like that on Development Team meeting, is it a more appropriate task for Deployment and Platform teams? [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:59, 25 October 2010 (EDT)

* Support [[Platform_Team/Guide/Core_development|isolated]] start of glucose components. In that case, merge sugar-base to sugar-toolkit ([http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-October/028196.html patches] [yet] don't implement it but import sugar-base from sugar-toolkit) to have API that will be used as a single access point to sugar core functionality for activities.
