 * Developer Membership Board

  The inaugural meeting took place last week, and meetings will take
  place every two weeks thereafter as required.

  ACTION (continued): jono to review and update governance documentation
  to reflect that the DMB is now handling developer applications, not
  the TB

 * Units Policy

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy

  General consensus on the draft policy has been reached, with a note
  that the exception section could do with being less rules-based and
  merely granted to the traditional tools such as df and du, perhaps
  directly by name.

  ACTION: Keybuk to drive units policy to completion and vote by e-mail

 * EC2 image updates

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2009-September/028954.html

  Discussion of Scott Moser's draft proposal for providing updated EC2
  kernel (AKI), ramdisk (ARI) and filesystem (AMI) images on a regular
  basis throughout the cycle.

  It was agreed that an update to the kernel requires all three images
  to be updated, and that an update to either the ramdisk or filesystem
  needs those two images to be updated.

  The schedule was agreed to be based on the time to download the
  updates not included in a new image (which users need to configure
  themselves currently), and based on security issues.

  These updated images will be provided throughout the support cycle for
  the given release.

  ACTION: Scott Moser to dedraft from an RFC to a policy
  ACTION: Scott Moser to continue working on a system to find the right
  root filesystem

 * Community Bugs: none this week
 * Next meeting: Keybuk and cjwatson are unable to attend the next
   meeting, mdz may not be able to attend
 * Chair for next meeting: SABDFL
