Here are the minutes from the MOTU Release meeting, Monday 24th August, 19:00 UTC. = Members present (4/5) = * Stefan Potyra (sistpoty) * Scott Kitterman (ScottK) * Iulian Udrea (iulian) * Steve Stalcup (vorian) Absent: Nathan Handler (nhandler) = MOTU Release delegates = * Scott Kitterman suggested to make Steve Stalcup the Qt/KDE delegate for this cycle. We all agreed. Riddell said he could be fallback if Steve becomes unavailable. * Mario Limonciello (superm1) agreed to act as a delegate for Mythbuntu again. * Cody Somerville (cody-somerville) agreed to act as a delegate for Xubuntu. He also recommended Lionel Le Folgoc (mr_pouit) to be a delegate as well. They will both be the delegates for Xubuntu this cycle. * Fabien Tassin (fta) agreed to act as a delegate for Mozilla packages, along with Alexander Sack (asac). * Luis de Bethencourt Guimerá (luisbg) and Cory Kontros (_MMA_) will act as delegates for Ubuntu Studio. * Sebastien Bacher (seb128) was proposed again to act as a delegate for Ubuntu Desktop packages this cycle. This is still unclear, unfortunately. Action: Iulian Udrea (iulian) to send an e-mail to the ubuntu-desktop ML to find out who will act as a delegate. * Steve Kowalik (StevenK) will act as a delegate for Ubuntu Netbook, Ubuntu MID. * Scott Kitterman (ScottK) for Ubuntu Server again. * We haven't delegated responsibility to no one for Edubuntu yet. It seems that Jordan Mantha (LaserJock) is unavailable at the moment. We will talk to him when he reappears. = Freeze Exception process = * There were no questions regarding the Freeze Exception process [0]. We all agreed that the process should remain the same. + 2 ACKs for the exception to become valid. + 2 ACKs for new packages as well. We won't consider exception for new packages if there are not worthwhile. + New upstream releases that are bug fix only just need a bug for documentation, no FFe. = Standing Freeze exceptions = * audacity [1] + Reinhard Tartler (siretart) suggested to don't update to the latest upstream release, 1.3.8. Reinhard said that the latest release doesn't work with ffmpeg 0.5 release. It will need a newer ffmpeg which we are not shipping. + It was agreed to wait for input from Luis de Bethencourt Guimerá on this issue.
