2018-05-05
It's now almost a month since the last meeting - it time for the next one. Proposed time: 18:00 UTC
Organisation discussion
- When do we have time to release 0.4.17?
- Still unclear freeze and release dates. 1 MTE needs backporting first
- Whether to leave the issue number link in a commit message when merging on Github
- MTE: Keep the numbers if they're inserted automatically (high PR count, helpful for the web interface blame or fast jumps in commits)
- MTG: The numbers may be removed if wanted (small amount of PRs)
