  1. Please help us test TB 17 beta. It's our long term release for a year so we'd like its quality to be high and therefore we need to test it now with your add-ons, anti-virus and POP. Also TB17 beta fixes the spellcheck bug in TB 16, bug 790475
  2. 1186 new support topics (1280 two weeks ago ) - Media:Tbgs-29oct-4nov-2012.png

Roundtable Highlights

There was general discussion around whether there was person or group with specific responsibility for things like making sure our marketing position is filled; there was no real conclusion during the meeting.

A question was raised about how the release cycle will work after 17.0 - will we need any new repositories or changes to build automation? Irving suggested that Mark is likely the person who knows.
