  • Appoint note taker and get them editing the Etherpad
    • Gerv
  • Current release status
    • Dylan is resigned to the fate that he needs to actually learn how to do a release, and do one.
    • We need a new release on the 6.0 branch and the latest stable (5.0.4) before we can go ahead with the big plan
    • No idea when I'm going to find time; let's see if Hurricane Irma provides some.
    • He will only do what he thinks necessary to actually get the release out of the door
    • People have been having issues with File::Slurp; need to fix that
  • Current release-critical challenges
    • See above - process rather than bugs
  • Dylan's plan for redirecting development
    • Subcomponents feature from BRC may come to the master branch after the split
    • There is a community member interested in porting it
    • As of the 6.0 release, the primary release artifact will be a Docker container
  • Getting rid of infra - progress?
    • We need to get all our stuff out of SCL3 by July of 2018
    • List of services to preserve is in the July meeting notes:
    • updates.bugzilla.org (S3 bucket fronted with Cloudfront so we get web stats still?)
      • Bots
      • Mailing lists (developers@ and security@ and announce@)
      • Email addresses
    • developers@ can just use the Mozilla mirror, so the last two are just an email aliases file -- Not so, because we still need announce@
    • updates.bugzilla.org could be a Github pages site of maximal simplicity (HTTP only, though)
    • Once we are on our own infra, we can be more generous with permissions for doing stuff
  • Gerv's Special Surprise
    • http://bugzilla.github.io/ - a Jekyll version of our web site!
    • Nearly done - just a few more things to fix
    • No longer migrating to Wordpress; this is the new way forward
    • Remove Donate link, as we can't take Bugzilla-specific donations any more
    • Don't need the version -> version changes page
