http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=PCP+Meeting&iso=20140314T07&p1=152


Topics being discussed remain unchanged from earlier mail:

- build processes
  - git-tar vs make src-link
  - qa .out files vs pcp releases
  - pcp-gui + pcp-doc + pcp -> tree merge planning

- release schedule
  - once-a-month useful?  sustainable?

- path toward grand-unified archive+live capability
  - intermediate steps?
    - virtually-glue-archives-together enough?  would it require new context 
type?
    - tail -f on archives
  - acceptability of server/proxy process for full capability?

- path toward data durability
  - do we really care?
  - whither the fche/fsync patches?
  - streamable archive format?

- platforms
  - is windows status quo (mingw) going anywhere?
  - worth trying cygwin (posix) builds again?
  - which unixes/distros are of interest?  release binaries for them?
  - how do we share build/testing load?
  - how to gather evidence about compatibility assumptions (sgi addons vs. 
multilib)?
  - how to entice distro reps into presence in pcp community?


Talk to you soon!

cheers.
