A busy meeting today. 4 topics were discussed, on 3.7.20, archiving
meeting notes in the wiki, testing cleanup and participation in the
meetings. More details can be found in the meeting page on the wiki[1]
and in the logs[2]. The notes have been pasted at the end for easy
reference as well.

I'll be hosting next weeks meeting. The meeting pad[3] is ready for
new topics and updates. See everyone at 1200UTC (or possibly later)
18th Jan in #gluster-meeting.

# Meeting Notes & updates

## Topics of Discussion

The meeting is an open floor, open for discussion of any topic entered below.

- Discuss participation in the meetings
    - We had low attendence and participation in meetings in Nov/Dec 2016.
    - Is this still true now?
        - [ndevos] Doesn't seem to have changed a lot
            - Not a lot of waiting for updates and moving on.
        - [shyam] new format more valuable than previous
    - Anything we can do better?
        - [nigelb] A slot for presentation
            - Present new features/things being worked on
            - [sankarshan] Optional slot at the end
            - [ndevos] meetings already long enough, might not be
enough time for presentations
            - [ndevos] need to change medium for presentations
            - [shyam] presentations can help bring in technical
content to meeting, currently meetings are more community operations
oriented
        - [ndevos] Why no maintainers participating?
            - [sankarshan] Maintainers probably don't know
            - [sankarshan] Why another meeting for maintainers only?
            - [shyam] separate meeting to get maintainers to
participate and bubble up things here, if maintainers are here and
participating then possibly this forum can be leveraged
            -
- Is 3.7.20 required? [kshlm]
    - 3.10 is releasing next month, which means 3.7 is EOL. Does it
require another bug fix release?
    - Agreed to do a 3.7.20 release to keep with schedules.
- Testing discussion update:
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/wiki/Test-Clean-Up
    - https://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2017-January/051859.html
    - Comments need to be added to the mail thread
    - [jdarcy] bail on first failure in a test file
- Do we need a wiki page for meeting minutes, given that we already
have meeting minutes logged by mail and available for ready reference?
 ..means available as mail, available in irc logs in gluster-meeting,
why another wiki page update?
    - archive to email (send updates to the lists after every meeting)
    - Wiki is optional
        - But not for the weekly meeting.
