|[Total Github issues](https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues) |
720 |
- [hari] Clang count needs to be reviewed if the reported output is
correct.
- [hari] Discrepancy in total bugs reported in last meeting and the
current state. Did the automation impact and bring this change?
- [amar] The project-infrastructure bugs which are in a separate repo are
likely the reason https://github.com/gluster/project-infrastructure
* Any release updates?
* 7.4 is out and users are asking for
https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/24200/
[sheetal] Builds are in progress. ubuntu's launchpad has been updated. the
rest will also be done.
* Blocker issues across the project?
- Someone need to have a look at [#884](
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/884)
- https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/22492/ is the reason to
suspect Shard feature. I suspect the issue still fails.
* Notable thread form mailing list
- Deepshika's email on Bugzilla => Github migration.
- the Github migration is being done in phases. Phase 1 is BZ --> Github;
Phase 2 would be utilizing the entire range of Github workflow and actions

### GlusterFS - v8.0 and beyond
* When is the good time to make release? branch?
- [name=Amar Tumballi] prefers to have https://review.gluster.org/24163
reviewed and merged before, so by release 9, we can achieve lesser logs,
and more accurate reasoning for errors.
- https://kadalu.io/rfcs/0004-gluster-error-codes.html
- https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/280
### Developer focus
* Any design specs to discuss?
- Not sure if people saw this [Kadalu RFC](
https://kadalu.io/rfcs/0005-external-control-plane-gluster.html), which
would impact future Gluster management.
- Feedback welcome!

has to be looked into and documented as well
