Meeting Notes:
kick off with introductions

Process for reviewing, vetting, and merging bug fixes

  • IU has a number of bug fixes
  • How to make this a community process
  • For message center, the fix just goes in and left there unless it causes a problem

  • How do we get things in in the long term
  • ACTION ITEM:  IU will collect and post list of samigo bugs listed.
