Topics

1. Joomla! 1.6 Release Schedule and Process

agreed upon in a meeting on Thursday, 17 September. Hannes has posted
a detailed explanation and some code to the Google CMS Dev group here:
http://groups.google.com/group/joomla-dev-cms/browse_thread/thread/883baaffe12f023

Actions

- Continue to work with release team on getting ACL and other pieces
of 1.6 ready for alpha2 release.

2. Joomla! 1.6 Release Communication Strategy

- We decided to hold off on a public announcement for the alpha2
release for now.

Actions

with 1.6.
- We will ask Release Team to start regular blogs to keep community
informed.

3. Production Working Group Budget for 2010

- Thread started in Google group for brainstorming budget ideas.

Actions

- Sam will share Development Budgets for prior years to help us in
this process.
- Everyone should share any budget ideas in the budget thread.

4. Developer Site / Joomla! Labs Planning

- We officially endorsed the document Louis wrote called “Joomla!
Development Infrastructure”. This calls for reorganizing the Joomla
SVN server with two primary goals in mind: (1) Open up the SVN to all
developers in the community; and (2) Create a separate code repository
for the upcoming Joomla! Framework. You can read the entire document
here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ARxqaWVp2fOzZGdobmRkNjZfNGhkenptcGZ6&hl=en.

Actions

- Louis to continue to work with OSM and Rochen to get the new
resources lined up and ready to go.
- Still need someone to look into lighttpd crashes and fix.
- We will need someone to synchronize necessary content from the
existing developer site.
- We will need someone to build a layout override and user plugin for
agreeing to terms of service.
