Committee Meeting: 9/24/2012
Unfinished business from release
-Update the readme for people that are getting stuck.
-Crashing empty project bug is a big concern for new users. How do we fix this issue quickly?
-Provide the ability for people to generate their own docs.
Action Items:
-Dave W to look into quick fix and update dev with a new binary
-Add a warning about crash bug in tutorial. -Dave MB
-Add a warning to the readme. - Dave MB
Near Term Roadmap - Immediate tasks that Dave Wyand will manage.
-Redo FMOD support that we had to remove for launch.
-Dave W. update toolbox for release (mentioned in above action item)
-Begin the process of folding in bug fixes that we have in the post 1.2 GarageGames repo.
Forest Topics (not the trees)
-Committee recruitment: the final date for candidate submission will be Oct 12th
-Consider building an advisory panel of industry experts who will help provide advisory oversight for the committee. Their job is more about providing industry views on long term technology strategy.
-Administrative discussion next week when Dave W. is at GG headquarters.
-If there is a pull request that is a bug fix or performance enhancement that doesn't change functionality, they will be automatically accepted into the dev branch.
-Give a definition of what Dev & Master are and how they will work. (Eric will do this in a blog)
-How should we use the issues section of GitHub - if there is to be a defined process it will come from the committee. What does the community think? We will post a topic to the forums to see what the community thinks.
Open Discussion
-Has anyone had issues with Native GitHub for Windows? Response: some issues, but not a lot.

Hurrah. Any idea when we should expect to see pull requests being pulled?

Edit: Eh...judging from Dave's response...maybe I should look more carefully.

Well, one thing that we've agreed to is that a bug fix that doesn't change intended functionality should be automatically accepted into dev for testing. From what I've seen, the majority of pull requests fall under that category.Edit: Eh...judging from Dave's response...maybe I should look more carefully.

I've been spending my time with the Open Source Toolbox lately, but was planning to put that aside on Thursday and start testing out some of the pull requests at my end. Out of the eight that are currently posted, I would peg the two that you've submitted as going in right away.
For a lot of the others I'll have to go through them in more detail and test them out. And there is one up there that I'm not convinced should go in.
