* SWAT team rotation: Nitin -> Beth
 
* Opens - 10 min
  Nitin: SWAT team rotation. Covered.
* Team sharing - 20 min
  
  - Mark: refactoring image creation deployment mechanism. Will send email today on the solution. Appreciate if people can comment. Sent to Richard and Darren first. RP: it seems like a rewrite. Mark: The intent is not to rewrite. We want to change something, would like to do it step by step. It does not have to be done in 1.3. Darren: we do have a bug open for image creation. Dave: We have done related work (PaulE). Mark: what we have for 1.3 is good enough, this is the next step. RP: try to improve the code legibility, etc.
 
  - Paul: some changes on rootfs, all of them in master. There were a couple of issues, they are merged now as well. Things are looking reasonably good there. Looking at some QT bugs now. Work in conjunction with recipe work. A bunch of cleanup work, created a simple wiki page. Next week continue on bugs.
 
  - Michael: working on problems of down network interfaces under heavy load. They are working now. Will be watching closely. Centralized logging setup now. Central logging server is working. Wiki, networking change is coming up. LF moving YP to a quieter subnet. This week renumbering internal addresses, should not notice any downtime. Bug stats, not matching in the wiki, working with LaurentiuP, Converting into charts.
 
RP: ssates changes: if we use different OS such as ubuntu and fedora, sstate checksum could have problems due to different libs, etc., we fixed this issue. Migration of existing structures may not be that important at this point. It will just use the new structure.
