  - MichaelH: added secondary DNS server, no interruption of server on rebooting now. https access is there, bottom of every git page. A lots of work with Jeff and others on content moving for new web site. Jeff is relieved. Package reporting website. Just got moderation on wiki account. Separate package reporting with download site. Getting download site for 1.3 ready.
  - Beth: added something to dev manual. How to release product with YP. Particularly with source archiver. LF checked it, generally pleased. 
  - RP: focused on performance, we enabled sstate n 1.3, there are some issues if you have multiple machines sharing a common package architecture. Been unwinding the issue and looking at the shared lib code. Dealing with files, copying files. Debug package. Performance is one of the themes for 1.4. changes to autotool bbclass is happening.
