  - Bug fixing: Had RC2 for M4. QA is running full pass. More bugs opened last week than we fixed. WDD number is up.
  - Had CCB meeting last week. Approved:
    . 1950 downgrade to Medium from High. Not possible.
    . 3847 move to M5, Let Tom focus on it.
    . Meta-security layer. A layer to improve binary security, tools to scan ports, etc. to improve system security. Bastille Linux is not usable, using other set of tools. Saul will follow up and document a solution. Dave will write a new feature for 1.6. There will also be patches coming in the next week or so for this layer.
    . 1.4.2 release
  - A handful of patches on the mailing list. RP is looking into it. Deployment changes may need to be reworked. Package BB class change, those are worth looking at, moving forward, will merge.
* SWAT team rotation: Nitin -> Beth ( Song will follow up with Beth).
* Opens - 10 min
  - AlexG- hardware for generic BSP, can we run the BSP on qemu?
    . Already started testing on existing hardware for the generic BSP.
    . For weekly testing: test it on two or three hardware. 64bit and 32 bit. Which hardware shall we choose?
    . Alex will start an email thread with Ross, Darren, and Tom.
    . Generic BSP should run on qemu. Run it outside the AB first, then ask Beth to include in AB.
  - Michael - downtime this week for power upgrade.
    . Moving to a new rack. Would like to have it done before school season starts.
    . Today is the best day for this. Michael will try to do it this afternoon. All YP services will be down for 1 hour. AB will be down longer (4-5 hours). Will have everything backup be the end of the working day.
  - Dave: YP 1.6
    . (RP) Features for 1.6. Feature submission is ongoing. Would like to remind people, if you have specific things, please put in bugzilla. If it's more generic, please talk to Richard.
  - RP: PR server
    . Bitbake was timing out. PR server had issues. Response time was 60 seconds. Using 4GB of memory. Addressed most of them, query time down to miliseconds! Encourage people to use the latest master.
    . Doing select call on the open pipes for bitbake idle handlers. Things are more responsive now.
    . _remove operator to avoid adding too much code for each variable. Addressed Chris' concern, _remove becomes a keyword. Any function name or variable that has '_remove' in it will have problems. This should be in the release note.
    . Change to bitbake: Fixed a problem. Now bit bake can be run in any directory containing a build directory. Or, anywhere in the file system as far as the build directory is set in BBPath.
* Team Sharing - 20 min
