 * Ben Kaduk
 * Jeffrey Altman (not actually present, but input received by mail =
before)
 * Mike Meffie
 * Stephan Wiesand

=3D=3D 1.6.12 release =3D=3D

These are the remaining obstacles to issuing 1.6.12pre2:

 * Linux 4.1-rc4 was released, there a no known showstoppers. The =
linux-4.1 changes were merged by Jeffrey before the meeting and pulled =
up to  =
http://gerrit.openafs.org/#q,status:open+project:openafs+branch:openafs-st=
able-1_6_x+topic:linux-4.1,n,z . After review, they can be merged and =
should take care of Linux-4.1.
 * The Linux mmap recursion fix (http://gerrit.openafs.org/11124) was =
updated once more by Marc. [Alas, another problem was found by Ben after =
the meeting, so it will need another update]
 * The yosemite/clang stack stack =
http://gerrit.openafs.org/#q,status:open+project:openafs+branch:openafs-st=
able-1_6_x+topic:yosemite-compilation-cherrypicking,n,z had some review =
but some more would be good. Ben found a problem in 11845. 11874 is the =
proposed fix. This too needs to be merged on master and then pulled up.

=3D=3D 1.8 release =3D=3D

More progress was made on softsig (6947), and the latest revision was =
uploaded shortly before the meeting. It still needs something like 11865 =
(stop abusing SIGFPE in bosserver), and the participants seem to prefer =
the current revision which will require two steps (touch a  flag file on =
the server, then run "bos setrestricted -mode 0") to move a running =
bosserver from restricted to unrestricted mode.

The next topic to pursue once those were merged will then be =
