Meeting Time
============

The US is about to change to DST this Sunday. Europe will change 3
weeks later. India won't change at all.

In the past, we strove to keep the local time slot the same for US folks.
Which would mean the meeting would happen an hour earlier than usual
(all local time).

The consensus was to let Stephan pick a time of the meeting going forward.

Stephan Wiesand:
I hereby rule that we'll keep the local starting time the same for US
participants, that we'll revisit this issue in autumn, and that bringing up
proposals for changing the time slot are welcome anytime.


1.8.x series
============

* Web changes for 1.8.6pre2 review in progress
* Plan is to wait for linux5.6 changes for the 1.8.6pre2 release

1.6.x series
============

The next 1.6.x pre-release to done after the 1.8.6 pre-release

1.9/master
==========

* Ben merged a number of changes to master.

* Yadav submitted of change that fixes a crash when
  /proc/fs/openafs/CellServDB is accessed after the module is loaded
