6.1 Change of the time for the Contributor Session – Sessions have been moved 1 hour ahead and this change has been updated in the meeting calendar. Next meeting will be on Thursday at 2PM GMT instead of the regular Thursday at 1PM GMT
6.2 Ticket Review Discussion
- The team did not have time to fully review the ticket reports; this topic will continue next week.
- There was some uncertainty expressed about the Needs Reproduction report — specifically, how it should be presented and structured.
- Concern was raised about applying the Future Milestone tag too early, as it may feel premature in some cases.
- Clarification:
- Future Milestone is only for tickets that are already confirmed as valid and worth pursuing.
- Ideally, one committer or maintainer should check in on a ticket before it gets this tag.
- Currently, there is no alternative tag besides Future Milestone that signals such validation.
6.3 Meeting Notes – Permissions & Moderation
- Request: @SirLouen suggested asking for more permissions on the Test P2 (for himself, @krupajnanda, and possibly @oglekler) to help moderate comments to avoid possible spam comment. (This is based on the recent observation on this post)
- Agreement: @krupajnanda noted this is much needed and will check with #meta.
- The Vote: voting was concluded with 7 votes in favour and 0 votes against as evidenced here
7. Open Floor
