Reading the meeting summary, I learned about the [off] directive the hard
way. Is there a irc-etiquette for dummies somewhere that handles ASFBot and
other things newbees should know?

> 17:19:17 [jzb]: that isn't in a release.
> 17:19:35 [dahn]: jzb: I have to investigate. I think so

> 17:19:59 [Animesh]: dahn: yes we use JIRA for defect tracking

> 17:27:37 [topcloud]: not really...I think bvt not being at 100% is a big

> 17:27:42 [topcloud]: don't want to see it happen for 4.2.
> 17:28:07 [Animesh]: agreed bvt also shows progress towards release readines
> 17:28:07 [chipc]: topcloud: +1
> 17:28:32 [chipc]: Animesh: BVT should show that master is stable,

> 17:39:14 [chipc]: if you feel like doing the /docs folder update?
> 17:39:26 [jzb]: ah, yes. Will do.
> 17:39:33 [chipc]: rock
> 17:39:58 [chipc]: we're going to kick out 4.1.1 rather quickly, just to

> 17:46:27 [chipc]: but generally, the ASF build infra is a bit overloaded
> 17:46:51 [jzb]: topcloud: when you say "in Citrix" - it's still visible

> 17:46:52 [chipc]: so frankly, CTXS donating an environment to run it,

> 17:47:55 [topcloud]: jzb: right now i think only citrix folks can run it.
>  i appreciate it but we shouldn't rely on it.
> 17:48:27 [jzb]: topcloud: hrm. Yeah, that's non-optimal, then.
> 17:48:33 [topcloud]: jzb: to me donating has to mean community can have
> control of it.
> 17:48:44 [jzb]: topcloud: agreed
> 17:48:53 [chipc]: topcloud: so then the question is, what are the hardware
> requirements...  and we can work from there
> 17:49:28 [chipc]: topcloud: and if we have that, we can start fishing for

> 17:49:49 [ke4qqq]: so tsp (along with abayer and roman) are working on a

> 17:49:59 [chipc]: rock
> 17:49:59 [chipc]: ok
> 17:50:17 [chipc]: builds.a.o 2.0
> 17:50:19 [chipc]: ;-)
> 17:50:47 [jzb]: anything else on Infra?
> 17:51:27 [topcloud]: let's take this to the list.  i don't think we can

> 17:51:33 [ke4qqq]: we can't
> 17:51:47 [ke4qqq]: so good idea to take to the list
