We've made releases in the last year, and have done plenty of work since the last release. * We had a successful GSoC student, who made nice progress on the libraries. * At the developer hack weekend we are discussing future development. * Thanks to everyone for their contributions this year. GSoC Donation ------------- Due to difficulty navigating through the complexities of international tax law, we won't be receiving the mentor payment from this year's GSoC. We have the option of donating it to the Software Freedom Conservancy Kinnison seconds this option tlsa votes that we do that The committee has hereby voted to donate our mentor payment from GSoC 2014 to the Software Freedom Conservancy AI: John-Mark Bell to organise that donation. AOB --- Each of the RISC OS, Atari and Cocoa frontends are not being actively supported by any of the developers on the project at this time. Noone was prepared to step forward to offer assistance during the AGM. When asked what impact this would have, Vincent explained that the releases are therefore at risk of being unreleasable for verison 3.3 and forward from there. The Atari toolchain (NetSurf toolchain) is currently not functional on our CI infrastructure. When asked what impact this would have Vincent noted that we are unable to build newer toolchains and thus close security holes Vincent also noted that the support burden for maintaining the Cocoa frontend means that it is very much at risk of being dropped without an active maintainer. AI: Release Manager to produce report to development *and* user mailing lists detailing at-risk builds and their likely remaining lifetime Close ----- Michael thanked everyone and made special note that Daniel Silverstone donated an SSD to the Cocoa CI engine. -- Daniel Silverstone http://www.netsurf-browser.org/ PGP mail accepted and encouraged.
