In general, just mention a new topic as a oneliner to add to the agenda. If its
something specific and detailed I would propose to add the text to the wiki add
add the link to the agenda. Feel free to do so so for this call, although I
fear with this being a first call we already have more than enough as-is, so
dont be angry, if things get postponed to a later call.

gentoo and debian are just two successful example projects that are
volunteer-only and do not do too much core development themselves -- indeed
they do mostly release engineering and QA. And of course, we will simply copy
LibreOffice development. As the examples show, QA can be volunteer-based and
self-sustained -- independant of development.
