AI:	+ folks without a hotel - mail thb / sweetshark (for couchsurfing/rooms)

* git submodules / rename (Norbert)
	+ code-wise done, features/submodules branch
	+ does it work when you go across the migration?
	+ testings appreciated!
	+ doc writing in progress
	+ once doc is done, when to do that?
	+ each of the four repos - rename files in all submodules - that
	  means, if you have a patch, across the boundaries, you need to
	  manipulate the patch
	+ proposed submodule migration at the conference.

* bibisect goodness (Norbert)
	+ experimented on mac, collected every build on mac, 900 builds,
	  resulting repo is 2.1G -> too big
		+ collect only once a day
	+ collecting the windows ones too
		+ 700M - builds are less frequent
	+ an advanced QA / user is able to bibisect it down to 50 commits

* sysadmin contract / work ...
AI:	+ ping Tollef (Bjoern)

* distro/suse/suse-3.6 branch: input appreciated (Kendy/Michael)
	+ want to get our product work into public git
	+ all patches are upstreamed anyway, but this makes things better for all
	+ since it's the same code - branch should be small size-wise
	+ problem: lots of tags for customer / PTF builds - 20-30 tags per release
		+ is that ok ? concerned about amount of tags ?
	+ normally people don't get the tags (Norbert)
		+ only fetch tags for branches you have checked out by default
	+ lionel: already >2000 tags, who cares about some more
	+ resolution: check this in, tags and all
	+ clean legacy tags at end of support life if a problem.

* QA update (Joel)
	+ QA meet-up next in Essen report ...
	+ FDO font-size issue
		+ some gmail users having problems with <pre>tag</pre> sizes
		+ really a browser mis-configuration
		+ Joel to educate around a fix.
	+ help getting people together for triage
		+ http://doodle.com/3tfr888ma5cgkww4
