		+ speakers don't need to pay the fee.

		** 	PLEASE REGSISTER NOW	**

* Persistent tinderbox redness (Michael)
	+ was rather red; no process change but:
	  ucbhelper re-work, libcmis, pivot fix, sdremote,
	  bluetooth re-hash, and many more.

* please keep feature web-page up-to-date:
	+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.7
	+ eg. Tibby should add screenshots of Ink Annotation import

* Money offered in bugs (Joel)
	+ concerned about the informality:
	  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48729
	+ no formal pay-to-fix-bugs structure is likely in TDF
	+ in case of concrete payment offers: re-direct to existing
	  consultants / fixers
	+ be nice to have a list of suitable companies to vector to (Joel)
	+ the certification process should provide that in due course (Michael)
	+ not a big issue yet; first time this has been seen.

	  new people to do triage:
		http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugTriage
	+ trying to get a triage event together:
		+ E-mail Joel with your availability to get involved.
		+ just 'confirming' bugs, not getting backtraces etc.
	+ worth poking the users@ lists.
