 +      * If this is agreed upon, can we then publish a clearly written list of releases that are currently supported, with expected out-of-support dates or triggers? For example:
 +        * Currently supported: 1.6.1.4, 1.6.0.10, 1.4.0.7(!?)
 +        * (ca. January 2011) When 2.0 is released, support for 1.4.0.7 and 1.6.0.10 will be dropped, leaving 1.6.1.x and 2.0.x as the active branches
 +        * (ca. April 2011) When 2.1.0 is released, support for 2.0.x will be dropped, leaving 1.6.1.x and 2.1.x as the active branches

 +      * Issue seems resolved with 2.0 Beta3 testing 
 +      * **ACTION** Dan Wells reported seeing IE crash with his 1.6 catalog, he will test with the beta catalog
   - (10 min) 2.0 beta status? List of [[https://launchpad.net/evergreen/+milestone/2.0beta4|bugs targeted to the beta4 release]]   - (10 min) 2.0 beta status? List of [[https://launchpad.net/evergreen/+milestone/2.0beta4|bugs targeted to the beta4 release]]
 +    * Ben Shum reported two 1.6.1-2.0 upgrade script problems in beta 3
 +      * Dan Scott resolved these and hopes the shiny new 1.6.1.4 VM will be of use to help test the upgrade script in the future
 +    * Jason Etheridge backported a fix to 2.0 for [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677628|spine label printing]] that Dan Scott had tested on Linux, but wasn't able to confirm resulted in successfully printing labels on Windows; it did at least solve the utter breakage that existed pre-patch
 +    * **ACTION** Dan Scott volunteered to tackle [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680575|unexpected payload]] bug
 +  - (2 min) (tsbere) Patch [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/677074|Dynamic weighting for INDB Matchpoints]] needs review
 +    * Mike Rylander plans to review as soon as 2.0 RC1 is cut, and added a comment to that effect to the bug
 +    * Dan Scott added a 2.1 release series to Launchpad so that the bug/patch could be targeted to that series
 +  - (5 min) (Dan Scott) Bug tracking
 +    * https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen lists 106 open bugs; some of these have "Fix committed" that might be able to be set to "Fix released", would be eased if they were tied to a specific milestone
 +    * It's not clear how much attention is being paid to these by the development team
 +      * James Fournie has done some major status cleanup in the past
 +      * Some of the core committers occasionally pay attention to specific bugs, particularly for 2.0
 +      * But there are bugs that are older than one year that haven't had follow-up; the growing number of open bugs sends a message that filing a bug might not be an effective way of getting a problem resolved
 +    * **ACTION** Jason Stephenson offered to go through the list of "Fix Committed" bugs and change those that were tied to an actual release to "Fix Released"
 +    * Suggestions:
 +      * Schedule a bug-squashing day to confirm, categorize (e.g. tie to specific milestones, set priorities), and actually address and close bugs - post 2.0?
 +        * **ACTION** Dan Scott will post a call to the -devel list for a bug-squashing day tied to beta4 release
 +      * Call for a head bug wrangler to help coordinate QA efforts like bug-squashing days, triaging bugs, generating patches, etc?
 +        * **OPPORTUNITY** There was general support for the idea, but no volunteers were pushed forward
 +  - (2 min) (Dan Scott) Downloads page has several "coming soon" or "needs writing" claims about release notes, but without a person's name beside them, those are lies. Any volunteers for the following?
 +    * Evergreen 1.6.1.4 release notes: **ACTION** Mike Rylander volunteered to write these
 +    * OpenSRF 1.6.1 release notes: **ACTION** Dan Scott volunteered to write these

 +    * Dan will create this soon to resolve some difficulties installing prereqs and get Bill Erickson's select()-interruption patch out there
 +  - (1 min) (Dan Scott) OpenSRF 2.0 beta 2 release
 +    * Bill Erickson has some more patches to commit for 2.0; Dan will roll a beta 2 when Bill gives him the thumbs up
 +    * **OPPORTUNITY** We need someone to implement proper [[http://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_91.html|library versioning using autotools]]
