   • Apologies
   • Introduce new starters (if any)
2. Review agenda
   • Review activity reports
   • Propose additional items
   • Accept agenda
3. (Keybuk) Team Meetings
   • Public meeting time (and rotation)?
   • Do we want to continue weekly whole-team meetings? If so, time (and rotation)
   • Sub-team meetings
4. (Riddell) GTK/GDK/GLib recently broke for apps which didn't call the relevant init() function. This broke flash in konqueror and opera, acroread and openoffice. openoffice and konqueror can be fixed (although it adds a depends on gtk), but opera flash and acroread obviously can't. Upstream consider this unimportant because it's NOTGNOME, can we persuade them that changing API is unacceptable?
5. (Riddell) can we get sun java licence debconf accept pre-seeded in the buildds to allow for Jambi and other packages that need to build-dep on it?
6. (Riddell) when do we expect to have a release manager starting?
7. (Riddell) do we want another tribe next week?
8. (doko) component mismatches hinder package builds; the list currently is too long. need to fix them now, or else packages cannot be used and tested. for many packages we don't have even MIR.
9. (doko) same thing for build failures. These should be fixed so that packages can be tested.
10. (doko) lpia testing using the live CD, how and when?
11. Actions from previous meeting
12. Release readiness update
13. Reminder: SoC mentor questionnaires to be done by mentors by friday

1. Other business
