Both of these GLEPs are still pending progress on the above commitments. |
28 |
We cannot move forward before these steps are completed. If for some |
29 |
reason we still haven't seen the above or a detailed reason describing |
30 |
the lack thereof by the meeting, let's get live updates there. |

What, if anything, do you think we should do here? I looked over the |
47 |
discussion on -dev and it wasn't entirely clear to me what needed to |
48 |
happen next. |

Mart, perhaps you could fill us in -- do you need to respond to some of |
51 |
the open questions? |
52 |
|
53 |
|
54 |
Other than that, I didn't see any requests on the announcement thread. |
55 |
Let's get an update on open bugs. |
