    • Tom mentioned this work at previous meetings and that it would be coming.
    • It was on the agenda at the Aper Community meeting last Thrusday, but we ran out of time to cover it in full. The team agreed to handle this via the mailing lists and the other meetings as well.
    • This is a high level process and a very quick read. Tom is asking that the team take a look at it before Wednesday, and provide comments. He will mention it again on Wednesday at the architecture meeting. The process will then be put up for a vote using the portal.

As the timeline is an instantiation of and not part of the process, it will be moved to another location in the wiki.

• Release Engineer Notes (Todd):
  • Build status
    • Hans is requesting a build for today to pick up some late fixes. Todd will oblige.

• Aperi Downloads:
  • Latest stats
    • Tom worked with the Eclipse Webmaster Denis to get downloads stats reinstated. The second DB server is still down, so Denis agreed to copy the DB every night and run the stats from the copy to avoind putting load on the remaining server. So, the stats are one day behind, but we have them.
