It is common use to start beta from 0.5 because it is half way up to 1.0.
bringing 0.5 as alpha willl cause much disappointment and is confusing for
users.
I think an interesting point to talk about would be a roadmap. when can
average users start to use reactos as their daily os? Is reactos able to
become usable as windows-alternative before windows is gone and forgotten?

I agree on "beta" being more like 80-90% implementation coverage, however
given the 80/20 rule applied to development, that says that < 20% of the

causing 95% of the reports, if not even more), so one could argue that
having a codebase 80% complete, is still only 50% of the work, because the
other 50% will be a whole lot of polishing.

The link between 0.5 and beta was an old statement we used to
have on our website, I’m not sure why that relationship existed
other than a splitting an integer in half and assigning 0.5 to
each stage.
I’m more of the opinion that beta products are close to release,
so 0.8+ would be more suitable.
Anyway, it’s a conversation to be had internally.

Hi!
Usually when we talk about ReactOS 0.5, we implicitly think that
it will enter beta state there.
So unless you consider this to not completely hold anymore, we
can look at what remains to be done/fixed (importantly) so that
we may qualify as going into beta state.
(And yes, USB and storage sound strongly as prerequisites for
0.5 in my opinion).
Best,
Hermes

Some potential talking points:
o Selecting a new coordinator
o Version bump to 0.5
o USB / Storage (perhaps linked to a 0.5 release)
o Mattermost
o New website progress

We can discuss this if you are present, but I don't see the
value in discussing it without you.
We have seen before that something discussed without the initiator
being present is time not well spent, since it is a bit hard to argue
with only one side of the argument present

Hello,
I may not be available as it's the day when I'm going
somewhere for a conference; it just depends at which time
I arrive at destination.
For the meeting we may talk about the best way we can move
to delivering all-in-one ReactOS ISOs (containing livecd +
installation in both text and GUI modes), and which
changes this could imply for our infrastructure
(buildbots/website...).
Best regards,
Hermes
