 * Review of Actions
  * Martin to follow up with Kees on-list (re: Chromium security updates) -- 
'''DONE'''
  * Matt to implement brainstorm reviews as proposed  -- '''DONE'''
   * Martin added this as a permanent topic to the agenda, together with the 
next due date
  * Matt to respond to jono re: application review board  -- '''DONE'''

 * SRU microrelease exception for bzr 
(https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2010-September/000506.html):
  * Requirement: Run selftests during package build to catch architecture 
specific regressions, and catch problems early
  * Run tests on installed package as part of SRU verification
   * '''ACTION:''' Martin Pitt to ask Martin Pool about self test instructions 
on installed system
   * '''ACTION:''' Kees to add bzr self test to qa-regression-testing project
  * Under those conditions, the request was unanimously approved
   * '''ACTION:''' Martin add to StableReleasePolicy

 * Chromium security updates  
  * Discussion has shown that a general SRU exception is the only viable way
  * It is not realistic to do any serious testing on these, since updates are 
released so fast; updates need t o happen pretty much "blindly"
  * It is not realistic to do any serious testing on these, since updates are 
released so fast
  * This makes it rather inappropriate for main/default install, but as an 
opt-in in universe the current experience with the recent Chromium SRUs showed 
that the process is working
  * In case of new build dependencies: in general they should be bundled, but 
for some of them it is okay to update the system package (e. g. gyp, and 
perhaps libvpx); this is a case-by-case decision

 * No new community bugs to look at

 * Next chair: Mark Shuttleworth
