Topics Discussed

GNOME 3.0 items status

• In the previous meeting it was detected that some GNOME 3 items on the gnome live page are outdated.

• It was suggested that any maintainer/developer should review the page an update it properly.

gnome-mag

• Brief debate about the current situation

• Carlos sent a mail explaining that although it is almost done, there are still some things to do, but he can't do that, so he asked for a volunteer.

• No volunteer appeared yet

• clown will take a look here, but he is too busy right now with GS-mag to manage it by himself
• Updated risk from medium to high
• This is important as the idea is have the same dbus API for gnome-mag and GS-mag
