[Gluster-users] Community Meeting 2017-01-18

Kaushal M kshlmster at gmail.com
Wed Jan 18 16:13:07 UTC 2017 

Hi All,

This meeting was the first following our new schedule - 1500UTC on
Wednesday once every 2 weeks.

This week we had one major discussion on fixing up and improving our
regression test suite. More information on is available below and in
the meeting logs.
There was also a small discussion on conference attendance at
DevConf.cz 2017, FOSDEM 2017, FAST'17 and Scale15x, all of which will
have some Gluster community members in attendance. In particular, if
you don't already know, Gluster will have a stand at FOSDEM, and will
be a part of the software defined storage devroom.

The next meeting will be on Feb 1 2017, 2 weeks from now, at 1500UTC.
I've attached a calendar invite to make it easier to remember the
meeting. The meeting pad[1] is open for discussion topics and updates.

See you all later.

Thanks,
Kaushal
