  2. Items from last meeting (robertl_, 08:09:26)
    1. anitsirk to check if another catalyst dev can upgrade the mahara gerrit since we are upgrading our internal one as well. (robertl_, 08:09:35)

    5. ACTION: robert_ look into the reviews permissions to see if this problem can be avoided and/or update the wiki page with more info (robertl_, 08:27:42)
    6. tobiasz tries to implement an automatic conversion of all reusable text-boxes that aren't copied so far to plain ones. (robertl_, 08:28:23)

  3. Discuss the allowing of Ghada to the security review group (robertl_, 08:41:22)
    1. ACTION: robertl_ send email to +2 reviewers to vote on Ghada to security team (robertl_, 08:46:49)
    2. Vote for Ghada to become member of the security review as it’s beneficial to be able to talk to someone in a similar timezone. She also did a great job for the last security issue and also reviews in general. (anitsirk, 08:47:08)

  4. Discuss the Social profile addresses feature (robertl_, 08:47:27)
    1. IDEA: : robert was talking about removing messaging artefacts:icq, skype, etc. the big issue was how difficult it would be to remove the old types and still have things like import/export still work (anitsirk, 08:56:41)
    2. ACTION: anzeljg to report back on how much more work is needed to get the converting of old types to new socialprofile types and whether import/export will still work (robertl_, 08:58:48)

  5. Discuss the Question plugin (robertl_, 08:59:50)
    1. who can pick best answer? tobiasz says he considers a right for /edit the question/, that is provided to the author and admins, and I thought it consinstent to provide that same right also to "pick the best answer" (anitsirk, 09:07:57)
    2. questions will be implemented as personal artefacts initially and not as group artefacts. (anitsirk, 09:14:40)
    3. IDEA: keep things simple for the beginning and not worry about attachments. but just have questions, answers and comments. (anitsirk, 09:22:34)
    4. turning off attachments on comments would be more difficult as comments, i.e. feedback comes with attachments built-in and there is no switch to turn attachmens off there. (anitsirk, 09:23:45)
    5. IDEA: : turn off attachments on comments on answers in the question plugin but keep attachments on feedback (anitsirk, 09:27:56)

  6. Next meeting and chair (robertl_, 09:28:55)
    1. the 36th Developer Meeting will take place on 25th September at 8:00 UTC: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Mahara+36th+Developer+Meeting&iso=20140925T08 (robertl_, 09:38:30)

  7. Any other business (robertl_, 09:39:01)
    1. IDEA: make it default for people who have a registered account to be able to verify things. (anitsirk, 10:05:00)
    2. the ui freeze is coming closer. thus, if you have time to review patches that have already been submitted, any help would be appreciated. (anitsirk, 10:09:15)
