   4. we needed to move quickly with 18.04 due to the GDPR (anitsirk, 07:07:15)

   1. We already have a few new features merged into the future Mahara 18.10 branch: (anitsirk, 07:15:24)
   2. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.milestone%3Alist=85083&field.tag=nominatedfeature (anitsirk, 07:15:24)
   3. A number more are in active development. Amongst them are: (anitsirk, 07:15:24)
   4. 1. Isolated institutions that GregorA is working on: https://reviews.mahara.org/8518 (anitsirk, 07:15:24)
   5. 2. Assignment submission via LTI: MattC from us is working on that. (anitsirk, 07:15:24)
   6. 3. Institution tags for which Maria is the main developer on that: https://reviews.mahara.org/#/q/owner:maria.sorica%2540catalyst-eu.net+status:open (anitsirk, 07:15:25)
   7. Soon we are going to start looking into more tagging features to add all content based on one or more tags to a page automatically (anitsirk, 07:15:25)
   8. The full UX review had to be stalled for a couple of reasons, but we are going to pick them up again starting next week and will put some things onto the roadmap for 18.10. (anitsirk, 07:17:39)
   9. IDEA: One thing I forgot to mention: We are looking into upgrading Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4. By the amount of work involved, it looks more like something for 19.04, but we'll know a bit more in a few weeks once our front-end devs had more time to investigate. (anitsirk, 07:27:15)
   10. https://www.tecmint.com/install-different-php-versions-in-ubuntu/ - useful for those who wants to have several php version in one VM (or locally) (Dmitrii_, 07:28:08)

4. To text or not to text? (anitsirk, 07:30:08)
   1. IDEA: We've had the Mahara developer meetins for a while now. Today marks the 65th. We've always held them on IRC because the official chat channel for Mahara is on there. The question is: Shall we continue using IRC or move to a voice channel, webinar style like so we can talk rather than type and discuss the agenda items? (anitsirk, 07:30:09)
