We have our BoF on August 25th, 1600 to 1645 UTC.

For the preparations, I have created a gobby document (named "ruby",
under debconf20/bof/).
I wrote some points to get things going and pasting the same here..

Please add more points to the gobby doc. Or you can mention them here,
someone will paste to the gobby doc.

2. What all happened since the last BoF?
========================================

-> A lot of stuff!
-> TODO: mention the important stuff here.

3. The "good" & "bad" Parts of ruby2.7 Transition
=================================================

-> I'd like to believe that sprints for ruby2.7 transition
   was really good! And that we should do it again!

-> IMO, 5-day sprint was a good idea, it gave us ample
   amount of time to discuss and fix the key stuff.
   Anything lesser than that would have been very rush-y.
   So I liked the idea of 5-day sprints.

-> TODO: add more..

4. Rails 6 Transition
=====================

-> A big thanks to Praveen for doing almost all the work
   so incredibly well! This was nicely done!

-> TODO: add status and other things.

5. What we want to achieve for the next release?
================================================

-> ruby3.0 is going to be the next release.
-> Going to be rolled out this December.
-> -preview or -rc release will be out soon-ish.
-> Do we want to "try" it for bullseye?
   * Pros:
     -> ruby3.0 has a lot of amazing features.
     -> and it'd be nice for bullseye to have them.
   * Cons:
     -> given our release cycle, it might get chaotic.
     -> we might not have enough time to get it done (or can we?)

-> TODO: add more..

6. Possible sprints in 2020/21
==============================


-> A sprint would definitely be a good idea.
-> Perhaps a dedicated, online sprint in 2020.
-> In-person sprints in 2021, when the world becomes a better place.
   * Anybody is planning to host?
     -> georg mentioned that he could do so in Germany. Is it still on?
     -> ...

-> TODO: add more..

7. Any other business?
======================

-> Make the community more "engaging"..
   * TODO: add more..
-> Do we want to continue the monthly meets?
   * or make it bi-monthly?

-> TODO: add more..
