My interest in QA has always been on infrastructure to facilitate the
work on the distribution itself and I expect to work in that direction
during the few days there.
However since etch won't be published yet, one can also argue that the QA
team should be doing some bug fixing for etch (and aj/aba pushed in this
direction in particular).
I don't want this meeting to be just another BSP. So we might work on
infrastructure the day and on RC bugs the nights. ;-)

The ideas which I already gave to Martin are the following:
I'd like that Jeroen explains us Mole (wiki.debian.org/Mole) and that we
extend it to start collecting statistics concerning the distribution and
the maintainers with the goal to be able to send "reminders" to
maintainers (cf http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2006/11/msg00029.html).
I would also like to work on whatever is required to make Mole the central
data repository that could be used by the DDPO and the PTS, and in
particular I'd like to have a reliable implementation of a "scanner of new
upstream version" (currently DEHS).
Another item for the agenda:
| Evaluating Wotomae - a distribution wide tracker tool
|
| Wotomae comes from "WOrking TOgether MAde Easy". It has been developed
| by Arnaud Fontaine during the summer of code. We should review the tool
| and the code and decide if we can/should promote it and maybe adapt it. In
| any case sending some feedback to Arnaud would help him improve it.
