Re: Bits for Bits from the QA meeting
Someone on IRC asked what we did at the QA meeting. Basically, we had
a number of informal talks (see the links Holger posted) and some
people worked on things together. However, I think most people mainly
did release related work so there's not a whole lot to report.
I told people to submit a paragraph about what they did to me and if
I'd get enough information I'd post it to dda. Marc Brockschmidt
kindly submitted two items (see below) but unless I get more I won't
post to dda.
