<p>Order of business:</p>
<ul>
<li>we updated the appcast file which notifies users that there's a
  new version of Miro out there; 3.5 is doing pretty well
<li>talked about setup_restored(...); Ben has some steps for working
  on this going forward
<li>Ben's going to shepherd the Miro 3.5.1 release which involves making sure
  all bugs for 3.5.1 are targeted appropriately and all fixes are 
  cherrypicked into the Miro-3.5 branch--he's going to coordinate the
  3.5.1 release going forward
<li>for Miro 4.0 on Windows, we're going to switch from VLC to
  gstreamer and also from xulrunner to webkit; we talked about who's
  going to do this work and when and we're all pretty busy right now,
  so it'll likely happen in December or thereabouts
<li>We decided to push off a Python 2.6 to 2.7 upgrade until a future
  release unless we hit a really compelling reason to do otherwise

<li>Miro is developed by a community of people including you!  If you
  can't contribute your time and work, please consider contributing
  funding by <a href="https://www.miroguide.com/donate">donating</a>.
  Your money goes directly to ongoing development of Miro and related
  projects.
  See <a href="http://pculture.org/about/">http://pculture.org/about/</a>
  for more details on these projects.

<li>Did you know there's a Miro User Manual?  If you haven't looked at
  it yet, it's worth taking a look at.  You can find it
  at <a href="http://getmiro.com/userguide/">http://getmiro.com/userguide/</a>.

  As a side note, this is the third week we've been trending downwards

  cleaning up bug reports.  That's been a lot easier with additional
  staff--your donations go directly towards these efforts!
