<ul>
<li>working on metadata support, device syncing, performance enhancements,

<ul>
<li>continuing to work on performance fixes--wrote a bunch of unit tests
  and now it's a matter of integrating it into the widget frontend
</ul>

<p>Geoffrey:</p>
<ul>
<li>looking into Bonjour on Windows.  Apple ships a big metapackage
  (printing services) that includes the core libraries.  Pidgin open
  source project advises you to install the library.
<li>looking at ways to detect whether the user has installed the
  printing services.
<li>started looking into transcoding and working through the technical
  issues.
<li>going to start wrapping things up in the daap branch and get ready
  to merge it into master.

<li>sprint on Duke bug fixing
<li>planning to focus on performance issues
</ul>

<p>Kaz:</p>
<ul>
<li>worked on the view menu which is basically working
</ul>


<p>Official business:</p>
<ul>
<li>Should we switch Miro on Windows to use gstreamer?  Worth trying out and
  if it gets too hard, we can defer it.
<li>Should we switch Miro on Windows to use webkit?  Worth trying out and
  if it gets too hard, we can defer it.
<li>Talked about short-term solutions for keeping us all on the same page.
  Worth doing a check-in/check-out on IRC using a tag.
<li>Talked about moving our git repositories elsewhere.  Benefits are
  that we don't have to host it and deal with hosting work.  Asheesh
  is going to look into this.

<li>git master is in pretty heavy flux right now and because of that
  nightlies are pretty unstable--use them at your own risk.  This will
  sort itself over time when there are fewer massive changes being
  made.

<li><a href="http://www.pculture.org/pcf/jobs/">PCF is looking to hire
  another Miro developer and a System Administrator</a>.  See the jobs
  page for more details.

<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://manual.getmiro.com/">http://manual.getmiro.com/</a>.
