> Topic #1: What should we do for 0.104?
>
> Focus on core ideas:
>
> Fix or re-work collaboration? Cover web activities integration.

> Performance enhancements:
>
> Make Sugar more responsive? Starting by the journal.
> Make activities launch time faster? Moving common bits to sugar-toolkit,
> ie., text-to-speech.
>
> Cover other classroom needs:
>
> Printing in Sugar?
> Integrate screen sharing in Sugar?
>
> These are initial suggestions, we all agreed that collaboration and
> performance should be prioritized.

> Topic #2: How do we do it?
>
> Keep the current structure for phases and deadlines, ie., [2].
> Keep the 6 months release schedules.
> Find a way to re-sync with  Gnome [3] and Fedora [4], so we can achieve the
> previous item.

Let me know how I can assist with the Fedora side of things. At the
moment I don't have a huge amount of cycles free at the moment but
that should improve to some extend mid to late August. F-21 will have
the latest 102 stable release, are there plans for bug fix dot
releases?
