[debian-mysql] Packaging sprint in December

[Clint Byrum]

Hi Robie. The timing conflicts with things I'm doing, and it also isn't
something I can get my employer to sponsor, so I won't be able to amke
it. I'll try to participate in the virtual session though.

Excerpts from Robie Basak's message of 2014-11-10 04:48:21 -0800:
> I will be sprinting on MySQL packaging in Debian from Canonical's London
> offices during the week 8-12 December. Since much of this work would be
> best done with coordination with variants, and we'd like variants to be
> making progress too, it'd be great if those working on variant packaging
> could also join us in London. James will also be there for a couple of
> days to focus on Galera packaging with Otto. James will be also be
> available for the entire week to sponsor uploads as needed.

> We've already reached out to most of you and I know that some of you are
> already attending. If we've missed anyone, please shout and we'll make
> arrangements to make sure that you're included.
> 
> I'd also like to discuss, in advance and here on the mailing list, what
> we'll be working on and what goals we should have for the sprint. In
> particular, I'd like to focus on getting pre-planned work done during
> the sprint, rather than using the time to debate what we should be
> doing and have no time left to get it done.
> 
> We also have an opportunity for an online G+ Hangout during the Ubuntu
> Open Summit later on this week. Like the sprint, I'd like to use this
> time to make decisions, rather than for new or existing debate. I don't
> see the session scheduled yet; I'll report back to the thread when we
> know the date and time.
> 
> I'm sorry that I had not posted to the list on this before; I'd have
> liked to have had more time for a discussion before these events.
> Unfortunately other things have been getting in the way.
> 
> I will next write a separate email to discuss and debate what we should
> actually focus on getting done at the sprint.
