Date: April 06, 2023
Participants:

- Ben Kaduk
- Cheyenne Wills
- Michael Meffie
- Mark Vitale

The OpenAFS Release Team meetings are held on IRC each Thursday at 12:))
Eastern on the #openafs-releaseteam channel of Libera.Chat.


Stable (1.8.x)
==============

* Changes for AIX support have been submitted to 1.8.x gerrit branch
  (topic: aix-for-1_8_10)

* Changes for linux 6.3 rebased by Ben so it can be merged on master, then
  pulled down to 1.8.x by Cheyenne.

* Per Stephan: To summarize, I think we should aim for a 1.8.10pre1 with Linux
  6.3 and the AIX stack included, and that shouldn't take too long.  Anything
  else, unless trivial, we should defer to 1.8.11.


Development (1.9.x/master)
==========================

Mark suggested 15123 would be nice to get merged. (Todd DeSantis reported
another likely field occurrence of this deadlock, Mark to follow up
with Todd). If so, this seems to be a good candidate for 1.8.11.
