Present: Bron, Ken, Robert, Nicola, Partha  (and Ricard Signes for a moment at the end)
CalConnect was the main thing this week!


*Robert:***
* this CalConnect was really good - bigger group than Seattle, and
  more momentum* did an internal FM report - will also do reports to the cyrus-
  devel list.* contacts - work with Ribose on data model together, to
  extend/replace VCARD  - design based on GraphQL
  - map to JMAP data model
  - will take quite a while (3-4 CalConnects) to be stable - may a
    year or so  - workable and protocol independent data format
* Xapian caching work
  - can cache lower order indexes in the fast top tier cyrus.indexed.db  - need to change compact code to not copy cache records
* Xapian snippet fix - will submit upstream
  - still needs to be used at FastMail, so will wait for that first
* Will be off for vacation in 7 weeks
  - be good to work our what's still to do with JMAP first and finish.
  - define JMAP roadmap.


*Ken:***
* VPOLL: Mike and Ken tried to do a demo
  - ran into issues with Access Control and Organizer tracking
  - 1&1 people are really interested in getting something going 
* Marten and Ken did a demo with subscriptions.
  - FastMail sharing works differently, so we need to convert existing
    clients to new sharing style  - plan now that CaldavTester is working is to make sure Cyrus Daboo's
    tests work as expected  - in a couple of weeks, formulate plan for changing over
* Per-user calendar alarms
  - ready to go
  - need to check that server-side stuff based on who is acting is
    ready to go  - will roll it out while Ken in Melbourne in mid-late October
* Next:
  - work with CalDAVTester
  - SASL release
  - will schedule a call with Bron/Rik to talk about JMAP
    Calendar planning

*Bron:***
* Cyrus Board meeting this week to discuss licensing
* cyrus builds: will probably build timezone data directly from upstream
  rather than from cyruslibs.* 3.1.2 build changed JMAP behaviour - interesting for upgrades.
* cyr_expire wasn't reading conversations config, and hence not expiring
  conversations  - changed to assert if we try to read a config value without having
    loaded config!  - refactor improved code


*Partha:***
* 3.1.2 release made last week
* FastMail specific is just a few patches now
* cyruslibs - not building timezone data yet
* Started working on zeroskip
  - as a separate project (standalone library)
  - chatted with Neil - and grabbed spec file
  - next couple of weeks - hope to have most ideas fleshed out
  - also moving twoskip into standalone project
  - tests and comparison between the two versions - benchmarking tests
  - rsto: is this based on cyrus-imapd cunit tests?  probably have
    separate unit tests in the library as well* apart from this, nothing Cyrus specific.


*Nicola:***
* have been herding all Dilyan's bugs!
* it's school holidays, so not doing that much
* at end of November - will be representing FastMail and Cyrus at Write
  the Docs conference  - talking about Sphinx work
 -  doing a doc-sprint, so collecting bugs that are good for first-
    timers to work with.* Prometheus is being used at FastMail now, will be using Cyrus on.


Next meeting: same time next week!
