  10. https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19 - Drop GL support from Mer Core (Stskeeps, 14:33:05)
    1. low (Stskeeps, 14:34:35)

  11. https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26 - Evaluate dash as /bin/sh vs /bin/bash, disk/memory footprint/boot time/impact (Stskeeps, 14:34:47)
    1. medium - cost/benefit thing, useful to check what we can gain on it (Stskeeps, 14:37:04)
    2. drop GL is in NEEDINFO, solutions exist but need info to proceed (Stskeeps, 14:37:13)

  12. https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27 - Evaluate benefits eglibc vs glibc, in terms of packaging, cross compilation and footprint/impact (Stskeeps, 14:37:37)
    1. medium priority - it's best for all of us if we stay close to linaro gcc and their setup, which includes eglibc (Stskeeps, 14:40:28)

  13. Bug 28 - Drop gamin dependancy - https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28 (Stskeeps, 14:40:48)
    1. this is in glib2 and a oneliner - we can drop the gcc atomics patch for armv6 now as well while someone's at it anyway (Stskeeps, 14:41:11)
    2. low, sage takes (Stskeeps, 14:43:04)

  14. https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29 - Drop gamin from core (Stskeeps, 14:43:24)

    1. low, not terribly important, but nice to clean out memory a little bit, lbt assignee (Stskeeps, 14:45:12)

  16. Move ntpdc and ntpq to ntp-utils package to save footprint - Bug 31 - https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31 (Stskeeps, 14:45:58)
    1. low, junior job, the reasoning is that we then can drop libedit from image (Stskeeps, 14:46:53)
    2. connman uses ntp directly, not through command line tools (Stskeeps, 14:47:00)

  17. pixman should be upgraded to 0.24 - https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35 (Stskeeps, 14:47:35)

  20. https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54 - Bug 54 - Include package build logs to the releases (Stskeeps, 14:56:22)
    1. handle in RM discussions (Stskeeps, 14:58:45)

  21. https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57 - dbus-glib is now merged to glib upstream so we should remove it (Stskeeps, 14:59:02)
    1. low, still in use by upower and ConsoleKit and gconf and dbus-python (Stskeeps, 15:01:40)
