+Minutes taken by Phil Vachon, edited by FrankW.
+
+=== Previous Meeting Minutes ===
+
+The minutes from the previous meeting were approved.
+
+=== Review of Bug List for 1.5.0 ===
+  * KML is to be deferred until post-1.5, according to Howard Butler.
+  * Frank has elevated relevant bugs to high priority for the release.
+  * Frank has also proposed that work on OCI be bailed on, and that it could be addressed post-1.5.0, as it would not require ABI changes. motion carried.
+  * Frank has asked that people identify any other showstopper bugs for 1.5.0.
+  * Tomas Szekerest wants to deal with #2048.
+  * Mateusz Loskot wants to clear up #1567, #2050, #1999.
+  * Andrey Kiselev is unsure about #2036.
+  * Howard wants any Next-Gen python binding bugs assigned to him as high priority.
+=== Review of TODO item for release ===
+  * Daniel Morisette has created RFC-18 to cover the OGR Style support in the C API.
+  * Frank still hasn’t done the rework of libtiff he wanted, and has deferred the OGR Thread Safety RFC, and still wants to incorporate grib.
+  * Howard has finished callback support in the ng python bindings. JSON I/O has been implemented.
+  * Frank has done –enable-debug.
+  * Ari Jolma made several additions to the perl bindings.
+  * Daniel thinks there might be a MITAB update before the 1.5.0 release. Frank has urged this be in before Beta 2.
+                                        1
+=== Release Test Matrix ===
+
+Frank is to prepare a call for testing to encourage people to update the release test matrix page. He also invites other people to add data points to it.
+Frank intends to prepare win32 binaries, but doesn’t cover corner cases (like drivers dependent on external libraries, bindings).
+
+=== Proposed Release Management ===
+
+Frank has noted that the final release approval should be done by the PSC and not the release manager and that something should be written about retaining C++ ABI compatibility. Frank would like the document Howard made to be turned into an RFC.
+
+Many expressed their preference for branching as close to the release as possible, with some exceptions as deemed by the release manager or PSC.     
+
+Howard will rework the document to be an RFC, Frank will add some stuff and further discussion of the document can be moved to the mailing list. motion carried.
+
+=== The NEWS file ===
+
+Frank has prepared a news file and wants developers to review it. This file will be in subversion.
+
+The news file does not contain bugfixes, only new features, and as of now does not cover bindings-related work.
+
+=== Timelines ===
+
+The Roadmap lists Beta2 on the 10t, and RC1 on the 18th. Frank does not believe additional meetings are required.
+
+=== Adjournment ===
+
+Howard motioned to adjourn the meeting. motion carried.
