       -Versions
           *No change will occur, versions will represent oldest version that the bug has been seen
           *Agreed: Good to add a message when a person tries to change version to a newer version
           *Action: Bjoern will email Tolef about this

    PENDING ITEM: Funding Wishlist

       -€2,000 requested by Bjoern from BoD
           *Use will be for things like prizes during triage contests or bug hunting parties.
       -We need to work out the details of how we'll ship and handle prizes, also how winners are determined
           *Action: Joel will investigate shipping options since our base is worldwide.
    

    PENDING ITEM: Triage Contest

       -Tentative date agreement around a pre-release of 4.1
       -Not enough time to get everything together for 4.0
       -Action: Joel will create a wiki by next call that has the “to do” list for the marathon
    

    PENDING ITEM: Bibisect torrents & Mirrors

       -Action: Joel will ping Cloph about torrenting
       -Action: Bjoern will look into mirrors
    

    New Items

    NEW ITEM: Wiki

       -QA & QA Team Wiki Needs Updated
           *Action: Joren and Joel will update these pages
           *Should be updated before triage contest
    

    NEW ITEM: FDO

        -Users violating FDO policies
            *Agreed: Someone should have the ability to both temporarily and permanently ban users from FDO for violating policies.
            *Action: Bjoern will e-mail Tolef to get these privileges for Joel
            *Action: Joel will write blog or wiki about FDO policies and how policies will be enforced.
        -Will not publish until agreed upon at least by QA if not BoD/ESC
        -UNCONFIRMED Bugs reported by Devs/Experienced QA Members
            *Agreed: These should be set to NEW automatically, assumed that they are in fact bugs. Comment should be added that tells reporter that if they want independent verification please ask and we will do it.
        -Default Mime Type Setting
            *Agreed: Default should be auto
            *Action: Bjoern will get in touch with Tolef about this
        -Status clarification (New vs. Reopened)
            *Agreed: Reopened should only be used if the bug is assigned
            *Because of this agreement, modifications have to be made to our current workflow
                -Agreed: NEEDINFO: Used only if most the information is there and the bug can be confirmed but additional information would be useful
                              Request that once information is provided, move bug to NEW not to UNCONFIRMED or REOPENED
               -Agreed: INVALID: If bug cannot be confirmed with information and there just isn't enough information there to reproduce the bug, we will move to INVALID
                             Comment shouldn't ask user to change status once additional information is provided (if additional information is provided), instead QA member should change status once they can confirm bug.
         *Currently there are 230+ REOPENED bugs which are not assigned, QA team will slowly get through these moving them to an appropriate status to reflect above agreement.
               -Action: All: Slowly get through this list LIST OF REOPENED NOT ASSIGNED
            *Action: Joel will keep metrics so that we don't forget about this
