   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-5>,
   16:30:14)
      1. http://paste.pound-python.org/show/eJPqXmJoyOGKtcp7hBrH/ (repasted
      for djmitche) (infobob
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-7>,

   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-12>,
   16:31:50)
      1. per rutsky, buildbot-worker parts are underway, but no PR to look
      at yet (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-13>,
      16:32:05)

   3. *Development Week in Review* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-19>,
   16:33:36)
      1. Pierre released buildbot-0.9.0b8! (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-38>,
      16:37:55)

   4. *Appveyor* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-42>,
   16:39:14)
      1. Appveyor is enabled, but not quite fully configured for Buildbot
      yet (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-43>,
      16:39:28)
      2. Vladimir requested org access today and I (dustin) approved (
      djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-44>,
      16:39:39)
      3. Should have appveyor up and running properly in a few days --
      better windows testing!! (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-53>,
      16:40:52)

   5. *Beta 8* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-57>,
   16:41:22)
      1. HttpStatus and StashStatus do not work in beta8 (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-64>,
      16:42:29)
      2. https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/pull/2097/files (tardyp
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-71>,
      16:43:49)

   6. *Synchronous Testing* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-79>,
   16:45:32)
      1. https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/pull/2102/files (tardyp
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-88>,
      16:47:19)
      2.
      http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/13.0.0/api/twisted.trial.unittest.SynchronousTestCase.html
      really doesn't help me understand this (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-99>,
      16:50:32)
      3. SynchronousTestCase is a new feature in Twisted 13.0.0 that allows
      tests to run without a reactor (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-112>,
      16:53:16)
      4. therefore faster and more deterministic (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-113>,
      16:53:26)
      5.
      http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/13.0.0/api/twisted.trial.unittest.SynchronousTestCase.html
      (tardyp
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-131>,
      16:55:10)
      6. *AGREED*: we will drop master-side support for Twisted 11, 12, and
      13 and require 14, to get this feature (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-141>,
      16:57:54)
      7. Twisted 14 is from 2014, so distros should have upgraded already,
      and anyway most users use Virtualenv which makes upgrading easy (
      djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-142>,
      16:58:14)

   7. *Latent Worker triggering builds disappear* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-153>,
   17:00:57)
      1. ght now, the build request distributor claims the build request,
      then instantiates the worker, and only creates the build when
the worker is
      started (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-170>,
      17:05:19)
      2. tomprince proposes creating the Build before instantiating the
      worker (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-171>,
      17:05:32)
      3. *AGREED*: sounds tricky, but like a good improvement (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-172>,
      17:05:46)

   8. *Plugins (is it a right way to go?)* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-184>,
   17:07:39)
      1. the on-demand loading of plugins is broken with the slave ->
      worker transition work (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-194>,
      17:09:58)
      2. *AGREED*: tabled for more discussion with rutsky and sa2ajj (
      djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-223>,
      17:15:39)

   9. *Add support for worker pools* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-225>,
   17:16:05)
      1. proposal is to add a concept of "worker pools" to configure many
      identically-configured workers; useful in latent worker situations (
      djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-229>,
      17:17:28)
      2. *AGREED*: this would be a great feature, but it's not clear how to
      implement it -- prototyping is a good next step (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-254>,
      17:22:53)

   10. *validate.sh* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-255>,
   17:23:10)
      1. validate.sh is a shell script that runs all pre-merge checks
      (tests, lint, etc.) (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-260>,
      17:24:52)
      2. sa2ajj is making minor fixups to how this script works to make it
      more robust (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-277>,
      17:29:08)

   11. *issues in main branches* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-278>,
   17:29:19)
      1. *ACTION*: sa2ajj to file a bug about ec2-related test failures on
      master (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-315>,
      17:35:51)
      2. *ACTION*: djmitche to make PR to stop using a local package repo
      in metabuildbot (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-317>,
      17:36:11)

   12. *new Github PR template* (djmitche
   <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-318>,
   17:36:15)
      1.
      https://github.com/sa2ajj/buildbot/blob/pr-checklist/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
      (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-320>,
      17:36:27)
      2. https://warehouse.python.org/project/towncrier/ (tomprince
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-04-12-16.30.log.html#l-382>,
