   17:45:42)
      1. Lots of fixes and work this week - DB compatibility in particular
      (dustin & rutsky) (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-02-16-16.30.log.html#l-489>,

      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-02-16-16.30.log.html#l-490>,
      17:46:48)
      3. We also fixed the "zombie apocalypse" where twistd running in a
      Docker container accumulates hundreds of zombie children, since it is not
      an init process (djmitche

   17:53:02)
      1. idea is that a bot would post to the irc channel when a new
      question is asked on stackoverflow (djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-02-16-16.30.log.html#l-581>,
      17:58:07)
      2. *AGREED*: the idea is sound, but nobody has signed on to do it (
      djmitche
      <https://supybot.buildbot.net/meetings/buildbot/2016/buildbot.2016-02-16-16.30.log.html#l-585>,
