Setup Matters

We skipped last Friday's meeting because both Rob and I weren't going to be conveniently located next to a microphone, though my jury duty ended up being a nonissue. This week we had a quorum on the bench and triaged—for the third meeting in a row—six issues.

We skipped a meeting last Friday because too many participants were still in a Thanksgiving food coma. This week we had a full crew on the bench in the call and triaged six issues.

This week, I was first to arrive for the meeting and it was Rob who forgot, in this case to send the meeting request the day before the meeting. Nonetheless we had a quorum and triaged six issues.

Microsoft just released details about new installation technology for Nano Server called WSA based on AppX. So today we finally get to announce the FireGiant AppX Extension for the WiX Toolset. With this extension the same .wxs source code can create AppX packages for WSA on Nano Server and MSI packages everywhere else.

Due to unforeseeable and amazingly complication reasons (I forgot the meeting started at noon PST), I wasn't around for this meeting. Luckily, Rob was ably assisted by Sean, who now has an understanding of the challenges and rigors of the job of meeting scribe.

Today we had seven bugs to triage, and in a change from recent weeks, all were new and none were carryovers from previous meetings.
