Whiteboard changed:
  Issues for discussion:
  
  1.  The future of GTK in a world where Qt is taking over
       a.  Ubuntu is shifting to QML/QT5 to support their shift away from the desktop to covering more platforms
       b.  Unit193 raised the point that Lubuntu is considering a [possible shift to Qt](http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/04/26/%23xubuntu-devel.html#t00:15)
       c.  Kubuntu is based in Qt
       d.  Trend-wise what will this mean for us standing apart in terms of graphics toolkit?
  2.  Adding apt-offline to the LiveCD seeds
       a.  Documentation was added to xubuntu-docs during the R-cycle to cover use of it
       b.  Does inclusion fit within the goals of the Strategy Document?
  3.  Get more people upload rights (team delegation, sponsored uploads, MOTU...)
       a.  The number of people with upload rights is at a dangerously low number
       b.  To improve our resilience, what steps can we take to keep burdens of packaging and uploading from falling on so few shoulders?
       c.  Where do we want to go as a community that creates a software product in terms of our own development and growth?  Do we want more newly-minted MOTU members by the cycle's end?  Do we want more interaction with the Sponsors team by a wider cross-section of our community?
  4.  Study the viability of the integration of the HUD system to xubuntu
       a.  Ubuntu has this
       b.  How might this be adapted for Xubuntu
-      c.  Studio and Lubuntu could help as they would use the feature
+      c.  Studio and Lubuntu could help as they would use the feature
  5.  Lubuntu has "Lubuntu" and "Lubuntu Core".  Do we need/want to have "Xubuntu" and "Xubuntu Core"?
       a.  Are we providing on the CD the core of what the users want?
       b.  Do we have a way of determining if there are things users are not keeping in new installs?
       c.  How can we assess on an on-going basis the packages we include on installation media?
- 6.  Which milestone releases will we participate in this cycle? Running a single alpha, half way through could help a lot with bug fixes and a group push for testing.
+ 6.  Which milestone releases will we participate in this cycle?
+      a. For Raring, we participated for both betas
+      b. Running a single alpha, half way through could help a lot with bug fixes and a group push for testing.
  7.  What other areas should be included within our offline documentation?
