* Date: Tuesday, June 9, 2020 @ 17:00 UTC
* Location: https://meet.jit.si/octave-dev-2020-06-09

== Todays topics ==

=== Octave 6 blockers ===

* Bug {{Bug|57439}} function handles to private functions
** Does it cause the MS Windows slowdown? (probably yes)
** Timeline for fix? No.
** Ideas for a fix on jwe's private dev repo (link?)

* Bug {{Bug|57591}} crash during graphics generation / run of test suite
** Use [[Continuous Build|Buildbot]] to track?
** Nobody knows the cause of these random, non-reproducible crashes.

=== Referencing packages ===

* [[Image package]] now uploaded to [https://zenodo.org/record/3660625#.XuBqg88zagg Zenodo], linked with [https://orcid.org/ OrcID]
* How to probably credit authors / contributors.

=== Development image ===

* Would there be value to a development VM or other type of image to provide a standard environment?
** currently a Docker exists with the latest build for usage/testing
** if a VM, what is the minimal sized setup to make it useful/effective

* Could instructions on the Wiki provide this purpose?
** See [[Building on Microsoft Windows]].
** WSL and instructions might provide a development path for MS Windows users.
** If instructions are enough, would instructions for a user to get and setup a VM or WSL enough to remove need to host a VM?

== Ideas for next meeting ==
