2. chair selection (dmcbride, 13:21:06)
   1. group agrees that a community member should chair the group, following the initial startup period (dmcbride, 13:22:38)
   2. mbeierl suggests that if we can't find someone to commit to being the chair, then a fallback would be to rotate the chair among members of the working group (dmcbride, 13:23:22)

3. discussion topics for upcoming meetings (dmcbride, 13:28:22)
   1. continuous delivery (dmcbride, 13:28:46)
   2. release timing for projects using CD model (dmcbride, 13:30:14)
   3. mbeierl suggests CI/CD releases should not have branches as we will not go back to old versions to fix a bug and release that as a branched version. CI/CD releases always move forward and new features along with bug fixes are always put on the new release. Only traditional release has bug fix branches (mbeierl, 13:35:25)
   4. how do we use test tools within CD process? Test tools need independent validation before they can be used to validatie features. (dmcbride, 13:45:12)
   5. should different implementers of CD (e.g. XCI, Apex) follow a model (spec) so that they produce similar results for the same feature? (dmcbride, 13:46:36)
   6. Or, should implementers follow their own design decisions with varying results for the same feature. (dmcbride, 13:48:15)
   7. some projects have dependency chains that may prevent them from participating in CD (e.g. ArmBand/Fuel depend upstream on Mirantis integration with openstack) (dmcbride, 13:53:06)
   8. Release gates. How many? What are the requirements for each? (dmcbride, 13:56:38)
