Please add topics for the next meeting here:

Long Term Topics
There are a couple of long term topics we should / want to discuss. They can be discussed when the daily business topics are done.


 * Refactoring of elements: having a new structure for at least Ubuntu and Debian specific elements.  Currently there is a lot duplication. (andreas-f)
 * *-nano elements for minimalist docker images? (andreas-f)
 * Cleanup patches? (currently about 110 open) (andreas-f)
 * DIB vs. bindep vs. instack vs. *-puppet: Functional overlap. Is there the need to support them all?  Can we possible merge some of them? (andreas-f)
 * Local vs. CI testing: (docker / vm) matrix build. Double work or step forward? (andreas-f)
 * python vs. bash: should we start refactoring bash code in python (maybe reusing the instack approach)? (andreas-f)
 * (python) replacement of dib-run-parts? (andreas-f)
 * Internal vs. external caching: there is *some* code that (tries) to handle caching. Is this still worth it in times of squid / apt-cacher-ng? (andreas-f)
 * DIB 3.0: feature list
