==Minutes==

=== Security===
* Security has an API request into the PMC for hints
* No patch in hand yet
* Unless its something that we never think we will do, we should just do a patch anyways
* If it doesn't go in now then it will probably be pushed to 3.5 (we don't normally add API in point releases)
* The request is to add new optional attribute to an extension point in a schema
* Could consider having an internal attribute on the schema for now to handle our cases
* Problem is that there are other providers coming down the pipes who will want to use it

===Launcher===
* There is a BIDI bug against the launcher
* File encoding on the Mac didn't agree with the system encoding
* Andrew has a patch but just needs to test it
* Also another bug (223467) about not being able to launch in a DBCS folder
* Also working on identifying the Sun VM on Linux

===Translation Problem===
* There is a problem with translations when they are put in the dropins folder
* Problem is that the registry has already been started before the bundles in the dropins are resolved
* So first startup only some things will be translated (only things contributed by commands)
* Problem is described in bug 230421
* Can we clear the registry cache when we detect a fragment has been added?
* Are there changes we could do in p2 to fix this?
* Tom will take initial assignment and pass it on to Oleg after initial investigation

===Bugs===
* If bugs have a 3.4 milestone set, then we need to either set a real milestone or remove the target
