There had been a slight delay. The ballot ends September 8. Don reported he has found an issue on Page 450 with a POSIX.1-2008 changed to POSIX.1-201x which should not have been. Geoff has subsequently confirmed, that the issue is not with the source but with our post build script, and the editors will correct for publication. Richard reported that he still had no update from IEEE about the posix.org domain , and also noted that the trademark appears to have lapsed. Andrew will raise a question about the trademark to his contacts at IEEE. Richard requested some additional source files be added to the svn repository, Andrew has completed that after the meeting. * Outstanding actions ( Please note that this section has been flushed to shorten the minutes - to locate the previous set of outstanding actions, look to the minutes from 28 Jan 2016) Bug 0000249: Add standard support for $'...' in shell Reopened http://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=249 We will return to bug 249 on a future call.
