Everyone on the call seems to be waiting for someone else to respond. I'll do it just to make up for dedup :)

- Chris said he saw major performance problems from pdflush and he is currently working on a btrfs thread to fix this.

- Eric has been testing v0.16 single-stream-write performance and is seeing kswapd issues (also part of Chris's fix) and will take Chris's code as soon as it is ready.

- Josef is rewriting the in-memory extent allocator to make it perform much better and will also fix multithreading.

- Ming Ming and Chris will try to arrange a general breakout session for all filesystems at the plumber's conference in september. (Chris is presenting a talk on btrfs at the conference)

- I listened and contributed only this synopsis.

Thank you. Also, did they get around to talking about when they are going to merge in some of the queued up patches?
