Enter agenda items here (with name, please)

1. Qarl released the alpha version of the mesh deformer. He was talking about the need for a Boolean flag in the mesh data to determine whether the deformer would deform the mesh or not. Is adding such a flag a possibility or would it break existing content? Nalates Urriah
2. People are suggesting that all bugs be reported in this JIRA: STORM-1716. Is this the best idea or should we use separate JIRA items for various bugs? Nalates Urriah
3. Linden Realms demonstrates auto attaching huds. Will the tools be expanded to cover other attachment points and be controllable by script? Ex: equipping game-related items could be handled by a hud instead of the player manually searching their inventory to attach. (Fenix Eldritch)
4. Rod's blog says "we’ve seen more than a 16 percent adoption rate" for mesh. How accurate is that figure? And is it counting all the bots out there that are blind anyway.
5. Anything in our future for non-avatar rigging?
6. How is the Z Offset supposed to work (1) ? [Gael Streeter]
7. (How) will Linden Labs support Blender's efforts to get Collada Export into a good shape? (Gaia Clary)
8. Simple mesh objects or mesh objects with simple collision boxes seem to handle collision detection much better than prims. Is this true, and how do I, as a builder of vehicles, take advantage of this to the best effect? Would roads of simple mesh objects cause less physics-induced lag?
9. Using viewer 3.2.6 (247277) I'm still not able to browse in the uploader for a custom physics model. The button is greyed out forever. TPV work fine, I assume they are based on an older version of the uploader. The Jira I filed about this disappeared and I never heard about it. (SH-2684) [Mikki Miles]
10. Is it true that users need a registered credit card in order to be allowed to upload meshes ? Or is it sufficient to have a Paypal account ? (Gaia Clary)
11. Enter agenda item here.

(1) Example: I have two rigged meshes A and B, A has a Z Offset of +5 and B of -5. What is happening if I wear A and then B ? What is then happening if I remove B (still wearing A) ?
Is the Z Offset managed by the Viewer or the Server ?
Is it supposed to be shape independent ?
I am asking this question because I made some tests with the viewer Beta 3.2.5 (246958) with two tip toe feet (each with a Z offset of 0.1) and I had very strange results: sometimes I was into the floor with my feet, sometimes I was above the ground without my feet (after having them detached)...
