• Administrative
• Technical
  • Future
    • testing infrastructure
      • needed unit tests?
        • build as errors are found?
        • use the new API as a framework and develop tests for each of those
        • mib handlers
          • it'll be very hard to write tests for the low level handlers, and "medium difficulty" to do the helpers
        • basic libraries are easier to start with
    • build cmake vs ??
      • cmake still looks better
      • circular dependencies discussed in configure and in include/net-snmp/types.h
    • streamlined agent thoughts
      • Wes has a streamlined agent project coming up.
      • thoughts welcome on which sections of the code are worth removing for small agents
      • and on the best way to architect the modularity, etc.
• Round Table
  • Wes: stripped down libraries and TLSTM interop
