## Discussion

- Continued progress on the validations refactor - [#46](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-Admin/pull/46?ref=ghost.org)
- Would love some testing on the early [0.9.0 beta release](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/6933?ref=ghost.org)  
  - You **must do a backup** before installing this because Ghost will perform a migration of every single date in your database
  - That allows all the dates and times to be utc which can then be converted based on the date the user choses
- Some more work needed to make things better for the repository split
- Working on post scheduling is next now that timezones has been added
- Ghost 0.9.0 will not including emailing subscribers. Once the scheduling stuff is nailed down, then that will come.

## What is this?

We hold a public development meeting pretty much every Tuesday at 5:30pm London time in the #dev channel on Ghost's [slack](https://forum.ghost.org/?ref=ghost.org). In this meeting we discuss progress, important issues, and what is and isn't on [the Roadmap](https://trello.com/b/EceUgtCL/ghost-roadmap?ref=ghost.org). It's a chance for everyone to get involved and have their say about where Ghost goes next.

Hope to see you at next week's meeting: [Tuesday 14th June, 5:30pm London time](https://everytimezone.com/?ref=ghost.org#2016-06-14,270,6bj).
