We kept this week's meeting super-short, due to a timing clash with a certain event in Cupertino where more interesting announcements were being made ;)

The introduction of the Core Team last week has had a real positive impact on the project as we're no longer dependent on me for progress. This means I don't have to spend quite so much time on GitHub and have a little more time to focus on bigger picture things like Ghost's memory usage, and long term planning.

This week however, I am on a mission to reduce the PR list back down to as few open items as possible. I'm also working on getting a better understanding of Ghost's memory usage, and seeing if we can put together some tooling so that we have memory usage information as part of our build.

#### Toward 0.5.2

We've now got open PRs for all the user interface issues which prevent us from doing a release. Once those are merged, there will be some minor items to clean up, but nothing release blocking.

In addition, there are a number of feature PRs that have been merged, or which will hopefully get merged this week, and a few more which should be relatively quick to cross off. This means that we will be able to do a release next week, although we may hold it an extra week to cram in some extra awesome.

#### An update on Apps

Since we shifted our focus to the API, Ember, and then Multi-User, the Apps project has had almost no movement. Over the next couple of weeks, the open issues for the App project are going to get a review and an overhaul, to make them more independent and easier to pick up. We'll then continue to work on apps behind a config flag, until we're confident we have a usable toolkit.

## Full details:

The full logs of the meeting [are available](https://107.20.237.151:8081/logs/%23ghost/20140909?ref=ghost.org#pm43624) from Slimer, our IRC bot (who is also on [GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/Slimer?ref=ghost.org) by the way!).

## What is this?

We hold a public development meeting pretty much every Tuesday at 5:30pm London time in the #ghost channel on freenode. 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 16th September, 5:30pm London time](https://everytimezone.com/?ref=ghost.org#2014-9-16,270,6bj).
