+## Agenda
+
+###Assert node can be compiled as static / dynamic libraries [#806](https://github.com/build/issues/806)
+
+-  we discussed the best way to get a first job up and running
+- Rafael, what about parametrizing
+- Michael, problem is that runs will then be mixed
+- Refael, maybe use pipelines
+- João pipelines are expressive, but output is hard to see.
+- João will clone copy of stress test (good example) and Rafeal can use that one to start as it
+   already covers all platforms and has less jobs than the main build/test.
+
+### tmp dir needed on ubuntu 1604 and fedora23 [#873](https://github.com/build/issues/873)
+
+- Main issue was the prioritization as this seemed to hang out there a while (6 months)
+- Today its takes quite a bit of pushing to get things prioritization  
+- Myles had suggested project board
+- Myles has also suggested paid resource from the Foundation
+- João do we need to ask for more people interested in linux to join the build WG
+- Refael maybe partition the farm and have owners, so that they can do these kinds of
+  tasks on the general machines.
+- Refael to create first draft of the board
+- Refeal to reach to Chris and seishun to see if they are interested in taking some of this
+- In the issue itself sounds like Rod has run job which should have created the required
+  Directories.
+
+### https://github.com/nodejs/build/pull/912
+
+- Refael, one sentence which providers provide is ok.
+- Take back to Github and if not resolved discuss next meeting.
+
+## Questions
+
+### Dropping support for 32 bit on Centos 6 [#885](https://github.com/nodejs/build/issues/885)
+
+- Issue is that if we upgrade compiler we can no longer build 32 bit João
+- Soft consensus to stop shipping 32 bit binaries and downgrade to experimental
+- Next step is setting up a new machine which can be used to build for 9/master and
+  existing one to be used for earlier releases. What we need is a volunteer to setup that machine
+- Refael to create issue asking for machine to be created + test key added, he’ll configure, once
+  ready on those with access to release infa will add there.
