## Charm Tools

- No major changes this week

## Charm Helpers

- "Core" package available as Python library. "programmable" forking
interface coming soon
- No easy way to install and use at the moment (no ppa, pip, etc) must
branch in to charm

## Testing

- GUI team using testing plug-in and giving feedback / proposals.
- Harness coming out this week to streamline testing

## Docs

- Landing Real soon now, UI stuff is done.
- Just relocated into juju core. lp https://launchpad.net/juju-core/docs
- What team should "own" docs?
- docs should follow juju-core milestones

## Blockers on Trello

- Still waiting on backports/PPA for 12.04.
- Still stuck on removing drupal6 from the store.

## Charm Framework updates

- Jeff and Mims need to start working on node.js.
- Rails, blocking on arosales
- gunicorn - Patrick Hetu has redone the Gunicorn charm as a
subordinate. ~charmers overall think this is a great direction to
explore, having the app be the primary, and the webserver be the
subordinate. Nice job Patrick!

## Events

- OSCON! Coming up, come to our [charm
school](http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013/public/schedule/detail/29115)

## Misc

- Campbell Mcneill dropped in to check out the hangout, he's had
success with  Juju, Hadoop, and OpenStack; but needs help with MAAS,
so we pointed him  in the [right
direction](http://askubuntu.com/questions/288681/juju-with-maas-error-file-provider-state-not-found)
