+## March 31
+
+### Fostering external collaboration
+
+#### What would a React roadmap look like?
+
+* Need to document “what we want” so we have something to point back to
+* Either a single document (roadmap?), or a set of issues with tags
+* Suggestion: create a separate repo for RFCs (like Ember)
+
+#### PRs should not get stale
+
+* Closed a bunch of old PRs recently
+* If we don’t want something, we should close it sooner and communicate why
+* Major source of confusion is that no one knows which release a particular PR or issue is a priority for
+* Having a roadmap would help this tremendously, but even if we don’t have one, just tagging PRs with milestones would help ensure timely responses, etc
+
+#### Linking to PRs from our release notes
+
+* Makes sense for high level things
+* For bugs and whatnot, this might be super noisy
+* Could boost morale for contributors
+* Right now it’s hard to compare the difference between different versions, this could help
+* We’ll try it for the v15 release notes and see how it feels
+
+### Releasing 15
+
+* A few blockers related to `setAttribute`:
+  * https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/6219
+  * https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/6119
+* Paul is going to write up a final tracking issue
+* Final 15 should be released next week
+
+### Separating Addons
+
+* We don’t use them much internally, and have been letting feature requests and issues get stale
+* How do we separate them?
+  * If we move them to a different repo we will never look at it again
+  * We don’t currently look at them, but we at least feel guilty about it
+  * Should we be less afraid to disown code?
+* `update()` is simple because it’s tiny
+* `ReactTransitionGroup` is really complicated
+* Have to figure out the logistics here, but we’re going to move them into their own [reactjs](http://github.com/reactjs) repo
+  * If there’s already something better, we should link to that instead
+
+### Trying JavaScript Styles in Internal Facebook Infra
+
+* There are *tons* of different ways to render JS styles (see Radium, CSS Modules, React Native Web, etc)
+* One of the biggest things we need to figure out is performance
+* Chris is experimenting with converting internal transforms at Facebook to output JS instead of CSS
+* The plan is to convert some of the Facebook products to use JS styles and profile different approaches
+* If there are good results we might eventually consider supporting something like this in React DOM
+* **This work is tied to internal infra, is very experimental, and might not give any results**
