Steering Committee

any of the RHTers who deal with RHX would be interested"
* smooge and nirik are nominated as new chairmen; more nominations welcome; new chair
will be elected in the next meeting
* new meeting time can be discussed
* Free discussion around EPEL
* smooge> | ok how are we doing for packages etc? how many are still in waiting to be
branched etc? and wish list?
* no exact numbers, but there are likely about 2500 - 3000 packages (counting SRPMS) in
Fedora which are not in EPEL
* smooge> | I think once we are pushing things regularly and getting more packages..
it would be a good idea to start recruuitiong more mirrors
* more mirrors can't hurt; asking on that closed mirror list might be the best
start to get more mirrors
