Stahnma (MichaelStahnke) just missed the meeting.
Others that participated the meeting: Jeff_S, lmacken, smooge
=== Summary ===
* 00:02 -- repotags/interaction with 3rd party repos -- owner: all
* we wait for more discussion on the list (in particular for Fernando
Lopez-Lezcano before we decide how to move on)
* knurd also want to discuss cooperation with CentOS/z00dax a bit,
which might have impact to this, too
* 00:04 -- vacant seat in the steering committee
* knurd mailed those five people thimm proposed; four answered; they
gave a "no" or a "only if you don't find somebody else"
kind of answers; we wait another week and evaluate; maybe z00dax could
join the Steering Committee
(even without being a contributor for EPEL, as he can't sign the CLA)
* 00:06 -- finish the wiki docs and remove the warnings
* mether and quaid did some cleanups; quaid will do some more over the
next few days; the plan is to remove the those "not official yet"
warning by next weeks meeting, but the EPEL repo itself stays unannounced
* some discussion about bodhi with lmacken under this topic; see full
log for details
* 00:14 -- Free discussion around EPEL
* 00:15 nirik asked for comments regarding Xfce in EPEL, as Xfce will
soon get into CentOS Extras, too; (see full log for details); knurd
mentions that we should have it in EPEL, even if CentOS Extras has it,
but we should try to find a way of cooperation so bugfixes find their
way into CentOS Extras, EPEL and Fedora
* 00:20 nirik> "oh, how about mock configs?" dgilmore will make sure
they work
* 00:25 smooge> "Will we be answering who the EPEL customers are
thought to be to distinguish it from other customer bases?"; we continue
on the list, but we maybe should write something up and put it in the wiki
* 00:26 some discussions about RHEL subscriptions for testing; quiad
"I haven't gotten too far with that ... still looking for the right
person"; lots of people say that CentOS should be god enough for testing
normally; but having some testboxes with RHEL around might be helpful
