The live spins area of Fedora is understaffed. I want to do more with getting
things improved with livecd-tools, but I am also stuck taking a bigger role
in the spins SIG part, as we are really short handed there. We really need a
few leaders to step up and some worker bees willing take take on things
assigned to them. (I would prefer to be in the worker bee category.)
I also have some other important stuff (Ogre) that I need to get done before
the alpha and it might end up taking up quite a bit of my time.

I'd like to see reviews of the various pending patches get done and have
some sort of process for deciding what needs to happen (just a single review
or is more than one ack needed) before a patch can get applied.

I was also hoping we could get a meeting set up where this stuff could be
hashed up and we could get things moving again. I really don't have the
time to lead this effort, but will provide some help in doing work if
someone else does.
