Hi all!
The EPEL Steering Committee's mandate for leading EPEL was time-limited by FESCo until end of September this year. Well, we are getting closer to that date now, so we IMHO should start to discuss how to move on.
So if you are a EPEL contributor: what do you want? Do you want to elect a EPEL Steering Committee? Do you want a bigger or a smaller one? Do you want to get rid of it?
If you are a member of the new FESCo: What do you guys want? Just extend the mandate by another six months or maybe a whole year? Or get rid or EPEL and make it a real project independently running and managed from FESCo (which it does mostly already)?
My opinion: extend the mandate by a year. I prefer this over making it an independent project at the moment because I don't see much benefit in making it a completely separate project, and I would like to see the commonality between Fedora and EPEL continue.
Or, in other words, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
NOTE: The above is solely my opinion. I do not speak for FESCo, or Fedora, or EPEL, or your mom.
