Hi all!
The goal is to do most work to organize EPEL (aka "keep EPEL running and improve it in the long run") on the list and just a bit the meetings; there is also the EPEL mantra "Power to the people with no delay." and "make Steering Committee nearly unimportant" -- those mean in other words: if you want to improve/realize something in EPEL you don't need to be part of the steering committee to realize it; just post to the list, ask for options, act in the open and if you got positive feedback and if nobody yells after a few days consider your plans kind of accepted normally.
But EPEL has a steering committee and needs one if it comes to "somebody needs to do a decision how to move forward" situations. The goal was to have seven members in the EPEL Steering Committee, but for some months we were only six: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/SteeringCommittee
I didn't know there was an empty seat. I can volunteer my time for this at this point.
