From the Steering Committee:

 * nirik (KevinFenzi)
 * stahnma (MichaelStahnke)
Missing from the Steering Committee:

 * quaid (KarstenWade)
=== Summary ===
* EPEL Meeting|push to stable easily -- knurd
* knurd talked to mschwendt about it but didn't find time for more
yet; more work underway  (which is in progress already when this report
got written)
* we'll make nirik a pusher as well to spread the burden of the work
* new meeting time? -- all (see also
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/NewMeetingTime )
* stahnma suggested to do alternating meetings (and not in the middle
of the work-day), like some other Fedora groups. Another old idea
mentioned earlier was to do bi-weekly meetings (maybe a mix of both?).
Discuss further on the list.
* Metadata for all Packages available to contributors. -- stahnma
* The thread that was brought up about this is very interesting;
basically, the EPEL community has no exact list of packages in RHEL/RHN
proper; and even if we get a list of packages, we still need metadata;
to see if we're conflicting with RH packages
* some discussion around this; see log for full details; But its a
complicated topic, so continue on the list
* the new License tags and EPEL
* nirik will consult spot how to handle the tags for EPEL and post to
the list about it
* is anybody reading the weekly reports?
* some people said they do. But its a boring job, so tell me if I'm
wasing my time ;-)
