At last week's EPEL meeting, it was proposed that at least a short term
governing committee be put together to help on the following items:
1) EPEL.next (EPIC or EPEL-rolling, etc)
2) Formalizing various amounts of unwritten rules for package addition,
removal and maintenance in current repos.
3) Lower workload on Kevin Fenzi and Dennis Gilmore as they have been EPEL
since the last EPSCO was around.
At that meeting the following people were nominated to the committee:
Dennis Gilmore
Kevin Fenzi
Stephen Smoogen
Jim Perrin
Todays (2014-08-29) meeting this was 'formalized' with people attending the
meeting. Added to that was a beginning proposal of committee governance:
The governance structure will be a short term organization to set up
policies and procedues in place for continual maintenance of EPEL. The term
of the committee will end 3 months after either new repos are setup or
voted not going to happen by said committee. If a longer term running
committee is required, the previous board will set up policies for
elections and term lengths before the short term committee ends.
After the meeting I realized that wasn't a good deadline so would like to
alter it these changes should be completed by the Fedora 22 release date.

Has there been any attempt to bring in the people working on IUS
repository? Perhaps their needs could be considered when launching new sub
repositories

Not yet. It is a good idea to bring up at this point. Are there any IUS
people on the list already? Or do you know people we should contact? [The
IUS lists I am on are very very quiet so I am not sure who that would be
these days.]

Are EPEL.next and current EPEL going to be steered by the same people?

Is the meeting time also formalized? I can make this most of the time, but
forgot this morning. (Added to calendar now).

When is this project release date? On
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/22/Schedule?rd=Releases/22 I see
2015-XX-XX. That's a lot of leeway.

Yes the meetings will be Friday 1600 UTC in #epel until changed. Any
changes will be announced on this list.

There is nothing more formal than that. I would expect that it will be 6
months after F21 which I am expecting to be in November/December of 2014
which would put 22 around June 2015. I think that getting all the items
done by November/December is hard to meet but by June should be done. The
committee can stand down at any time also.

Howdy!
Currently the ius-release package depends on epel-release. This is because several of our
packages have dependencies from EPEL. Would these new proposed repos be supplementary to
the current EPEL, or something else?

Correct. EPEL currently has a large user-base, and some basic
expectation for how it should function. Changing that would do more harm
than good.
These repositories would be in addition to the existing EPEL structure.

Can we set a concrete date? Ends June 1 2015? That's better IMO than
tracking the moving Fedora release date.
