[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Hi all,

find below the list of topics that are planed to come up in the next
EPEL SIG meeting which is scheduled for today, Wednesday at 18:00
UTC in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.org.

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | fill the steering committee; one
self-nomination: Xavier Lamien| all |
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | elect a new chair | all |
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | new meeting time? | all |
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | KojiAndBodhiForEpel | mmcgrath, Jeff_S |
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/KojiAndBodhiForEpel

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | make broken dep reports work and send them to
the list  | mmcgrath | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | do we need a epel-announce-list (or both a
epel-announce-list and a epel-package-announce-list) | all |
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | orhans in EPEL?| all |
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | marketing: Logo, Posters, etc?| smooge |
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | more mirrors | smooge |
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc

/topic EPEL SIG Meeting | Free discussion around EPEL

Note: there are some more things on the schedule pages (like "marketing:
Logo, Posters, etc?" and "EPEL task force"), but I ignored them for this
meeting as we'll likely run out of time otherwise. If there is time
available of course nobody is stopping us from discussing those topics..

You want something to be discussed? Send a note to the list in reply to
this mail (please adjust the subject) and we'll add it to the schedule.
You can also propose topics at the end of the meeting itself when "Free
discussion around EPEL" comes up.

*If your name/nick is on above list*: please give a status update on the
list *and* in the wiki on the individual task pages (linked from the
schedule page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Schedule ). That way
all the interested parties know what up ahead of the meeting; that will
avoid long delays and "status update monologues" in the meeting.

Thanks everyone!

As usual, I have conflicting meetings and probably won't make it.   
I'll chime in on some issues below...

Should we wait another week or two to see if there is more interest?   
Nothing against Xavier, just want to be sure everyone who is  
interested has a chance to let us know.

AFAIK both nirik and smooge volunteered for this.  Is that correct?   
Anyone else?

I would really appreciate this since
I have other meetings most of the  
morning on Wednesdays.

I'm not sure why
my name is here, but I have not touched koji at  
all...  I don't imagine I'll have the time anytime soon to tackle this.

Our list is relatively low traffic
(at least IMO), so I don't really  
see the need for an "announce" list.  Having a package announce list  
may be nice for people that want to know what's new, but don't really  
care about the development process.

Don't think so -- two weeks should be enough. Actually it are more weeks
in fact, because we had another "we want to fill a seat for the
steeering committee"-phase riht before this one and also only one
nomination.

I'd say you guys discuss the meeting time again soon -- maybe you can
find a better timeslot.

Because I suck -- I meant _blah_/RobMyers. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, a dedicated announce list IMHO really would be helpful for testing
-> stable move announcements and things like:
