I regret that I won't be able to make the meeting this time around. I
brought up a few things off-list that may be worth discussing.

If this is to be a regular meeting time, I'll certainly be able to
attend the next.

I have another meeting that runs to 16:30, will drop in right after and
would really like to talk about politices and process around overlapping
content in not-distro CentOS repos and EPEL.

I'll be there assuming the latest Freenode DoS settles down by then (I
can't send to any channels at the moment).

One more topic for the list -- I'd like to discuss the testing/stable
policy (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL_Updates_Policy).  Specifically,
I'd like to see the requirement lowered from two weeks because I don't
actually think much testing happens in that time, so it just ends up being
a barrier for contributors.  I'd like to see the testing time requirement
lowered/dropped globally, or at least a way for "trusted" packagers to
bypass it without going through a per-update approval process.

Thanks Smooge for pulling these together and for sending out the reminder.
