`tomtom` renaming
by Ankur Sinha
hi,
Since the review request[1] was marked a FE-Legal because of a potential
trademark concern[2], upstream has agreed to rename the package[3]. Can
you please take 5 minutes and have a look at the new name(s) upstream is
thinking of. It would help in keeping the review going.
Quoting upstream's latest comment[3]:
> hello.

> Some time has passed since the last comment about renaming the project, and I

> before actually renaming the project.

> legal/acceptation problems.
Thank you.
regards,
Ankur

Embargoed countries IRC support policy
by Jonathan Dieter
What is/should be Fedora's policy when it comes to helping people on IRC
who are from embargoed countries? I'm asking because a situation just
happened in #fedora where someone from Iran asked for help, and someone
from the UK refused to help. Obviously that's their prerogative, but if
I'm going to help them, I want to know that I'm not flouting some Fedora
guideline.

list)
