Since I can't attend, I'll post my notes below.  I'm sure they'll prove 
worthless in your talks.  ;-)

I've been really pressed for time lately, but I'd still like to work on my 
planned revamp of the Account System to introduce some of the requested 
features, add a lot more checking to avoid tracebacks and other potential 
problems, and to make the whole system a lot easier to use and interface 
with.  If someone else beats me to it, I won't be hurt.  ;-)  The 
Infrastructure team has also been looking at options to integrate the Account 
System with some other services for single sign-on.

One very big question here:  Do we need to continue requiring GPG-signed CLAs, 
or can we look at click-through options?

For the time being, the CMS is off the plate for Infrastructure and awaiting 
work from the Websites team.

http://fpserv.fedoraproject.org/ has been available for a while now, but very 
few people have done any work on it...

The biggest roadblock we face in making the f.r.c migration happen is the 
Plone site.  We need that site themed suitably, and we need its content 
built.  I've worked a little on this, but we don't even have any clear 
decisions about how, exactly, the site is supposed to interact with the wiki 
and what features we really want to use.  We need some coordination between 
Fedora Documentation and Fedora Websites to figure out what goes where and to 
get the Plone content written.  Once the Plone site is ready, we'll migrate 
the wiki to the new server, along with giving it an upgrade, and we'll wrap 
the Plone site around it.  Depending upon the timetable, we might even be 
able to integrate some of the MoinMoin DocBook work that is being done as 
part of Google's Summer of Code.  That would give the Docs team some more 
power and flexibility with the wiki.

Once we have feedback from this meeting, I think Karsten and I need to meet up 
and talk about making things happen.

I'd like to volunteer to help with this.  Now that we have guidelines for how 
the logo should be included in other graphics, we need a clear policy about 
where and how it can be used.  We're still getting a lot of questions, and 
it's starting to have PR implications.
