== Brainstorming FUDCon Fedora 11 External Audio Options ==
* streaming audio or video
* could someone at MIT Television help?
* one central server for streaming and use laptops in individual sessions
* potential problems
*# enough bandwidth to get to fedora talk
*# enough hardware
* use IRC for feedback loop to livestream
* what about targeting one or two rooms to pilot the live stream
** do well in one room
* would need to create a standard setup guide so it is easy
* setup in advance, preferably the day before so time isn't wasted in 
individual sessions trying to get things to work
* would to designate people in each room to watch over equipment
* Plan of attack:
*# Paul Frields will try to make contact with MIT TV
*# Chris Tyler to send out email to various fedora lists soliciting help 
and hardware from people attending--clip on microphones or video cameras

== FUDCon Update ==
* Planning is on track with Paul the organization of everything
* For people arriving before Friday, January 9, 2009, it might be good 
to have a meeting place for: "I'm here please put me to work place"
* Most of the critical help will be needed the week before and up until 
the event
* Will have  a couple ads running in the MIT newspaper advertising FUDCon

* Release Engineering requested Board decision on necessity of resigning 
Fedora 8 packages with end of life less than one month away

re-signed, as was originally communicated to the public.

== Push of Defective Packages ==

non-functioning systems

involving QA, Infrastructure, Release Engineering, and tools developers 
(Seth Vidal, etc.)
