    (jonmasters, 15:20:42)
  * dgilmore working on f15 builder images,  (jsmith, 15:20:45)

    and they'll be in much better shape than what we've been building on
    (jsmith, 15:22:20)

* Item 1: Items that require attention  (jsmith, 15:24:01)
  * coreutils, findutils, gettext are critical  (jsmith, 15:24:16)

    15:24:24)

* Item 2: Acceptable criteria  (jsmith, 15:24:40)
  * What are we targeting at this point?  (jsmith, 15:24:48)
  * gcc + coreutils + findutils + gettext are blocking pbrobinson from

  * raspberry pi will be shipping, and users will be encouraged to use
    Fedora as the base of that system  (jsmith, 15:34:28)
  * so minimal install set + XFCE is our target  (jsmith, 15:34:45)
  * ACTION: pbrobinson will for demo purposes at least build the sugar
    desktop too for the XO  (jsmith, 15:35:58)

  * pbrobinson had to leave the meeting -- fire alarm  (jsmith,
    15:36:28)

    f14, to minimize unneeded rebuilds  (jsmith, 15:41:30)
  * pbrobinson to then kick off shadow times 1000  (jsmith, 15:41:57)
  * After that, it won't take that much to get building rawhide doing
    mass building  (jsmith, 15:42:17)
  * F17 branch from rawhide happens February 7th  (jsmith, 15:44:23)

* Item 4: Buildsystem improvements  (jsmith, 15:44:57)
