== Post Fedora 9 ==
  * During our short "down" time before F10 alpha f13 would like to get 
some things going
     1. Better use of our Trac space
        * closing out tickets on time
        * tracking milestones and tasks
     1. Start scoping tasks for summer intern
        * Casey Dahlin (he's worked with notting in the past on things 
like upstart)
        * work on things lik new maintainer containment, tooling around 
non-responsive maintainers, Trac gateway, and other potential things 
like Kopers (Koji Personal Repos)
     1. Tools
        * sigul--signing server needs work and connection with koji
        * pungi is going to inherit splittree and pkgorder from 
anaconda-runtime; need to integrate the functionality of those into 
pungi code
        * more tooling around releng tasks and tree validation
     1. Upgrade releng1 to RHEL5 from FC6
     1. What to cover at FUDCon Boston
        a. Start conversation about generation SCM (Source Control 
Management)
          * primary focus on requirements gathering and work flow 
possibilities
        a. SELinux vs. chroots discussion--see fedora-selinux-list
  * f13 is planning to run for Fedora Board and if he secures a position 
he would no longer represent Release Engineering on FESCo--would need a 
replacement
