I would like to have a meeting on this as soon as possible, and continue 
to have regular meetings at regular intervals. My time constraints 
though limit my availability, as I can imagine other people's time 
constraints them somehow.

Monday Juli 6th, 17:00 UTC, sounds like a good time to get together and 
continue our conversations about the Spins SIG, as we have a pretty load 
of work to do in this Fedora 12 development cycle.

We should address at least the following topics, so maybe we can start a 
conversation on the mailing list before we have the actual meeting;

- Spins Process (details, keep-it-simple-stupid)
- Milestones
   - Tasks for the Spins SIG attached to each milestone
   - Tasks for the Spin maintainers attached to each milestone
- Packaging (fedora-spins vs. custom-spins vs. spin-kickstarts as it is now)
- Testing (from last cycle's experiences and impressions)
- Our meeting time and recurring meeting schedule
- Increasing the level of participation by maintainers and other people 
interested in Spins, but not yet part of the Spins SIG yet.

And any other given topic you feel like we need to discuss.

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
