Please, if anyone of you has something to add, write it to the ticket or come to the meeting, I myself am going to be there to discuss the remaining things.

I hope you will find our opinions on the fpc changes reasonable and will support us. (And if you don't find our opinions reasonable, there is still time to say so, at least.)

Hey guys really appreciate the hard effort. Will try to make the FPC
meeting (this is on #fedora-meeting-1 right).

Just glancing over the new guidelines real quick, overall they look
good, but the extended bits to build gems does look like its going to be
a PITA. I understand the reasoning behind it, but seems to add alot of
overhead (and reading your last comment on the trac issue, will there be
situations when it doesn't work?). Also would like to discuss some of
the other bits such as all rubygems providing ruby(libraryname) and the
bits about interpreter independence.

The trac issue / email threads have gotten pretty long, am hoping the
irc convo tomorrow will be a little easier to follow. In any case, take
care.
