Summary

• EPEL Meeting|push to stable easily -- knurd

• knurd talked to mschwendt about it but didn't find time for more yet; more work underway

(which is in progress already when this report got written)

• we'll make nirik a pusher as well to spread the burden of the work

• new meeting time? -- all (see also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/NewMeetingTime )

• stahnma suggested to do alternating meetings (and not in the middle of the work-day), like some other Fedora groups. Another old idea mentioned earlier was to do bi-weekly meetings (maybe a mix of both?). Discuss further on the list.

• Metadata for all Packages available to contributors. -- stahnma

• The thread that was brought up about this is very interesting; basically, the EPEL community has no exact list of packages in RHEL/RHN proper; and even if we get a list of packages, we still need metadata; to see if we're conflicting with RH packages

• some discussion around this; see log for full details; But its a complicated topic, so continue on the list

• the new License tags and EPEL

• nirik will consult spot how to handle the tags for EPEL and post to the list about it

• is anybody reading the weekly reports?

• some people said they do. But its a boring job, so tell me if I'm wasing my time ;-)
