In these elections three new members would be elected to replace the bottom three seats from the last elections[4].

=== Few System-config tools to be migrated ===


=== cvsl0n Approval Process ===
[[NilsPhilippsen]] announced the plans for the migration of a few system-config tools  (date, nfs, samba, services, users) from the mercurial to the git repository. Additionally, the documentation and the software would be segregated[8][9]. During the migration, these modules will not be available for updation in translate.fedoraproject.org.


The current process of approving new members into the cvsl10n group is currently being discussed for enhancement[5]. Due to some recent problems related to submission of translations by unknown translators[6] and other problems related to translation submission, the request for a review of this process was raised again in the FLP meeting last week.

A new ticket[7] was filed by [[RunaBhattacharjee]] requesting to increase the frequency of updates of the Translation Status page[8] as translators rely heavily on these status pages while coordinating the translation work requirements.
