Bug Squashing (if you are thinking of squashing bugs, list the bugs you want to squash here)

~~clamav-server lack of sane default config and initscripts (User:Izhar)~~
- ~~will need to create a package which only provide these, because the maintainer of clamav seems to not wanting to fix this in his package ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=176546 )~~
- ~~and submit it to review, else store in a private repo~~
- (seems like clamav-scanner and clamav-scanner-sysvinit provided this)

package heimdall kerberos
- heimdall kerberos uses a free-er encryption and is the primary kerberos by most linux distros including BSD
- however fedora doesn't have this

Development (if you want to hack something up, list the projects here and the tasks)

need compat-python26 package (User:Izhar)
- compat-python24 package should be simple enough as a base
- submit for review, if rejected, store in private repo

better yum-plugin-fastestmirror
- yum-plugin-fastestmirror algorithm is broken by design
- write a new plugin, and submit for review
- the new plugin should time the download speed of a single file from the mirrors, and decide based on the download sped
- the new plugin should only time the mirrors on demand, rather than on every run

Tasks which are not done shall be pushed to the next meetups
