- KojiAndBodhiForEpel | unassigned | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/KojiAndBodhiForEpel
- with FE6 EOL we are the only ones left on plague and the old scripts (and without bodhi) which might become a problem sooner or later
- mmcgrath will try to poke the right people to make koji for EPEL hopefully possible sooner; he will also officially take care of this task from now on ("its going to become an Infrastructure priority anyway, count me in as point man")

- Free discussion around EPEL
- nirik> | I'd like to throw out a plea for a reviewer for my clamav for epel package... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396171
nirik> | I'd like to get clamav in, but I fear people are afraid because it's not the same as the fedora package. Or that it is and they would have to review that...
- nirik> | I also have been working on getting munin in... cleaned up the fedora package and am working on the requirements for epel.
