Summary

 * EPEL Meeting|push to stable easily -- knurd

(which is in progress already when this report got written)
 * knurd talked to mschwendt about it but didn't find time for more yet; more work underway


 * 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 ;-)
