Summary

 * some discussions about a new meeting time; we'll talk about it when we are full again


 * repotags -- all; the steering committee talks about it in private currently if and (mainly) how to do them; we mainly need to put in in words


 * EPEL mock configs in Fedora's mock package; nirik and Jeff_S will look into this over the next few days


 * comps.xml for EPEL -- dgilmore will get one started; stahnma volunteered to help


 * bodhi/testing repo/final repo layout -- bodhi needs koji these days, so EPEL needs to switch to koji to use bodhi (which we want for several reasons); dgimore will talk to mbonnet about a timeframe to use koji (which needs adjustments) for EPEL

-- Jeff_S self nominated; but we want to solve the repotags issue first (over the next week), and fill the vacant seat afterwards
 * vacant seat in the steering committee

-- idea is welcomed, further discussion on the list appreciated
 * template for requesting a contributer to get their packages into EPEL
