Minutes:
 * Link to NewPackageProcess in account system mail. Tricky due to generic nature of account system (which needs to remain as Fedora expands).  Elliot to explore
 * Sample NewPackageProcess document. Not done yet.
 * NewPackageProcess vetting. Has been done, looks good with a few minor tweaks from spot and mschwendt.
 * cvs-import.sh creating branches. No progress.
 * sudoers. Fixed
 * Mail on commit to a contributors' module this has dependencies on other larger changes to the package submission process, so we're going to lower the priority until those happen.
 * New package submission process. Dave thinks some of this can be done pretty simply with bugzilla, he's going to mock up some bugs with the current db.
 * Write up of package review guidelines. These are up at PackageReviewGuidelines as a first pass.  Additional comments and suggestions welcome.
 * Sponsor nominations. Question of people not being aware that they can do reviews without being a sponsor.  Discussion on how to make this more clear.
 * Ed Hill nominated and approved.
 * Greg/Sopwith/Jeremy working issues with external access to machines in colo to make it easier to move things forward there.
 * Buildsystem update
 * Build boxes updated to FC4
 * New buildsys installed on them
 * Can't test new buildsys without shutting down the old so some downtime will be required.
 * Going to shoot for this weekend
 * fedoraproject.org revamp
 * Work is ongoing by dfong and hrishi and hopefully it'll be able to go live next week.
