Fedora 12 schedule
FESCo approved rel-eng's proposed Fedora 12 schedule by a 7-0 vote.

Feature: liblvm
FESCo approved liblvm as a Fedora 12 feature by a 5-0 vote.

Figure out what to do about deactivated maintainers
FESCo approved orphaning any packages still owned by maintainers with deactivated accounts by general acclamation.

Special exception for maven packages
FESCo, by a 6-0 vote, approved a special repository to be used for rebasing maven in dist-f12 that may have packages that have not yet undergone full review. FESCo tasked FPC with coming up with a special set of pre-review guidelines that the packages must still meet, and the packages must undergo full review before landing in dist-f12.

Would be good if there was an acl for "let all packagers edit this package" in pkgdb
FESCo agrees that the concept is OK, but there are a variety of implementation issues that would need addressed first.

ppc as a secondary architecture
There was a lot of preliminary discussion about PPC's status as a primary architecture now that the Board removed the restriction requiring it to remain a primary architecture. A final decision was postponed to the following meeting, as this was not actually on the agenda for this week.
