 * Python scripts that can take email as input and create Trac tickets from them
 * use rel-eng@fedoraproject.org as Trac input.
 * continue move to Trac for task management
 * work toward turning rel-eng@fp.o into a Trac ticket gateway
 * create an invite only or otherwise moderated mailing list for rel-eng discussion/voting

Ideas for Goals for F9 Release

 * brainstorm before next week's meeting to figure out what we want to do for this release outside the typical make bits show up stuff
 * send preferably by Friday so we can digest it over the weekend.
 * wwoods: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/Overview
 * notting

 * potentially the big multilib change--i need to get some stuff written down for that
 * kill the buildroot overrides stuff
 * wwoods
 * bodhi depchecking!
 * PPC as the trailblazer secondary arch
 * f13
 * signing server
 * complete the s/development/rawhide/ changes.
 * post-build processing--running rpmlint and other such things.
 * jigdo support
 * dealing with rawhide late in the cycle so that we have two nightly trees
 * composes in Colo for F9
 * warren
 * delta rpm and presto by default
 * jeremy
 * less involvement
 * need help spinning live images

Fedora CD Releases

 * The board has asked that we produce split CD media once again.
 * Release Engineering has not fully agreed, though have it would be possible
 * really just a matter of time and space, yes?
 * warren: can't upgrade with live images.
 * would increase number of test targets
 * affects on Release Engineering are more of the following:
 * compose time
 * validation time
 * sync time
 * disc space used

Meeting Time

 * Going forward (starting with next week) we will meet at 1800 UTC (1300 EST)

Fedora 8 Jigdo Data from Fedora Unity

 * 600 downloads of the .jigdo file
 * 400 downloads of the CD1 template
 * thus so 200 or so users did not know where to get started with jigdo or did not start yet.
 * thought to be useful to people that cannot do network installs
 * if we can look at what packages are on what CD and what CD other than 1 is most popular that might make for some interesting analysis
