Board business

 * We will close four tickets where we haven't heard from the requesters for over a year. ke4qqq updated each ticket to give requesters one more week to respond: 73, 74, 75, 77/85 (85 contains current action for 77)
 * We're going to try to transcribe Q & A to ask.fedoraproject.org (toshio will take on this role for now) to see if this is useful or not. After a few meetings we'll re-evaluate to see if we want to continue or not. (80)

Issues identified for further consideration or investigation
