There was on-list voting which carried over to IRC for a quick proposal on naming TeX packages with a prefix of "tex-" instead of the current practise of naming them after the TeX distribution in use ("tetex-" or "texlive-").
Current votes are as follows:
- Voting for: tibbs scop f13 abadger1999 (all on-list) rdieter (on IRC)
- Voting against: (none)
The issue will te baken up again when spot is back from vacation.
The Python Eggs guidelines are still on the table, not having been discussed by FESCo last week.
🔗 Other Discussions
There was some on-list discussion regarding virtual provides for the TeX distribution packages which carried over slightly into the IRC meeting.

[12:05:57] <tibbs> Anyone here for the FPC meeting? [12:06:19] * scop is here [12:07:02] <tibbs> I'm actually conscious this week. [12:08:09] <rdieter> here (mostly) [12:08:28] <tibbs> Not going to get much done with three, I fear. [12:09:41] <tibbs> lutter, f13, spot, abadger1999: FPC meeting? [12:09:47] <jeremy> spot's on vacation [12:09:51] <tibbs> Poo. [12:09:53] <f13> I'm busy with other things. [12:10:08] <abadger1999> here [12:10:55] <lutter> tibbs: sorry .. on the phone (I'll jump in as soon as I am off) [12:11:08] <tibbs> That would make five. [12:11:29] <tibbs> Who called the on-list vote for the "tex-" prefix? [12:12:07] <abadger1999> Spot made the proposal and I started off the voting. [12:12:38] <tibbs> I think it recenved sufficient votes, but I'm not sure. [12:13:49] <abadger1999> It has four +1s (tibbs, scop, f13, abadger1999) and spot proposed it but didn't explicitly vote. [12:14:25] <tibbs> Five would do it but I'll hold off on passing it to FESCo until spot comes back. [12:14:47] <tibbs> Somehow I missed any mention of him going away. [12:15:02] <rdieter> I'm +1 to the proposal too, but think blocking on hearing from spot is a good idea too. [12:15:14] <tibbs> Funny, too; vacation is when I get to work on Fedora. [12:15:34] <tibbs> rdieter: I'll make a note of your vote in the minutes. [12:18:35] <abadger1999> Hmm... FESCo didn't explicitly talk about anything the FPC might have passed last week. [12:18:55] <rdieter> anything else for today? [12:19:23] <abadger1999> Are python eggs a go or should we ping them to make sure they had a chance to see them and object. [12:19:45] <tibbs> Unfortunately I wasn't with it at all last week. [12:20:10] <tibbs> If FESCo didn't mention it at all then we shouldn't go ahead with it. [12:20:42] <tibbs> Unfortunately Brian's out of it as well so FESCo meetings haven't been summarized for a while. [12:20:59] <tibbs> rdieter: I think that's it unless someone wants to talk about the tex virtual provides. [12:21:32] <rdieter> unless we're ready to vote (I don't think we are), then more discussion onlist makes sense there. [12:21:54] <abadger1999> It sounds reasonable but I don't have the expertise to write the draft... I'd rather the Tex people brought it that far. [12:22:13] <rdieter> +1, just no one (so far) seems willing to do that. ): [12:24:50] <abadger1999> Okay. I guess that's all. [12:24:56] <tibbs> Yep, I think that's it. [12:25:10] <tibbs> I'll make sure that Eggs is on FESCo's agenda this week.
