Items to be discussed in the next meeting can be added here:  
2011-06-13 - Conflicts Guidelines - EPEL has a lot more compatibility packages than Fedora.  These can't all be made parallel installable.  Would it be okay to relax the Conflicts Guidelines in EPEL somewhat to allow for this?  Example [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712921 Zabbix Review]
2011-06-13 - Python26 subpackages vs separate packages - Fedora allows python3 binary rpms to be built as subpackages of a single rpm.  Should EPEL allow the same for python26 packages?  FPC leans against that but would like the EPEL SIG to chart their own course here.  The reasons for advising against it are EPEL has: 1) stricter policy about incompatible updates so separate packages can evolve independently should the need arise to update to a newer version, 2) Someone wanting the python26 version of a module also likely wants the latest version of that module rather than the version currently built in EPEL5 against python(2.4), 3) Bugs that prevent building, updating, running against python26 should not prevent the package being building/updating on python-2.4 and vice versa.  With subpackages, this is the case.
