Meeting Logging

A new tool for IRC meeting management^[1] is available for Fedora channels on Freenode. Jon Stanley^[2] explained that the tool "was developed by our friends over at Debian, who are using it to record their meetings as well. We would like all Fedora meetings to be recorded using this mechanism, such that there's one format for all of the logs."

Fedora Packaging Committee

There is an open seat on the Fedora Packaging Committee^[1]. Those who are interested should contact Tom Callaway^[2].

Resources for packagers

Kevin Fenzi^[1] has "setup some machines/virtual instances here to assist maintainers that might not have access to all versions/arches Fedora runs on."^[2]. If you want more information, see the appropriate wiki page^[3].
