Summary

Features

• FESCo approved the following features for F10:
  • https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Red_Hat_Messaging
  • https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GStreamer_dependencies_in_RPM
    • There was a bit of discussion on the naming of Red Hat Messaging, however that is the actual project/product name and it wasn't enough of a concern to impact the Feature's acceptance.

Sponsor Nominations

• FESCo approved Bernie Innocenti as a sponsor. Dennis Gilmore volunteered to guide Bernie in his sponsor activities as he comes up to speed. Congrats to Bernie and Thanks to Dennis.

MinGW

• The MinGW discussion was delayed until next week. This was at the request of Richard Jones, and also as a result of light attendance from the FESCo members due to the Linux Plumbers Conference or other unavoidable reasons.

'make force-tag'/TAG_OPTS=-F

• nirik brought the force-tag/TAG_OPTS=-F discussion again in light of new information and further discussion on the lists. A proposal to add back 'make force-tag' was not approved due to lack of consensus (proposal #1). A second proposal to add back TAG_OPTS=-F was approved (proposal #2). Dennis Gilmore will add TAG_OPTS back to the makefile.
  • Proposal #1
    • For: j-rod, nirik, jwb, jds2001
    • Against: dgilmore
    • Absent: dwmw2, kick_, notting, bpepple
  • Proposal #2
    • For: j-rod, nirik, jwb, jds2001, dgilmore (majority vote of FESCo)
    • Absent: dwmw2, kick_, notting, bpepple

Codina

• There was a brief discussion on what the status of Codina was. FESCo would like to find out what the plan for Codina is and will revisit this next week.
