Summary

• some discussions about a new meeting time; we'll talk about it when we are full again

• repotags -- all; the steering committee talks about it in private currently if and (mainly) how to do them; we mainly need to put in in words

• EPEL mock configs in Fedora's mock package; nirik and Jeff_S will look into this over the next few days

• comps.xml for EPEL -- dgilmore will get one started; stahnma volunteered to help

• bodhi/testing repo/final repo layout -- bodhi needs koji these days, so EPEL needs to switch to koji to use bodhi (which we want for several reasons); dgimore will talk to mbonnet about a timeframe to use koji (which needs adjustments) for EPEL

• vacant seat in the steering committee

-- Jeff_S self nominated; but we want to solve the repotags issue first (over the next week), and fill the vacant seat afterwards

• template for requesting a contributer to get their packages into EPEL

-- idea is welcomed, further discussion on the list appreciated
