Summary
- EPEL Meeting|push to stable easily -- knurd
- knurd talked to mschwendt about it but didn't find time for more yet; more work underway
(which is in progress already when this report got written)
- we'll make nirik a pusher as well to spread the burden of the work
- new meeting time? -- all (see also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/NewMeetingTime )
- stahnma suggested to do alternating meetings (and not in the middle of the work-day), like some other Fedora groups. Another old idea mentioned earlier was to do bi-weekly meetings (maybe a mix of both?). Discuss further on the list.
- Metadata for all Packages available to contributors. -- stahnma
- The thread that was brought up about this is very interesting; basically, the EPEL community has no exact list of packages in RHEL/RHN proper; and even if we get a list of packages, we still need metadata; to see if we're conflicting with RH packages
- some discussion around this; see log for full details; But its a complicated topic, so continue on the list
- the new License tags and EPEL
- nirik will consult spot how to handle the tags for EPEL and post to the list about it
- is anybody reading the weekly reports?
- some people said they do. But its a boring job, so tell me if I'm wasing my time ;-)
