Summary:
- broken dep reports go to the list | mmcgrath ? | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc
- the old script isn't running anymore
- discussing how to move forward; the script from mschwendt looks better then the old one, as it mails the list as well (and likely runs faster); more discussions needed (see also: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00194.html )
- next testing -> stable move | knurd | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove

- no news from Jess_S or mmcgrath
- fill the steering committee | all | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc
- smooge (who self nominated on the list) was approved as steering committee member
- knurd want's to leave:
- thus we have a vacant seat again; self-nominations welcome; quaid: "I wonder if any of the RHTers who deal with RHX would be interested"
- smooge and nirik are nominated as new chairmen; more nominations welcome; new chair will be elected in the next meeting
- new meeting time can be discussed
- Free discussion around EPEL
- smooge> | ok how are we doing for packages etc? how many are still in waiting to be branched etc? and wish list?
- no exact numbers, but there are likely about 2500 - 3000 packages (counting SRPMS) in Fedora which are not in EPEL
- smooge> | I think once we are pushing things regularly and getting more packages.. it would be a good idea to start recruuitiong more mirrors
- more mirrors can't hurt; asking on that closed mirror list might be the best start to get more mirrors
