+Summary of the meeting of March 8th, 2010
+
+Attendance
+==========
+Present:
+ Betelgeuse
+ Calchan
+ dertobi123
+ leio
+ scarabeus
+ solar
+ ulm
+
+Voting by email
+===============
+Ideas seemed to converge on how to vote by email but it was noted that this
+would constitute a change of GLEP39 which the council can't modify without an
+all-developers vote. Since there were already other changes planned or
+suggested to GLEP 39 it was decided that the council would work on a new text
+and submit it to a vote when ready. Calchan has volunteered to gather all ideas
+and work on the text.
+
+Do we want a policy for changes in metadata.xml?
+===================================================
+Adding such information to metadata.xml was considered a bad idea for two
+reasons: this information is of no use to the users and would bloat the file
+for no good reason, and it would be a technical answer to a mostly social
+problem. It was suggested that reducing territoriality could help. Ideas were
+proposed like making it official that after sending an email to the
+maintainers and waiting one week anybody could touch a package.  In the end it
+wasn't clear what exact problem was to be solved. So scarabeus volunteered to
+animate the discussions on the mailing list. The goal is to find out what the
+source of the problem is and what solution(s) we can apply.
+
+Conclusion
+==========
+See above for actions.
+The next meeting will be on April 19th 2010.
+ulm will take care of following discussions and preparing the agenda.
+
+Open floor
+==========
+vapier suggested that we keep the Gentoo calendar updated with the council
+meeting dates, which was done for the next meeting.
