+Meeting
+-------
+
+ * roll call
+
+    here:
+
+    Betelgeuse (late)
+    chainsaw
+    dberkholz
+    grobian
+    hwoarang
+    jmbsvicetto
+    ulm
+
+ * vote/discuss:
+
+   * EAPI specification in ebuilds
+
+     * Vote on final PMS wording
+
+       The council approved with 6 yes votes the final PMS wording as submitted on
+       http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-project/msg_e6eafd6be25794ca503e0ac9d6968cd3.xml
+
+     * Vote to change the status of GLEP55
+
+       The council approved with 6 yes votes to change the status of GLEP55 to rejected.
+       Per Ulrich's suggestion, the GLEP status heading will be changed to "the council
+       rejected this GLEP in its 2012-05-08 meeting in favor of parsing the EAPI from
+       the first non-blank and non-comment line of ebuilds.
+
+
+    * Separate /usr partition vote of last meeting
+
+      Following the discussions in the dev and project threads about the last meeting
+      vote on the separate /usr partition as well as the thread on this meeting's agenda,
+      the council members agreed that as Tony stated "sufficient understanding & agreement
+      has been built on the mailing lists".
+
+
+    * Review of the council term
+
+      As suggested by Roy, the council members did a review of this council term.
+      Tony remarked he feels this council did particularly well on attendance. Fabian
+      collected his thoughts on http://dev.gentoo.org/~grobian/achievements-council-1112.txt
+      Donnie suggests having fewer rotating chairs and have them do a few meetings in
+      a row to improve efficiency. Jorge also noted that picking chairs in advance
+      does help getting meetings prepared. Several members argued be prepared is very
+      important. Petteri noted council members should be proactive and Jorge noted how
+      work got a toll on his time for council duties.
+      Donnie was bothered by the "red tape" and the amount of time council spent on issues
+      that weren't really up to it. He also maintains the believe that innovations should
+      be pushed by individuals and that the council should do everything to quickly get out
+      of the way.
+   
+
+    * Open bugs with council involvement
+
+      * bug 383467
+
+        Jorge noted this bug was his and that the council voting results are already available
+        at the elections page http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/elections/council/ . He also promised
+        to complete the conversion of the 2005 nominees file, fix the master ballot for last year
+        election as noted by Ulrich, to drop http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/#doc_chap9
+        and link back to the elections page.
+
+      * bug 411069
+
+        Ulrich argued the council shouldn't be CC'ed on this bug and as other council members
+        agreed this isn't a council issue, the council has been removed from CC of this bug.
+
+
+ * next meeting:
+
+   Tuesday, 20120612 1900 UTC
+
+
+ * open floor:
+
+   No issues were brought to the council attention.
