+=========
+Present:
+blueness, dberkholz, dilfridge, rich0, scarabeus, ulm, williamh
+
+Open bugs/issues
+================
+- GLEP 63 (GPG signing).
+ This is now a draft and has a number assigned [1]. However, a vote
+ hasn't been requested yet, and there are still some pending changes.
+ Therefore postponed to next meeting.
+
+EAPI deprecation
+================
+The council voted to deprecate or ban EAPIs 0 to 3:
+- Deprecate EAPI 3: Accepted unanimously.
+- Deprecate EAPI 0: Accepted unanimously.
+- Ban new EAPI 1 ebuilds: Accepted unanimously.
+- Ban new EAPI 2 ebuilds: Accepted (5 yes, 1 no, 1 abstention).
+
+Stable keywords on testing architectures
+========================================
+Some developers continued to mark ebuilds stable on archs dropped to
+testing (namely, m68k, sh, and s390), leaving dependencies on these
+archs in an inconsistent state. The council notes that this will not
+be a problem if these archs are marked as "exp" in profiles.desc.
+The respective arch team can use repoman -e, whereas other developers
+can ignore stable keywords for these archs. In particular, dropping
+the last stable version of an ebuild for an "exp" arch is allowed.
+
+- Vote: Minor archs with inconsistent stable keywording should be
+ marked "exp".
+ Accepted unanimously.
+
+gtk USE flags
+=============
+Following the recent announcement of the QA team on USE flag policy,
+especially gtk flags, the council discussed whether QA has such
+authority over tree policy.
+
+- Vote: QA's right to create standards in GLEP 48 includes flag
+ names and functionalities.
+ Accepted (5 yes, 2 abstentions).
+
+The council did not vote on the concrete issue of gtk flags. It was
+suggested that the QA and GNOME teams should discuss any further
+issues arising there.
+
+Open floor
+==========
+TomWij asked whether consistent category naming or bigger categories
+should be preferred, which was briefly discussed.
