On behalf of the Council: following a summary of topics discussed during the last Council meeting. (2006/10/19) 1) As requested by Robbin H. Johnson, the Council discussed the member's current involvement with Gentoo projects: Chris Gianelloni: games, gwn, genkernel, catalyst, new profile structure, planning for 2007.0 Robbin H. Johnson: tree-signing, infra (Bugzilla, anon(cvs|svn)) Danny van Dyk: AMD64 releng (testing, soon new profiles) Kingtaco: infra(Bugzilla, anon(cvs|svn), utf8 on pecker) Mike Frysinger: toolchain, base-system Diego Petteno: Gentoo/FreeBSD Bryan Ostergaard: Devrel (Developer stats, fact-finding) 2) Chris Gianelloni had issued a small agenda for this meeting Inter-project communication: Consensus that communication has improved as of late. This covers especially spread information about project work from Portage/Devrel/Infra to the developers. Additionally, the council wants to put meeting summaries on Planet Gentoo and the Gentoo Forums starting with this summary. Design phase for new projects: New projects need to post an RFC containing information about their goals, the plan on how to implement their goals and the necessary resources to -dev prior to creating the project. This proposal was accepted with 6 members voting yes and one member abstained from voting Devrel etiquette guide: Needs still work before Council can discuss. Rescheduled for next meeting. Bryan Ostergaard will be working on it. QA Policies: Nothing new and QA lead was not available during the meeting. Discussion has been rescheduled for the next meeting.
