Agenda call: \agoref{gentoo-dev}{04de886ddbaaf3b15a86aa5bde5e958e}


\agendaitem{Transition to new Council}
\index{council!transition}

Clarification on the procedural side of things with transition to new Council:
\begin{itemize}
 \item 
 Nominations will always be in the month of July.
 \item
 Voting will always be in the month of August.
 \item
 August will always be the last month for a Council.
 \item
 The new Council will always take over in September.
\end{itemize}
Delays in miscellaneous aspects (like setting up infrastructure to allow 
voting) will merely delay the start of the new Council and the end of the old 
Council. Once the new Council is voted in and takes over, it will still face 
the end date of August.  This is to avoid ugly sliding windows over time of 
"Council members serve for a year, but they started late on date XXX so we have 
to delay the start of the next Council by XXX days".

Since this year voting ends after the 2nd Thursday but before the 3rd
Thursday in September, we will simply delay the September meeting until the 3rd
Thursday so that the new Council gets to sit out 12 meetings.


\agendaitem{PMS maintenance}
\index{PMS}

PMS has been moved over to Gentoo infrastructure and will be maintained by the 
portage team and any other interested Gentoo parties.\footnote{Since there is 
still discussion with other ``interested'' non-Gentoo parties who are unhappy 
about not having push access. In a way this was the step to ``take over'' PMS 
fully into Gentoo again.} In the future it can be moved to a place where 
external people can commit directly.\footnote{This aspect of the vote was 
omitted in the official summary.}


\agendaitem{Mailing list changes (wrt new gentoo-dev-announce)}
\index{mailing list!gentoo-dev-announce}\index{mailing list!gentoo-dev}
