Summary of the Gentoo Council meeting held 11 January 2007
----------------------------------------------------------
(Summary prepared by robbat2).
Roll-call:
Present: flameeyes (proxied by UberLord), kingtaco, kloeri, kugelfang, robbat2, wolf31o2
Absent: vapier
No agenda items were raised ahead of time, so we just went in alphabetical
order.
- Kugelfang reported that the EAPI0 draft document is not quite complete. spb had
hoped to have it ready before the meeting, but didn't manage. It has been
restricted thus far to avoid 'large discussions about minor details' while
the bigger picture is assembled. It will be open for all input and
refinements later.
- Kugelfang visited the issue of the contents of /usr/libexec. Diego and
Vapier had raised it previously, and Kugelfang is working on the document,
in a style similar to FHS.
- Kugelfang wanted to know about the process for council members stepping
down. This was prompted by solely by Flameeye's message to the council
channel earlier in the day, which implied he was retiring. The point was
made moot by Flameeye's later blog post that he was going to take a two week
break instead.
- On the procedural side, both Kugelfang and KingTaco wanted to know what the
what the process for a retiring council member was. Should it be the next
person on the original ballot results, or should a further election be held?
The spirit of the council GLEP was a further election, but some questions
were had in this. The issue needs to be raised on the -dev mailing list, and
revisited during the next council meeting.
- Robbat2 reported on the successful bugzilla migration, and the work for the
new CVS server. The Bugzilla news was well recieved.
- Robbat2 brought up the status of the SPF documentation. Kloeri said that he
has them in a nearly finished state, but hasn't had a chance lately to
complete them. Kloeri will other complete them shortly, or upload the drafts
to the bug in the meantime.
- Robbat2 requested that for helping to get an agenda together in future, all
council members should just braindump their potential minor items to the
council mailing list a few days ahead of each meeting. Large issues should
still be raised on -dev/-core as needed, but the smaller stuff like
followups can just be braindumped. Robbat2 promised to rig an automated
reminder to the council members.
- A last call for vapier was made, and since he didn't show, he got his
slacker mark for this meeting.
- Wolf31o2 inquired as to the status of the Reply-To documentation (bug
154595). As there was absolutely no progress, Wolf31o2 was going to just
write it up and convert it to GuideXML.
- Wolf31o2 proposed the concept of council-managed projects. These are to be
Gentoo-specific projects where the council takes the initiative of defining
creating software specifications and requirements, recruits people to
work on them (not nessicarily developers), and helps manage the project
(leaving people to actually work on it). Some past almost precedents were
noted and the council was in favour of the general concept. Wolf31o2 was
going to seek out some initial proposals for small projects to test the
concept on.
The floor was opened at this point.
- KingTaco jokingly asked if the Gentoo Foundation could afford to buy
Sealand, which lead into real queries about the current financial reports.
Wolf31o2 located a November 2006 posting in the NFP archives and provided a
link to it.
