Summary of Gentoo council meeting 13 September 2015

Roll call
=========
Present: 
blueness, dilfridge, jlec, k_f, rich0, ulm, williamh

1. Use flag policies
====================
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/4775
https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Toolkit_USE_Flags&oldid=362768

On the topic of how to structure toolkit use flags, a lengthy 
discussion with opposing viewpoints resulted. Consensus was that 
manual intervention needed by REQUIRED_USE should be kept to a minimum, 
and that users should not need to perform per-package useflag 
micromanagement. 

For approaching the problem systematically it was felt that we need 
more information on the current in-tree use cases of the flags and 
the objectives that we're actually trying to achieve by setting a policy. 
dilfridge volunteered to collect use cases for toolkit use flags, 
rich0 to formulate the objectives. Future discussion will focus on the
suitability of the different approaches.

2. Projects without a lead, lead elections
==========================================

The wording of GLEP 39 was found to be unclear if not confusing (it
states that a project "may have one or many leads", and that their
selection "must occur at least once every 12 months").

After discussion the following points were agreed upon:
* The Gentoo Wiki project page template should be enhanced to show the
  last lead election date for each project.
* The council sends an e-mail to the gentoo-project mailing list asking 
  projects to consider electing a lead and confirming her/him regularly.

3. Bugs with council involvment
===============================

Bug 503382: "Missing summaries for 20131210, 20140114, and 20140225 council 
  meetings"
  Ulm started working on the 20131210 summary. No news otherwise.

4. Open floor
=============

No topics were brought up.
