Summary of Gentoo council meeting 13 November 2016

Agenda
======
1. Roll call
2. Stabilisation workflow [1]
3. Status of contributors (nominate Foundation liaison) [2]
4. Copyright matters [3]
5. Open bugs with council involvement
6. Open floor


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

Stabilisation workflow
======================
Discussion in the stabilisation working group is in progress, see
the status report sent to the gentoo-project mailing list by K_F [4].
An update to GLEP 40 and a change of the bugzilla workflow are likely
to be proposed. No council action to be taken, for the time being.

Status of contributors
======================
Prometheanfire suggested to start preliminary work on a reorganisation
of Gentoo, including preparation of GLEP and bylaw proposals. In the
discussion that followed it was asked if there is any problem that
needs solving. The option of associating with an umbrella organisation
(like SPI) was mentioned. No motion was voted upon, and the topic was
tabled for a later meeting.

Copyright matters
=================
There is agreement that copyright issues are a task for the
foundation, therefore the council will not take any action.

Open bugs with council involvement
==================================
- Bug 571490 "Missing summary for 20151025 council meeting",
  bug 596678 "Missing log and summary for council meeting 2016-09-11":
  dilfridge, blueness, and jlec are asked to complete the summaries
  for the 2015-10-25, 2016-06-12, and 2016-09-11 meetings.

- Bug 566498 "games.eclass: use of games group needs to be removed wrt
             20151011 Council meeting",
  bug 574080 "games.eclass: Path customization needs to be removed wrt
             20151213 Council meeting",
  bug 574082 "[Tracker] games.eclass deprecation",
  bug 574952 "Extremely uncooperative behavior from games team":
  Currently no council action required, therefore the council can be
  removed from CC of all four bugs.

- Bug 579460 "please make repoman ignore a missing "# $Id$" header line":
  Implemented in repoman-2.3.0, but not yet in stable. Once this is
  done, CVS headers can be removed as per 2014-10-14 council decision.

- Bug 565566 "New ChangeLogs are in chronological order":
  Action: K_F will ask infra for a status update.
  Note added in proof: According to robbat2, ChangeLogs in the main
  tree will be discontinued after 2016-11-15, as announced in [5].
  Ordering of entries will be reversed thereafter.

Open floor
==========
- Dropping of stable keywords for additional architectures:
  This should be proposed as a regular agenda item for a later
  meeting, or alternatively be discussed in the stable working group.

- FOSDEM 2017 stand acceptance is to be announced tomorrow.
