Meeting agenda: * Roll call (5 minutes; anyone later will be given a slacker mark) * Required advance notice for council meetings (10 minutes) - Vote: 7 days vs 2 days - If 7 days notice is required: Vote: can the agenda be sent with only 2-day notice? * ChangeLog autogeneration [2] (10 minutes) - Previous council already voted for autogeneration (20110608) - Vote: Choose between 2 proposals, to be developed over the next few days. The key difference is whether commits can be filtered. - Proposal 1: Include all commits, don't retroactively change existing ChangeLog messages - Proposal 2: Filter commits with specific tags, otherwise same as proposal 1 * IRC cloaks: gentoo/user/cloaks [3] (5 minutes) - Vote: Should we delegate this to devrel and userrel to work out? - If not, then interested people should write a more detailed proposal to vote upon in the next meeting * Use of gentoo-council mailing list [4] (5 minutes) - Vote: Should the -council mailing list again be used for discussion of council agenda items? * Chair rotation (5 minutes) - Proposed schedule at http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/meeting_chairs.txt - Any problems? - If multiple meetings occur in a month, that month's chair will run them. * open bugs with council involvement * open floor - listen to the community Items proposed but not on the agenda: * Optional runtime dependencies [5] - What is the decision to be made? If none, it's not on the agenda * Council terms: overlapping 2-year terms [6] - Requires a full developer vote on changes to GLEP 39 so council approval is not relevant If you have anything you'd like to push to the council for discussion, feel free to reply to this thread.
