== Discussion of Secondary Arches ==
 * Blizzard proposed ARM as a secondary Fedora architecture
   * Community run under FESCo following the same processes as other secondary arches
 * Additional discussion around whether PPC should remain a primary architecture
 * It is valuable to Fedora as a whole to have both big and small endian architectures in active use and testing.

Decisions:

  1. secondary arch process is finalized
  1. there are no other secondary architectures
 * Board approves and welcomes ARM as a secondary architecture

 * Discussed pros and cons of two different dates: August 3rd to 5th or August 17th to 19th
