= Deadline to drop kmods =
      * FESCo approved a proposal to drop kmods immediately in Rawhide,
        since they will not be allowed in F9. Packages that depend on

        modules will get beaten into a shape, and included in upstream
        or Fedora kernels by F9 time.

              * Abstain: spot 

= PPC in F9+ =
      * FESCo approved a proposal for the build system bits to remain
        the same, but the QA & Release Engineering processed will be
        done by the PPC team. 
        
      * Votes 
              * For: dgilmore, c4chris, bpepple, jeremy, tibbs, nirik,

        dropped from Rawhide. warren will get a list of orphaned
        packages, and FESCo will vote on this next week. 

= Using mdomsch's rebuild scripts to find AWOL contributors =
      * Long discussion on possible solutions on finding AWOL
        contributors. For more details, please refer to the IRC log.
