Summary
EPEL Update
      * Still waiting on RedHat IT. Most of the necessary people will be
        at FUDCon, and the plan is to have a session regarding EPEL at
        the HackFest. 
        
Opening Core
      * Warren discussed the basic plan on how the review of the Core
        packages will proceed. He is going to work out the final details
        before FUDCon. 
        
Encourage co-maintainership
      * thl sent an e-mail to the mailing lists with his proposal for
        co-maintainership which generated quite a bit of discussion. He
        will incorporate suggestions from the mailing lists and the
        meeting into his proposal, and bring it back to FESCo. 
        
Syslog-ng Patent Problems
      * bpepple is going to check with Greg DeKoenigsberg and spot to
        verify that this is in legal's queue. 
        
Preparation for F7
      * nirik is going to poke some folks regarding broken deps. 
      * The current plan is not to do a mass-rebuild of packages since
        there aren't any toolchain reasons for it. 
        
Proposed ACL system
      * notting gave a brief description on how the ACL system will
        work: 
             A. there will be a file 'pkg.acl' that can be added either
                to the package toplevel or per-branch. It lists account
                names (one per line) that get access: 
                     1. no pkg.acl == wide open 
                     2. empty pkg.acl == 'owner' only 
                             I. 'owner' == owners.list +
                                owners.epel.list owner 
                            II. only the owner or the CVS admin can
                                add/modify the acl 
                           III. owners.list is going to be locked down. 
                     3. per-branch ACLs inherit from the toplevel ACL
                        for the package 
             B. e-mail notification: the package owner + anyone in the
                acl for the package will get e-mail notifications of all
                changes to said branch
      * For more details, please refer to the IRC log. 
        
Misc
      * There will be no FESCo meeting on 2007-02-01, since most of
        FESCo will be traveling to FUDCon that day. FESCo will have a
        meetup during FUDCon. 
      * People attending the HackFest at FUDCon, please look at
