=== Summary ===
FESCo/Core Cabal Merge

Merge Proposal
      * FESCo approved thl's proposal to handle the migration to FESCo's
        successor. This proposal will be sent now to FAB to get an ACK.
        Some of the items in the proposal: 
        
             1. FESCo adds notting & Jesse Keating (f13) to the current
                FESCo group to comprise the successor committee to
                FESCo. 
             2. Tentatively the plans are to have elections for this new
                committee six weeks after the release of Fedora 7. 
             3. Link to thl's full proposal:

Misc Merge Items
      * thl is going to send an e-mail to the fedora-extras-list and
        fedora-devel-list to find a good name for the successor to
        FESCo. The goal here is to have a name picked out by next weeks
        FESCo meeting. 
      * notting brought up the idea of importing
        revision-control-with-history instead of srpms when the Core
        packages are merged with the Extras packages.
      * It was brought up that the Conflicts use in spec files issue
        should be resolved before the Core packages are mass-reviewed.
        Spot stated that they are working to complete that soon in the
        Packaging Commitee.
        
Misc
      * With the merger of Core and Extras happening soon, it makes
        sense to have the FESCo meeting in a different IRC channel,
        since eventually the #fedora-extras channel will be fazed out.
        The plan is beginning with the 2007-01-25 meeting, to have
        meeting in the #fedora-devel channel.
