EAPI=0
------
Last month:
Halcy0n was working on it
Updates:
Ciaran has been contributing and has committed quite a few
things. Halcy0n hopes to work on it in the next couple of
weeks.
He informed us that Ciaran said when he finishes the
environment
tables, EAPI=0 is probably a week of solid work from having a
draft for review.
Halcy0n wasn't around when the topic came up, so the above info
was from after the meeting.
New topics
==========
Summer of Code
--------------
Should Gentoo devs be allowed to participate?
GNOME's policy is that they favor people who haven't contributed
before, but they will accept great projects from contributors.
Decision: Council members will become additional SoC admins, and
will serve as tiebreaker votes if they aren't actively participating
in SoC project selection.
Decision: Gentoo SoC admins will decide whether non-contributors
should be favored over contributors.
Package maintainers
-------------------
Proposed by killerx (anant)
Decision: We'll promote proxy-maintainers more -- GMN, website, etc.
amd64 arch team and big bug list
--------------------------------
Proposed by armin76 (raul)
kingtaco (mike) said it's hard to keep people interested in
keywording.
Anyone interested has had permission to keyword and stabilize
non-system packages since 2007.1 (see -core email from kingtaco with
subject "AMD64 keywording").
Open floor
----------
A list of required attendees would be useful. dberkholz will start
creating the agenda along with this list in advance of the meeting.
Posting the agenda on a google calendar, along with other stuff,
could help. flameeyes is starting to work with the PR team on this.
