This is a simple summary of the recent Gentoo Council meeting from |
| 2 |
September 14th, 2006. |

Present council members: flameeyes, kingtaco, kugelfang, kloeri, |

robbat2, wolf31o2, vapier (late) |

First, we voted if we should allow "impromptu" meetings, outside of the |
| 8 |
monthly schedule. This passed with 6/7 votes, with vapier abstaining |
| 9 |
due to tardiness. The consensus on the meetings is as follows: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
We will allow meetings outside of the schedule on time sensitive issues. |
| 12 |
The meeting needs more than 5 council members, and it should be done |
| 13 |
with no less than 3 days notice, unless the council unanimously decides |
| 14 |
to hold it sooner. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Next were concerns brought about from the QA team. We decided (6/7, |
| 17 |
vapier abstaining) that the QA team should work with other concerned |
| 18 |
parties to determine the requirements for moving the devmanual SVN to |
| 19 |
Gentoo infrastructure, since it is considered an official Gentoo |
| 20 |
product, before any further decision on it can be made. It was also |
| 21 |
decided that the QA team should work on their own policies, with input |
| 22 |
from other teams, for approval by the council. The council volunteered |
| 23 |
to assist in coordination, if necessary. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Next, we decided to push the monthly meetings to 2000UTC on the second |
| 26 |
Thursday of the month to better suit the new council's availability. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
During the open floor, we decided that there was no need to mention |
| 29 |
conflicts for most council members, as we should all be adults and |
| 30 |
capable of making unbiased decisions. The exception to this (being |
| 31 |
adults... just kidding...) was kloeri in response to escalations from |
| 32 |
devrel, as he is the lead there. This also lead to roll-call being |
| 33 |
updated to show everyone's current roles, so transparency is maintained. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
After some minor discussion about USians not knowing their own country |
| 36 |
code (*grin*) we adjourned. |
