30 If the other overlay people feel that they need to be represented, I
31 will hold a 2nd meeting to address their specific issues. Assuming that
32 a significant amount of overlay "managers" want, I will hold this
33 meeting at Sunday 1800 UTC in #gentoo-devrel on freenode. Please post
34 your specific problems on this (sub) thread by Saturday 1800 UTC so I at
35 least have 24 hours to understand and ask questions before the meeting.
