- Flameeyes has retired from Gentoo so Uberlord was put into place in accordance with the GLEP changes from last month. - The Package Manager Spec (PMS) posted by spb looks like a good first draft. It will be opened up to the public before next council meeting and we'll review the status again at that time. - The current state of Gentoo's public communication was reviewed. The frequent fighting among people and irrelevant technical related public posts are disheartening. Devrel was charged with revamping our current nettiquette documents and policies for getting people to play nice in the cases where they refuse to and to report back the status next meeting. Council members also agreed to lead by example by taking g2boojum's example. - We've expanded the Council GLEP slightly: * Two Council members may (together) make executive decisions which carry the weight of the full Council. Upon making such a decision, the Gentoo Council mailing list must be notified. At the next meeting, it must also be noted. Any disagreement from the Gentoo community will be taken to the full Gentoo Council. - The tr1 issue will be resolved in the short term by new-style virtuals. As packages need them, they should create them. Long term, when a sane tr1 implementation arises (most likely from GCC itself), the virtuals will be reviewed and probably dissolved. - The topic of splitting the gentoo-dev mailing list up will be punted to the next month's meeting. - Gentoo branded hardware was discussed and many ideas thrown about. This also touched on the concept of "Enterprise Gentoo".
