There was enough said about them, so we'll leave them for next year. * Council web app Petteri asked for this topic to be added to the meeting right before it start as a student submitted an application for GSoC for doing a council application[1]. As Petteri presented it, the application would provide at least the following 3 features: 1) doodle like feature or doodle integration for setting times 2) irc bot for automatic log handling (integrate with some existing software) 3) handling agendas. Other members noted that if it could also deal with voting, that would be great. There was some discussion about technical details but the council decided to focus on whether the project was desired and leave the discussion about details for later. The council members didn't object to the idea and are open to see what will come out of that project. Petteri will mentor the student for the project and Brian will watch over it.
