here is a summary of this month's meeting.  people seem to think that the CoC 
is set in stone now when in reality it is not ... feel free to hilite 
anything you feel wasnt addressed in the previous discussion or anything new 
you've thought of (i went through the previous threads and tried to distill 
out things that were missed, but i cant catch it all).

CoC:
	- amne has been doing a good job putting the group together
	- ask proctors to address these two issues for next meeting:
		- add a "mission" statement
		- fix wording to have a positive spin
sync Social Contract with Gentoo Foundation (external entities):
	- trustees will review the statement to clarify things and then
	  we'll look again at syncing
documentation for mail servers:
	- they are supposed to be finished in terms of content
	- wolf will look at getting them actually committed
PMS:
	- current status looks good in getting issues resolved
	- should be up and running on Gentoo infra by next meeting
	- let the devs sort out the todo as the current work flow seems
	  to be getting things done finally
splitting gentoo-dev mailing lists:
	- no real favorable backing for this
	- people dont like -dev because of the crap, splitting the lists
	  will just move the crap else where, not really solving anything
	- let proctors do their thing and if need be, review this again
limiting of council powers:
	- doesnt seem to be real backing for this from dev community or
	  the council itself
	- if a majority of developers are truly upset/disturbed by a
	  council decision, it should show easily
	- if you dont like a council member, dont vote for them next time
moving gentoo-core to public archives:
	- many people dislike this moving forward
	- use -dev over -core for most things
	- not going to happen at this time
	- look into getting a dev-only archive finally
surveys:
	- robbat2 will look at getting user/dev surveys in place after the
	  release of 2007.0
	- probably try and take fresh surveys after each bi-annual release
	  from now on to see if we're meeting many of users' desires
new metastructure proposal:
	- doesnt seem to address any of the problems it proposes to
	- a large majority of developers and users prefer the single tree
	  development style that Gentoo has versus many smaller trees
