+- 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".
