Roll call
=========

7 attendees: dilfridge, K_F, leio, slyfox (16 min late), ulm, Whissi, WilliamH

Discussing the addition of an AUTHORS file to the main Gentoo package repository
================================================================================

Discussion points included the merits of opt-in vs automatic generation of
entries to an AUTHORS file, e-mail address inclusion or not, and more. Initial
drafts of the file explanations were worked on as well, but no final decisions
were made in lack of a timely complete proposal (this was handled soon after in
bug 672962[1]).


13.0 profile removal
====================

Some architectures still do not have 17.0 profiles to upgrade to, thus complete
removal at this point was found to be unsuitable. Topic to be followed up in
mailing lists.

Update of GLEP 14
=================

Security project has published the GLEP update draft to the mailing list for
public discussion, but not finished yet.

Open bugs with council involvement
==================================

- bug #637328: GLEP 14 needs to be updated

  See above

- bug #642072: [Tracker] Copyright policy

  FYI. A tracker with work to do.

- bug #670702: sys-apps/util-linux-2.33: Header does not comply with GLEP 76

  Concerns were raised that it still doesn't adhere to the GLEP, with points
  raised about the wording of the GLEP. A follow-up bug[2] was created to
  track resolving this.

Open floor
==========

- Discussion about disproportionate time being spent on copyright-related
  topics.
- Gentoo has exceeded the 1 million commit mark in gentoo.git (including the
  historical repo).
