I apologize for this being late, a casualty of my travel schedule the last few days. = = = = = Summary from IRC meeting: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Meetings/2009-05-05 * Export restrictions and [[FreeMedia]] project ** Board members explained that Fedora cannot violate US export restrictions ** No wiggle room but the Board is not happy with the state of export regulations as they pertain to FLOSS ** Board may investigate options for pursuing reform * PPC as a primary or secondary architecture ** PPC has heretofore remained primary because the Board made a decree that it would stay that way until there was some other successful, actively maintained secondary architecture *** That has not happened and PPC continues to have significant problems on a recurring basis *** Some Board members feel that Red Hat might devote additional release engineering resources if PPC became a secondary architecture *** Others feel that because there was no deadline set, moving PPC to a secondary architecture is somewhat bait and switch ** Board voted on mdomsch's motion to remove its block on PPC remaining a primary architecture -- not making it a secondary architecture, a decision that is under FESCo's purview *** Eight +1, one -1 (spot) ** Board voted against spot's motion creating a new block requiring PPC to remain a primary architecture for six months *** Six -1, three +1 (spot, notting, glezos) * No questions were left in the queue for the Board ** Board encourages people to direct follow-up to the open fedora-advisory-board list at *https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board -- Paul W.
