*** Gomix working on new docs in not english as first language, 
 just as a reminder on procedures for such kind of documents (as SMG).

** Rex
*** Try to sponsor over the next release cycle sponsor/mentor 
 3 new contributors
*** Small goal due to time contraint with aim for quality 
 new contributors

Christoph to go with FAmSCo

** Toshio added a section on 
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/sopa-post-mortem
** He's busy until March 15th, will fill it in then or 
 someone else can work on it first

* Ticket #133 - Fedora LTS and rolling release
** sounds like a question whether Red Hat would be interested to 
 help with?
** LTS for Fedora versions that will become RHEL later (but not 
 overlapping with RHEL?)
** What is the question to put to Red Hat?
** What would Red Hat be willing to provide towards implementing 
 a Fedora LTS?
*** More hardware to Fedora for hosting packages, building, etc?
*** More infrastructure system admins to maintain the hardware?
*** Pay engineers to work on their packages throughout the 
 lifecycle of the LTS?
