Hi all!
Remember my mail titled "Do you want to be part of the EPEL steering committee?" from yesterday? https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00177.html
Smooge (Stephen John Smoogen) self-nominated for the job and in todays meeting was accepted as member for the EPEL Steering Committee. Congrats Smooge, I'm sure you'll do a good job.
He sort of fills the vacant seat the EPEL Steering Committee. As I mentioned in my earlier mail, another member wants to leave sooner or later. I meant myself with that -- I'm doing the EPEL chairmen job for about one year now (and was FESCo chairmen before that for round about a year as well). It was fun most of the time, but it's time for me to move on and time for fresh blood, new ideas and new people in EPELs lead. I also would like to get a bit more free time to finally get RPM Fusion started (including repos with Fedora-unwanted stuff built for EL + EPEL; if you want to help with that let me know!).
IOW: (1) we need a new chairmen and (2) a ideally another member for the EPEL Steering Commitee. In todays meeting nirik and smooge volunteered for the chairmens job. If anyone else is interested speak up; the new chairmen will be elected in the next meeting (20080213 at 18:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting). And also don't be shy if you want to become a member for the EPEL Steering Commitee; just speak up and self-nominate if you are interested in EPEL and want to help get it to the next level! If you can't make the meetings on Wednesdays at 18:00 UTC -- no problem, we can try to find another date and time (and we do most of the work on the list in any case).

That also means that I'd like to get rid of some of my duties sooner or later. Here is a rough list of tasks I do / did (I suppose I'll miss a lot, but time will tell):
- maintain the wishlist -- mail fedora owners when new stuff gets added, remove stuff that got added to the repos
- writing the reports once a weeks (which includes the meeting summaries; see below)
- keeping the wiki update and in a good shape (best to subscribe to all EPEL pages and look at all commits)
- make the list works; e.g. make sure that problems get solved, questions answered; most of the time that will work automatically, but sometimes mail from fresh contributers don't get answered and then I took care of it
I'll continue to do some of the tasks for now if time permits, but if anybody is interested to take over a task let me know. I'd especially like to get rid of the wishlist job and the reports. Any volunteers?
I also maintained the Schedule in the wiki, send the list of topics to the list before the meeting and wrote the meeting summaries. I suppose the new chairmen has to take over these tasks or find somebody to help him with them.
