Fri Dec 17 13:51:02 CET 2010

Hi there
+
+First packagers meeting happened on last wednesday
+(http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-dev/2010/mageia-dev.2010-12-15-19.30.html
+logs). Here are the big lines:
+
+- Attendees: we were about 25. In order to inform all people
+registered on wiki, a mail will be sent to all list so that they can
+be aware of all this. So you may receive it even if you were in
+meeting.
+- Registration: you can now find a more complete registration table if
+you wish to contribute as packagers in Mageia. For those already
+registered please complete missing items so that we can organize as
+well as possible coming work. See
+http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packaging#list_of_registered_people
+- Internal organization: packagers meeting will happen every wednesday
+at 20h UTC on #mageia-dev, it should be rather short (about 1/2h, not
+more than 1h). Topics will have to be defined the day before the
+latest. A longer meeting will be organized on first wednesday of each
+month, dedicated to more strategic decisions. mageia-dev mailing-list
+is the official one for packagers so we try to forward any general
+topics to mageia-discuss mailing-list. See
+http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packaging#mailing-lists.
+- Packagers representatives: we will have to vote for 2
+representatives for packagers. This will be done on a separate ML
+thread.
+- Becoming Mageia packager: people having Mandriva packager account
+will get Mageia packager account as soon as build system is ready. Non
+Mandriva packagers but having experience with RPM will be mentored as
+a priority sot that they get their own account as soon as possible and
+start mentoring also if they are ok. Beginners are welcome and can
+already start to get familiar with RPM packaging, ask for help on
+mailing-list or on IRC.
+- Mentoring process: if you are interested in working on it, you can
+join here (http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packaging#writing_mentoring_process)
+to help on writing Mageia mentoring process. Main goal is to make life
+easier and formalize process to become Mageia official packager.
+- Mageia packaging policies: we will start with Mandriva Linux
+policies, no need to reinvent wheel. But we will take also this
+opportunity to check existing one, clean it and maybe complete it or
+add new one. See Shikamaru post about this
+(https://mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20101216/001742.html).
+Contributers welcome !
+
+Cheers
