+I'd like to add another thing to the meeting topics:
+The discussion about non-free / tainted, which lasted really long,
+but AFAICS there is no concensus or decision, and the discussion
+has effectively reached a standstill. My tries to get this going again have not 
+succeeded so far.
+
+For reference, have a look at those:

+
+
+For some people the situation seems really clear, also to me,
+this viewpoint is what tmb expressed in his mail:
+https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2011-July/006560.html
+
+
+But in the end we need a definitive decision.
