+this months meeting wasnt too eventful, kind of quiet ... on the agenda:
+
+- Marius: decision on multi-hash for Manifest1
+there was a bit of hearsay about why the council was asked to review/decide 
+on this issue since we werent able to locate any portage devs at the time of 
+the meeting ... so our decision comes with a slight caveat.  assuming the 
+reasons our input was asked for was summarized in the e-mail originally sent 
+by Marius [1], then we're for what we dubbed option (2.5.1).  that is, the 
+portage team should go ahead with portage 2.0.54 and include support for 
+SHA256/RMD160 hashes on top of MD5 hashes.  SHA1 should not be included as 
+having both SHA256/SHA1 is pointless.  further more, we hope this is just a 
+hold over until Manifest2 is ironed out/approved/implemented/deployed.  it 
+was also noted that we should probably omit ChangeLog and metadata.xml files 
+from the current Manifest schema as digesting them serves no real purpose.

+- Council: portage signing
+shortly after our November meeting, a nice summary was posted by Robin 
+Johnson that covered signing issues from top to bottom.  as such, it was felt 
+that trying to throw together a GLEP would not be beneficial.  instead we 
+will be adding a constant agenda item to future council meetings as to the 
+status of portage signing issues to keep the project from slipping into 
+obscurity again.
