Agenda call: 

Agenda announcement:


\agendaitem{Required advance notice for council meetings}
\index{council!meeting!process}

\vote{7 days vs 2 days}{Result: 1-week notice is required}

\vote{If 7 days notice is required: can the agenda be sent with only 2-day 
notice?}{Draft agendas should also be sent 1 week in advance}


\agendaitem{ChangeLog autogeneration}
\index{ChangeLog!autogeneration}\index{ChangeLog}

Reference: \agoref{gentoo-project}{3675d8a397ee2b5b3088df42e3352b6f}

Previous council already voted for autogeneration (20110608)

\vote{Should we allow filtering of which commits show up?}{No filtering, on a 
4-3 vote}

\vote{Retroactively change existing entries, yes or no.}{We will append to 
changelogs and retain all existing changelog messages.}

We may need to return to this when the git migration is ready. 
       Current changelog messages will be old by then, so they won't be 
       as interesting anymore, and people should have adjusted.

Do we need a way to edit autogenerated changelogs to fix typos, 
     etc? Should there be a backing store to overwrite messages? 
     jmbsvicetto will reopen discussion about this.


\agendaitem{IRC cloaks: gentoo/user/cloaks}
\index{irc!cloaks!gentoo/user}

Reference: \agoref{gentoo-project}{5471f2db793e7fe9f50038fb23258c66}

\vote{Should we delegate this to devrel and userrel to work out?}{No decision 
was reached. Opinions were mixed on whether 
     council should be involved, whether it fell under devrel or 
     whether Freenode group contacts were even connected to devrel.
     Further discussion on lists might help clarify how things should work.}

     
\agendaitem{Use of the gentoo-council mailing list}
\index{mailing list!gentoo-council}

Reference: \agoref{gentoo-council}{6cad9409772fa44415e84005ff922145}

\vote{Should the -council mailing list again be used for discussion 
     of council agenda items?}{No. -dev, -project, and the council alias is 
enough.}

Update the -council list bug to indicate that the list should be closed.
