FWIW, the log entry at the URL above is still yielding a 404. <poke>
Yes, I know "shortly" is relative, but in the absolute, it /has/ been a
day and a half. =8^/

Meanwhile, I'd like to take the opportunity while I have it to thank the
council members. Multiple hour meetings each month, you guys are
certainly taking your responsibilities seriously, and there's another one
this month due to unfinished business after the 2 and a half that you
met. Apart from the time, some of the decisions are anything but easy.
It's not something everyone's cut out for, definitely. I expect I'm
talking for many when I say thanks, and that I'm glad someone's willing
to make the sacrifice and take the emotional and stress toll it extracts
to step up and make those decisions, even if I don't personally agree
with the decisions made at times.

Actually, that's why I like the logs. It surprises me how often after
reading the logs I find I agree where I didn't before, and where I don't,
I at least understand why... Thus my frustration at not being able to
peruse the latest one as yet. <yeah, I guess that's another poke> =8^]

Only 2 council members showed up: amne and me. There's some discussion
over whether GLEP 39 requires that we reelect a new council because of
this, and what to do now. It's happening over on the gentoo-project
mailing list. Subscribe there to join in by sending an email to
gentoo-project+subscribe@gentoo.org.

Feel free to catch up on the discussion so far, which started at
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-project/msg_0b435377d3b7a23a0729f23a17701c1f.xml

Please head over to the gentoo-project list if you have something to
say, instead of responding to this email. This kind of topic is exactly
why we split it off from -dev.

Thanks,
Donnie
