3. hosting our own popularity-contest server
4. Install CD: multi-profile or otherwise?

6. how is the meeting time/date (tuesdays, 7pm, -0700) for active participants?
7. packaging & repository
   1. Vagrant's packaging class in PDX in Nov ? - Who will attend, or help plan?
   2. "mini-dinstall would be most useful for developers making experimental releases and cvs builds, reprepro would be best for standard archive format for our released packages, and our hand-rolled one could be as good as reprepro, but more flexible ... but it would require writing it."
