+Summary of the Gentoo Council meeting 10 January 2016
+
+Roll call
+=================
+Present:
+blueness, dilfridge, jlec, k_f, rich0, ulm, williamh
+
+
+1. Further discussion on GLEP 67
+=================
+https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GLEP:67
+https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:MGorny/GLEP:67
+https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-project/message/637270936c9f07e3bd2f10ee45264a42
+
+Michał Górny reported on the progress regarding GLEP 67. He has cleaned the 
+spec to make it more informative and updated the reference implementation 
+section for the most common software in use.
+
+Nearly all herds have been merged into existing or new projects, or have been
+abandoned. 
+
+Automated generation of projects.xml is already active on Gentoo Infrastructure.
+
+A short discussion about the mapping between projects and subprojects has 
+happened. It has been agreed on not definitely specifying the mapping being 1:n
+or m:n in the GLEP right now. 
+The general consensus was that m:n mapping resembles the reality best and 
+missing support of that map style in tools like mediawiki is not sufficient 
+to nail the connectivity to 1:n.
+
+The Council approved GLEP 67 with wording from https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:M
+Gorny/GLEP:67 as of 08:14, 10 January 2016 unanimously.
+
+The Council voted on the final deadline for the herds -> project migration
+to be the 24th January 2016. All remaining herds will be dropped after that and
+the remaining packages will be assigned to maintainer-needed. The vote passed 
+unanimously.
+
+
+2. Banning of EAPI 0 & 3 for new ebuilds
+=================
+https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-project/message/bc0a1b7498c389bdbb0b0d52feb43391
+https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/6904e810caedf66d889458e6fd1cc552
+
+The Council voted on banning EAPI 0 & 3 for new ebuilds and EAPI updates
+in existing ebuilds. After some discussion an exception was made allowing
+the security team and only the security team to do minor patching using 
+those EAPI levels. The decision was made unanimously.
+
+Further the Council decided unanimously to amend the ban of EAPI
+1 & 2 made in the Council meeting 2014-03-11. To this effect, the
+exception of updating EAPI=0 ebuilds to EAPI=1 is dropped.
+
+
+3. Bugs with Council participation
+=================
+The Council briefly discussed bug 503382 again: "Missing summaries for 
+20131210, 20140114, and 20140225 Council meetings". Ulm had written the
+final missing summary. The bug is fixed now.
+
+The Council briefly discussed bug 569914 & 571490: Missing meeting logs
+for 20151025 and 20140225. Dilfridge is working on them.
+
+The Council voted on the NEWS item format 1.1, bug 568068. Format 1.1 allows
+EAPI=5 style package dependency specification. Rich0 questioned the amount
+of discussion with the community, but the general consensus was that the
+public transparency for the size of the change has been enough. The Council 
+unanimously approved the new format.
+
+
+4. Open floor
+=================
+A short information exchange about the presence of Gentoo Linux at the 2016 
+FOSDEM has happened but further discussion has been moved to #gentoo-fosdem 
+@ freenode.
