Paul Frields, Rex Dieter, Matt Domsch, Max Spevack, Greg DeKoenigsberg, Chris Blizzard, Bill
Nottingham, Jeremy Katz, Spot Calloway, John Poelstra, and Karsten Wade.

== Discussion of Secondary Arches ==
 * Blizzard proposed ARM as a secondary Fedora architecture
   * Community run under FESCo following the same processes as other secondary arches
 * Additional discussion around whether PPC should remain a primary architecture
 * It is valuable to Fedora as a whole to have both big and small endian architectures in active
use and testing.

Decisions:
 * PPC will remain a primary architecture until:
  1. secondary arch process is finalized
  1. there are no other secondary architectures
 * Board approves and welcomes ARM as a secondary architecture

== FUDCon F8 ==
 * Location with will be Raleigh, North Carolina
 * Discussed pros and cons of two different dates: August 3rd to 5th or August 17th to 19th

Decision: Max will check on location for both dates by June 15th.  This may help to determine which
date it actually happens on.  Presently leaning towards August 3rd to 5th, *but no decision has
been made*.

== Fedora Advisory Board Membership ==
 * Election nomination announcement posted by Max to fill three community seats

== Documentation Update ==
 * Update from Karsten Wade
 * Migration is under way from elvis.redhat.com (Red Hat's internal CVS for translation work) to
Fedora CVS.  
   * Jeremy and Bill assisting
   * Have ticket open with Red Hat engineering services to make sure process does not interrupt Red
Hat's translation processes.
