4. Item 1: Items that require attention (jsmith, 15:24:01)
   1. coreutils, findutils, gettext are critical (jsmith, 15:24:16)
   2. gcc useful, but not absolutely necessary at this point (jsmith, 15:24:24)
   
   
5. Item 2: Acceptable criteria (jsmith, 15:24:40)
   1. What are we targeting at this point? (jsmith, 15:24:48)
   2. gcc + coreutils + findutils + gettext are blocking pbrobinson from concentrating on rawhide (jsmith, 15:25:41)
   3. ACTION: pbrobinson to email the list with his rawhide plans (jsmith, 15:26:21)
   4. ACTION: plan is to build enough for "an Xfce desktop" and release that for F15 (jonmasters, 15:29:32)
   5. we need some sort of criteria for users until we have f17 out (jsmith, 15:34:00)
   6. raspberry pi will be shipping, and users will be encouraged to use Fedora as the base of that system (jsmith, 15:34:28)
   7. so minimal install set + XFCE is our target (jsmith, 15:34:45)
   8. ACTION: pbrobinson will for demo purposes at least build the sugar desktop too for the XO (jsmith, 15:35:58)
   
   
6. Item 3: Rawhide! (jsmith, 15:36:14)
   1. pbrobinson had to leave the meeting -- fire alarm (jsmith, 15:36:28)
   2. pbrobinson to build the buildroot in the order he determined for f14, to minimize unneeded rebuilds (jsmith, 15:41:30)
   3. pbrobinson to then kick off shadow times 1000 (jsmith, 15:41:57)
   4. After that, it won't take that much to get building rawhide doing mass building (jsmith, 15:42:17)
   5. F17 branch from rawhide happens February 7th (jsmith, 15:44:23)
