== Summary ==
=== Features ===
* FESCo pushed the EFI(1) feature to F11, since it wasn't complete by
the devel freeze. 
* FESCo approved Java Liveconnect(2) as a feature for F10, even though
it was submitted late.  They felt this feature warranted giving an
exception to, since it's a feature that was created by in-house at
Fedora, and there was no open source solution that provided Liveconnect
support. NOTE: In the interest of being fair, FESCo will look at giving
the features that were dropped due to not meeting the feature freeze
deadline the same exception, providing they were completed by the devel
freeze.

=== Elections ===
* Briefly discussed the dates (Dec. 7 - Dec 20) for the upcoming FESCo
election.

=== Comps ===
* FESCo brain-stormed for a bit on ways to improve comps.  Some of the
ideas were:
      * Having a Grand Arbitrator of Comps (notting's name was thrown as
        a possible candidate)
      * Use pkgdb to manage comps
      * Making comps a MUST item in the package review.
* In the interim, notting will update the comps wiki page to better
clarify what should be included in comps, and FESCo will discuss some
more whether to make comps a MUST item in the review process.
