== Meeting summary ==

 * Present: Laney (chair), bdrung, micahg, stgraber, tumbleweed.

 * Review of previous action items
  * micahg to ping all packageset teams to get a description we can use for future changes
    * done, to review at next meeting

 * Package set application: desktop-extra
   (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/devel-permissions/2011-December/000315.html)
   * Approved, see votes below. Action for stgraber to create desktop-extra set 

 * Ubuntu Core Developer reapplication for Daniel T Chen
   * No vote deemed necessary. Daniel was duly reactivated. Members wondered
     why they had not received email about the expiration — Laney to raise with
     Launchpad. 

 * AOB
  * tumbleweed raised the medium-term elections that the DMB needs to hold,
    agreed to discuss at the next meeting.
  * bdrung raised the fact that we have many different term expirations, some
    quite close to others. It would be nice to adjust as appropriate so that
    restaffing is easier. Action for bdrung to talk to the TB about harmonising
    DMB members' expiration dates for easier restaffing 

 * chair for next meeting
   * still cody-somerville, with micahg as fallback.

Meeting ended at 14:48:51 UTC
