\agendaitem{Open floor to council members to introduce themselves}

See the full log for the detailed statements.

\agendaitem{General discussion on the introduction of a "Bikeshed of the month"}

The idea is to pick topics where a decision clearly makes sense, but people 
could not agree during bikeshedding, put them on the agenda and try to settle 
things. General agreement was that this does not need to be formalized but can 
be handled via established Council procedures. 

\agendaitem{Open bugs with council involvement}

Currently only \bug{477030}: We agree to kick Betelgeuse to complete the 
missing meeting summary whenever we see him. 

\agendaitem{Open Floor}

williamh asks how having bugzilla involved in Council matters (see point 5) 
changes how to bring an issue to Council's attention. After some discussion, 
the following is brought up for vote:

\vote{For adding an item to the agenda of the next council meeting, please 1)
assign a bug to council and 2) link to it in a post on -project; the discussion
should take place on -project}{
A decision was postponed, also for discussion on the mailing lists.}
