     • no new RFCs

3. AoB:

   • Olga asked about the RFC project deadilne and whether remaining RFCs are still needed. Olga suggested to involve more people who could help and work on the RFCs. Currently meeting invitations are sent only to the Tango Kernel group. The new people could comment, review and event contribute to the RFCs.
   • Lorenzo commented what we should aim to complete the work in coming months (and 1-year timeframe is definitely too long). Invitations are sent to Kernel group because some experience in Tango Kernel is needed to write an RFC. More people could be involved when we start defining the shape of Tango v10. Lorenzo suggested that people who currently contribute to RFC project should involve more people from their institutes.
   • Sergi suggested that more time should be allocated for RFC work. Currently authors and editors are overloaded with other activities in their institutes.
   • ACTION: Michal/Piotr will prepare list of all contributors to the Tango RFC project
   • ACTION: Michal/Piotr will invite Andy, Vincent (mandatory) and possibly all other contributors to the next meeting to discuss how above issues can be addressed (call for contributors, more time allocated, etc...)
