I'd like to add another thing to the meeting topics:
The discussion about non-free / tainted, which lasted really long,
but AFAICS there is no concensus or decision, and the discussion
has effectively reached a standstill. My tries to get this going again have not 
succeeded so far.

For reference, have a look at those:

For some people the situation seems really clear, also to me,
this viewpoint is what tmb expressed in his mail:
https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2011-July/006560.html


But in the end we need a definitive decision.
