+- People agreed that some small projects should be done to during the bonding
+  period: ideas that floated around were fixing some of the build failures or
+  looking at the new debian installer.
+  http://unstable.buildd.net/buildd/hurd-i386_Failed.html
+  http://unstable.buildd.net/index-hurd-i386.html
+  For some context:
+  http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/tmp/graph-radial.ps
+  Don't pick something that looks too critical, it'll probably be too hard
+
+- Antrik was ok with not having a formal weekly report as long as the
+  repositories are growing and the students are around
+
+- Discussion about scms. It's ok to have your own, you'll get you own branch,
+  just make sure to make your own repository public. There was some talk about
+  not checking in one huge commit at the end
+
+- Copyright assignments to the FSF are required for most of hurd and other gnu
+  projects. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2008-03/msg00175.html
+  is your friend. Fill it out 3 times: Mach, Hurd, glibc. It's ok if you're
+  not planning on working on all of these. Email to fsf-records@gnu.org
+
+- Non-SoC students were offered some compensation for doing their projects
+  anyway. They were far more interested in the fact that they would be doing
+  worthwhile work than financial compensation
+
+- It was agreed that regular meetings would be a good idea. Once a
+  week, especially in the bonding period. 
+
+- In general it was agreed that conversations shouldn't stay between just
+  mentors and their students, that it's better to keep everything out in the
+  open
+
+- Non-SoC students were assigned mentors, though it was agreed that they would
+  be mostly a primary contact and that most conversations should be kept
+  public
+
+- Discussion turned back to the meetings, the usual back and forth about the
+  timeslot. Fridays at 19 UTC was decided as the meeting time.
+
+- It was suggested that students look into writing documentation/guides for
+  hurd, for example cross-compiling hurd on gentoo, as a way to get more
+  familliar.
+
+- Andrei will set up a google calendar for organizing meetings.
+
+- Antrik noted that IRC is good for quick questions but serious ones should go
+  to the mailing list to get everyone involved.
+
+And so the first meeting was concluded.

+- madrazr wanted a wiki to keep track of progress. antrik suggested:
+  http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/community/gsoc/ and that everyone use
+  that to keep track of their progress. bddebian was poked about git
+  accounts on flubber.bddebian.com
+
+- antrik/youpi talked about the mailing lists.
+   Debian GNU/Hurd (installer, etc): http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd
+   bug-hurd, etc
+
+- Don't be afraid to post to the lists. There's no need to send the
+  post for review first. Generally people on the list are the same as
+  people on IRC
+
+- various docs links were posted:
+  http://angg.twu.net/the_hurd_links.html
+  http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/docs.html
+
+- youpi posted a survey of some of the reasons why packages don't work
+  on Hurd: http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2007/07/msg00000.html
+  and http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2007/07/msg00001.html
+
+- andrei posted
+  http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~trent/gnu/hurd/hurd-talk.tar.gz an archive
+  of hurd-folks
+
+- antrik is happy with communication in general
+
+- wiki pages for each of the projects should be created sometime this
+  week

+
+* **madrazr** said that web commits for the wiki stall forever (more than half an hour); the reason is unknown. **antrik** said that it is not much of a problem if the problems with git access are solved.
+
+* It was explained that the wiki server is not a very fast machine, which runs Hurd, hence the delay.
+
+* Everybody agreed on the fact that there is much school/university work to do, since it's the end of the term now; students have little time to work on their projects.
+
+* The idea to use git and github for the projects was suggested.
+
+* **antrik** remarked that the summer session starts pretty soon and that it is time to tackle open design questions and decide where to start actual coding. The task to do that was assigned as a homework till the next meeting.
+
+* the official GSoC students talked about the start of program gift by Google.
