Will there be sound recordings (ogg or mp3) made available of the
discussions leading to specific policy decisions (e.g., to mandate GNU
make), together with transcripts of at least the actual decisions?

Duh ! I hope no-one gets from the messages about this subject that some sort of decision was made at the GCC Summit.

We were just discussing options. One of them I offered was that GNU make is more portable than makefiles themselves. I said that because I have first-hand experience using make and GNU make on such varied platforms like Cray (both T3{D|E} and "classic"), Fujitsu VPP700/5000, NEC SX{4|5|6} - platforms most GNU "volunteers" do not have access to.
