Revision as of 08:29, 9 May 2012
What do we get from the current process
- A theme for the release wallpaper, website, other artwork
- A "less cold" way to refer to the release
- A process that involves new contributors to Fedora
- The release name is treated somewhat as an internal code name but it has become more a public part of the Fedora release due to: 1) tying it to the theming process and 2) the press sometimes referring to it by the release name.
What do people want from a revised process
- A theme for the distribution that spans releases
- A naming scheme that makes it more obvious when a release happened (not necessarily date-wise... maybe sequence is a better description)
- A process that gets new contributors excited that they have joined Fedora
- A "less cold" way to refer to the release
- Something that's still fun
Proposals
Mizmo has a proposal (Suggestions_for_Fedora_Codename_Theme) to use a single theme for the rest of the Fedora releases. Not sure of some details. Once an overall theme is chosen, how are individual names for each release selected? are we just replacing the "is-a" relationship criteria of the current process with a relation to the theme and continuing to vote?
