APPROVED


=== 121: Move IRC meetings to #fedora-meeting ===
* Meetings tend to run over
** problem with blocking a 2 hour block is it ends up being a 2 hour meeting
** Another alternative is to just keep the meeting on topic to not go over
* Feeling at last meeting that #fedora-meeting-{1,2,3} not as good as #fedora-meeting but still better than #fedora-board-meeting (all by itself)
* Board going to try to move to #fedora-meeting* after the Board elections and we discuss a new meeting time
== 120: Unclear and never performed clause in Board election policy ==
* jstanley had a go and decided nothing would meet the requirements
* Approved just to remove altogether
== 113: Chinese community domains ==
* domains zh.fc.o cn.fc.o and zht.fc.o
* APPROVED, details documented in the ticket
== 112: Sri Lankan Fedora community ==
* Awaiting feedback from community
* Closing ticket, the community can reopen when they have a proposed site
== 117: Fedora on Launchpad.net ==
* Is it a board or FESCo issue? Board currently as initially at least its branding etc
* toshio will approach Launchpad.net about their expectation for what we use it for
== 105: Change Secretarial duties for Public IRC meetings ==
* Already agreed upon a couple of months ago
== 98: Board decisions may take a long time to make ==
* Decisions can block on external entities such as community or legal
* Need more explicit examples of when the board was slow in resolving issues so process can be analysed
* Board strives to close issues as quickly as possible
* Board will ensure tickets are updated within a reasonable time
** Board will say where the ticket is being blocked (for instance, "legal is still looking at this")
* Public shaming allowed: Ask ticket owners to reach us at irc public meetings, fab-list

Updates

Fedora 16 release

  • Good press coverage

FUDCon India a great success

  • Over 500 people showed up
  • Great job of reaching out to the local community
    • University cancelled classes on Friday so students could attend
    • ~200 students who had very little exposure to Fedora/Linux/Open Source before
  • Very well organised
    • About 20 student volunteers to help out with University Logistics
    • Good mix of User and Developer talks

How to get more user tracks at FUDCon NA?

  • Southern_Gentleman has been working to get a mix of tracks (inviting speakers for end users, etc)

End user support -- informal talk w/ a few OLPC Peru developers about whether there could be a release with a longer support/update cycle

  • OLPC 11.x release based on Fedora 14 being used for upcoming deployments
  • We are okay with the idea but there needs to be people who step up to run it
    • Inside of Fedora, the idea has come up before but people didn't organize to the point of work on it
    • Core OLPC release team is only ~4 people so there's not manpower there to do this on their own
    • Regional OLPC teams (like Peru) have more people who could do it
      • They would need to come forward and commit to what resources they have, what they want to achieve, and be able to build a community to work on it
