* Notes from last meeting:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Board_strategic_working_group_2010-02-22
== Spins Work ==
* Background:
** Matt and Colin have been collecting feedback to questions asked
**
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Walters/SpinsSigsRemixes_TargetAudience
**
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Walters/SpinsSigsRemixes_ChangeDistribution
** http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/spins/2010-February/000996.html
** https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mdomsch/SWG_Spins
* Each spin producing group does believe they can and should define a
target audience
* John: would it help clarify our message to refer to the live gnome
desktop as the 'default offering' rather than referring to it as a spin?
** Paul: Spins were initially conceived as a range of things the
community can produce that are alternatives to what we feel must be
created, or add-ons that narrowly focus on special use cases
* Matt: Rel-eng sits in the middle of the spin creation process right
now -- a couple communication breakdowns have happened over time,
sometimes spin producers didn't know their spin was being built
** Matt: semi-OT -- at some point need to reconsider the question of who
builds the spins. Does it always have to be Release Engineering?
** Paul: more narrowly aimed spins (FEL, Games, ...) seem to nail their
use cases quite well
* Top of mind problem seems to be some dependency chains
(system-config-keyboard), whether or not that is the most serious
problem or not isn't clear
* 'PAIN POINT IDENTIFIED': Dependency chain requirements cause
alternate desktop spins to still pull in a large portion of the GNOME stack.
** 'NEXT STEPS': Mike will file ticket with FESCo requesting they
look at dependency chain requirements. This could be a Fedora
Engineering Services task.
** Colin willing to look at helping with dependency chain issues
** 'TICKET': https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/345
* 'NON PAIN POINT': Spins SIG does feel that resolution processes
have been working well when they're needed.
* Resources:
** Infrastructure now has the ability to host additional content,
including spins. This has been a long time incoming, and needs to be
implemented and announced, but the capacity is there now.
** Ambassadors who want to pass out specific spins can make requests for
monetary resources to CommArch, to be evaluated in the scope of media
requests and budget.
*** The Board is not taking a stance on what medias should be produced
for any particular event.
* Not sure what to do with feedback from survey work that showed that
some people don't want the board to help or ask questions about how they
can help
=== Next Steps & Positive Outcomes ===
# dependency chain requirements
#* https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/345
# hosting space for Spins
#* Each spin should file a request for space with infrastructure
# (tentative) being able to offer AutoQA
#* individual Spins should get involved with QA Team to ensure their
needs are addressed as well as those of the rest of the Project.
