Spins, where are they?

We still only have 3 respins*. Whats the hangup? Has no one applied for
more spins or is this just not as popular as we'd thought.

Rahul just got approval for a huge number of localized spins.. not too
long ago.

XFCE spin has its technical issues fixed even more recently.

When will and if release-eng will produce isos from the blessed ks
files.. I can't tell you.

Looking beyond that....
And someone was working on a edu spin.. see devel-list archive for a ks file.
Astronomy SIG I believe is working on getting software in the repo so
they can do spin.

My question for you is... where does infrastructure stand in terms of
hosting resources for spins. If you had a request for 50 more isos to
host... could we do it?

We've got just a bit more then 400G donated in November from one of our
sponsors, ServerBeach in preparation for hosting new spins and torrents.

So if you are willing to host them, I have a dozen localized spins and
the XFCE spin all approved and waiting for the next step.

There is also Fedora Lite, Security Spin and Fedora Art Studio

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChristophWickert/FedoraLite
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LukeMacken/SecurityLiveCD
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ArtTeamProjects/FedoraArtStudio

Some of them are waiting on software to be packaged first so might take
some time.

And also a Fedora Education Spin:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SebastianDziallas/Education
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-February/msg00410.html

Sebastian (a relative new contributer) afaics could need some
help/guidance how to go forward with it. He tried to find help on
fedora-devel, but besides some discussion ("add this and that" -> "no
more space on CD" and "integrate LTSP" -> "no more space on CD" or "make
a DVD" -> "no, make a CD" | "make both a CD and a DVD" ) not much happened.

I didn't add that since Jeff already mentioned it in the mail I replied to.

I see the wiki page being updated regularly and answered with a
suggestion when asked for help. Not sure what you were expecting to happen.

He called his spin final in his last mail and between the lines of this
and earlier mails I read "I want to see this as official spin in
Fedora". Together that means to me: if Fedora wants that spin someone
needs to tell him what the next steps are (or in this case: point him to
the proper place in the wiki). Until now nobody did.
