Flip-side. What happens when $contributor refuses to go out and > retract their assertion of a project? Do we really expect that to happen? I don't, if we're at least halfway competent in our messaging. Right now, people call everything "a project" because that's the only real terminology we've afforded them. Educate them, and they'll certainly buy in; it's why they're members of the project, after all. And if they refuse, then the board should correct them in public. Gently, but firmly. :) --g (p.s. this distinction would make it incumbent upon the board to audit the current "projects" to decide which are Projects and which are SIGs. For instance... Live CD? Free Media? Sponsored Media? And if these are official projects, who are the official heads?) ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors ------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
