Or what I've been calling "Featured > Spins". Many people feel localized spins don't fit that category. So here's the beauty of the proposal... that definition of "Featured Spins" can change with each release. And just as importantly.. I'm trying to setup a process that gives the final say as to what to host on Fedora infrastructure to releng by making those choices something we do as part of the release process and not a rolling set of choices. There's room to build more policy around this, as long as we keep things balanced with an eye towards diversity. For example if releng feels that 'desktop' and 'development' spins need to be commitments for every release, we can talk about that, and exempt them from the Selection Process... if we can get a commitment from infrastructure to set aside enough space for at least 4 spins. For each spin we enshrine, space for reviewable spin. This way we continue to have the ability to have a diverse set of spin concepts. In fact we might even be able to talk about a process of enshrining spins if they were selected for release 3 releases in a row or if we don't have the infrastructure to commit to enshrining them, then we kick them out and make room for another concept in the next release cycle. We simply are not going to have the resources to host a lot of localized spins. We just aren't.. not gonna happen....never ever. There's no way to be completely fair about it either. So since we can't be fair about it, then we have to be smart about it and host a particular localized spin for a particular release when it makes sense to do so for non technical reasons. Here's is where the Board's ability to choose one spin for Release can become very valuable to the Project. Let's say that next year we hold a Fudcon in Turkey, during the release of F12. The Board might very well decide to use its option to promote one spin from the pool to a Released Spin for F12 by choosing a Turkish localized Spin, that help promote Fedora at the event. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
