If I remember the conversation accurately, I believe spot's comments concerning his personal use koji to build a perl branch assuaged my primary concern on whether a space can be built for this in a workable manner. Though honestly, I'm somewhat crap with voices so it might not have been spot. A more international grouping on the Board would have made it easier to know whose talking when on calls based on accents. And you are absolutely correct, the private calls suck for this sort of stuff. We know that. We cut discussion short on implementation details specifically because we are sensitive to the fact that its a private call. If you missed some of my back and forth with Richard Jones concerning the mingw policy 'discussion', do to the over lengthy nature of my posts, I could attempt to summarize my personal feelings on things, just as long as everyone understands that I am doing so at the behest of FESCo and not attempting to usurp authority. Please understand that I am trying to be sensitive to the recent discussions concerning how the Board and FESCo are meant to work together. I've no problem making personal suggestions but I want to be as considerate as I can to FESCo's role as an authority. Obviously I didn't do as well as I could have separating my personal input to FESCo from the Board mandate in my previous post. So I am somewhat gun shy to drop more of personal braindump in FESCo's lap prior to them even taking up the issue formally and talking amongst themselves. What I would prefer to do is make sure that I am at the FESCo meeting where this topic is introduced, so I can act as a resource to FESCo. We should make sure that spot is there as well I guess. If FESCo wants me to personally tap me to draft up my braindump on the packaging policy, by working with Richard Jones and the other developers who have initiated this.. outside of the public lists...I can do that, as long as I haven't burned too many bridges in the fab conversation leading up to this moment. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
