== Roll Call ==

Attendees: John Poelstra, Paul Frields, Matt Domsch, Bill Nottingham, Seth Vidal, Jesse Keating, Spot Callaway, Chris Tyler, Harald Hoyer, Karsten Wade

Regrets: Jef Spaleta

== MinGW (2008-07-15) ==
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Meetings/2008-07-15#Mingw
* So far approximately 50 packages
* Release Engineering reports that cost of coming up with separate infrastructure as previously requested by the board appears to far outweigh the benefits ** https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/Meetings/2008-oct-13#MinGW_Repos
* '''RESOLUTION''':
** Board removes its original requirement that the MinGW packages be separated from the main Fedora repos though may revisit in the future if issues arise
** Board continues to leave ongoing implementation details to FESCo

== Trademark Update ==
* Guidelines are fully approved by legal counsel
* Paul needs to finish out page describing usage guidelines around the secondary mark
** Allowed uses of colors and backgrounds
* Spot will add to legal section of Fedora wiki once Paul makes final changes
* '''ACTION'''
** Everyone should join in voting on fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx
** http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2008-October/msg00021.html

== Artwork in Fedora ==
* Recent email threads on fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx
* Discussion centered around who is responsible for the "look and feel" of Fedora * Look of default icon set of distribution is important because it does makes a first impression on new users
* Where does Fedora define "Upstream Fedora Artwork" to exist?
* Is Fedora specific art work considered to be working "upstream" or does such an "upstream" exist? * The Board is ultimately responsible for the ''look and feel'' of Fedora but would like it to be clear that it has delegated this responsibility to the Fedora Art Team
** Historically this was FESCo's responsibility
*** https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2007-July/msg00154.html
*** https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SteeringCommittee/Meeting-20070726#Nodoka_Theme ** When FESCo recently re-evaluated its role it retained many of its previous responsibilities, but did not explicitly retain responsibility over the ''look and feel'' of Fedora. As a result this responsibility reverted to the Fedora Board.

*** http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SteeringCommittee/Meeting-20080612
* There were no dissenting votes to the following resolution:
* '''RESOLUTION'''
*# FESCo has previously delegated the responsibility to determine the look and feel of Fedora to the Artwork team, and the Board continues to support that decision *# The Artwork team, like any other Fedora team, should work with other groups to develop consensus on look and feel discussions *# The Artwork team should formally decide whether or not Echo should be the default icon set in Fedora 10
