When I took over as chair of FESCo, I started using our trac instance (https://fedorahosted.org/fesco) for meeting planning. This had two advantages: 1) It makes my life sane 2) It increases transparency of what we do. At any time, you can tell what's before us at the next meeting by going to https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/report/9 (though I must admit it's not as updated as it could be at times - though right now it's perfect). Aside from that, all of our meetings are held in public, and most (I say most because there's the occasional thing that can't be - often related to a specific individual's conduct, etc) of our business is transacted in public. For full disclosure, there is one class of business that we take on that is deliberated in private and voted on in public, and should continue in this way - sponsor nominations (and now provenpackager requests - essentially the same process gets followed). However, the scope of the individuals involved in the deliberations are wider than just FESCo - it extends to all current sponsors. The reason for private deliberation is that we don't want any hard feelings, etc when negative information has to be discussed, and the free flow of information in making that decision is essential. _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
