http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/spins/2010-February/000985.html I'm not sure I agree with having spins that just change a default language selection for the convenience of local users. For a while we did have a Hindi spin, which didn't see a lot of downloads as I recall, although certainly you wouldn't expect to see as many of those as for a standard spin. On the one hand, this seems like no problem from the perspective of the Fedora brand. The user gets the exact same experience as if they had chosen their language manually the same way. It would be easy for us to have a policy that grants TM approval for a spin whose only change is the default language selection. Then a local Ambassador can produce that pressed media if they care to do so. On the other hand, I don't think that the Fedora Project should be required to host these spins by default, because I think it trivializes spins to have an explosion of per-locale ISOs adding negligible value other than the locale specificity. I'm pretty sure the Board dealt with this issue previously, maybe while I was on it. We should document our decision on the Spins site, after we revisit it making sure that we're taking into account recent spin history. -- Paul W.
