https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Board_stratgic_working_group_2010-02-08 == Roll Call == Attendees: John Poelstra, Matt Domsch, Mike McGrath, Paul Frields, Colin Walters, Chris Tyler == Status == * Matt and Colin have worked up some questions about Spins ** [[User:Walters/SpinsSigsRemixes_TargetAudience]] ** [[User:Walters/SpinsSigsRemixes_ChangeDistribution]] ** Would like to bring back some feedback by next week * Mike checked in with websites team to see how latest design is going ** get.fedoraproject.org ** overall look and feel ** latest updates are in git repo == Purpose of Strategy == * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Poelstra/Importance_of_strategy * Paul: "areas we want to emphasize" is too nebulous * Matt: strategy is to rally the troops * Paul: target audience discussion was to help refine strategy, the means rather than the end * Colin: is distinction between "Fedora Distro" and "Fedora Project" too strong? ** Paul: There is a difference because the Project encompasses people who aren't necessarily working on the direction of the distro -- for example, people who are building processes for free/open marketing, which isn't constrained to the distro * '''NEXT ACTIONS''': Paul will take a shot at moving page to conclusion == Next Steps for Personas == * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Poelstra/Target_audience_personas * John is the owner of this proposal * John: unclear how much we can rely on this without a leader to move it forward who's experienced in UX design * Matt: personas make a lot of sense for specific spins. Could this be a good tool for spins to use? * Colin: may want to consider personas for general purpose spins/Fedora general audience * John: understand the ''personas'' to be for identifying users of the ''default'' distribution * Paul: Personas were meant to provide a smooth interface between user attraction and expectations we set up in our basic web pages (front and get), with the actual experience of running the default distribution ** We can continue without, but personas would make it easier in the future to tune that work * '''NEXT ACTIONS''': *# John will email advisory-board list seeking help with carrying personas work forward. *# If there are no responses, the Board still recognizes the value of the work done so far and will retain it, while moving on with its strategic work. == Next Steps for ''Discussion of Default Offering'' == * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pfrields/Different_default_offering * Paul is the owner of this proposal * Review page for pros and cons * Colin: In the future could we create some criteria that would help guide the process of selecting a change in the default behavior of an application or subsystem? ** criteria: Does the upstream project share our values? How active is upstream? (these are semi-lame but anyways) ** Paul: Would see the criteria Colin brings up as a decision belonging to FESCo * '''NEXT ACTIONS''': *# SWG members asked to go over risk/benefit analysis carefully and add comments as desired *# Request board discussion at next meeting: *#* Does the board as a whole agree with the conclusion of the wiki page that the Desktop Spin should continue as Fedora's default distribution offering? == Next Week's Discussion == * Matt: Feedback gathered from Spins discussions * Chris: [[User:Ctyler/draft/what_is_fedora_the_distro]] == Next SWG Meeting == * 2010-02-15 @ 3 PM EST * John will NOT be at Thursday board meeting. ** Colin will represent SWG at board meeting if there are any questions about progress, etc., beyond what is in the meeting notes _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
