I'm hoping to get it workable before long. Work and other commitments killed it unfortunately because I just didn't have the time I needed to dig down to fix the issues I was seeing. I hope to do a remix instead within a month or so of the official F-14 release, possibly even with MeeGo 1.1 > * Are you interested in using the upcoming FUDCon in Tempe to > evangelize for Mobility, Sugar, etc.?

Yes, we ran a mobility session at Zurich as well and it looks like there's going to be at least 3-4 Sugar people at Tempe as well as a lot of people that are interested in MeeGo so hopefully we'll be able to ramp it up further there. > * Are there specific tasks laid out somewhere that the Board and > contributors like myself could point out to someone who wanted to > help, like a blocker bug list, wiki page, or something like that? > I'd love to bring some more hands in to help, and it's super-helpful > if I can point them to a list like that. Not really as yet. There's a tracker bug for both MeeGo 1.0 [1] and 1.1 [2] as well as a general Mobility one [3] but I really need to finish migrating the Mini stuff to Mobility and put in wiki redirects where necessary so if there's someone that's more of a wiki genius that I am (not hard!) it would be great to get that cleaned up so all the old Mini/Moblin/MeeGo links redirect to the central https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mobility page Peter [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538447 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620175 [3] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462851 _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
