This discussion is around finding means to increase that level of transparency. ** https://fedorahosted.org/board/ticket/94 ** Previously, there were twice monthly IRC meeting and phone meetings were Board business but there was a backlog so it was changed to weekly phone and bi-weekly Board "chats" with community ** Proposal (from Spot): First meeting every month is phone meeting. Define topics to be discussed at second meeting which is an IRC meeting (half dedicated to the agenda, half dedicated to open Q and A) *** Addition (jsmith): Mechanism to add things that come up in IRC ** Pros and Cons of moving more Board business to IRC ** Possibly use Fedora Talk to allow others to listen to (some?) phone calls -- and have complete logs of calls ** Proposal(rdieter): flip flop between phone and IRC meetings *** If we have IRC Board meetings need structure: **** Agenda **** Topics (via meetbot) **** leader/moderator keeps us all on topic Action: (spot): Will design a meeting protocol for IRC ** Proposal(jreznik): phone calls recording *** Action Item: jsmith to work on the Fedora Talk server *** Action Item: jsmith to investigate dial-in numbers (DIDs or DDIs) in other parts of the world (jreznik to help with the Czech Rep.) *** private topics? todo: figure how to make sure no private issues are made public **** All Board members would need to know what things can't go out publically/only be talked about in exectutive session **** Luckily, those issues are few and far between **** https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board_public_IRC_meetings * The Board Goals for the coming year topic ** Next step -- let's talk with fesco/famsco about what they like so that we can narrow it down. ** Invite the folks to a meeting *** We'll try to have two meetings, one with fesco, one with famsco Action: jds2001 will start talking to fesco Action: ke4qqq and JoergSimon will start talking to famsco ** Clarify what the goals mean (in terms of work, who does it, etc) *** Goals affirmed (hopefully) by the SCo's and plans for next steps in achieving them. Action: Have a governance hackfest at fudcon to make some strawman proposals for how Fedora is governed ** We need to get better with logistics and budget management outside the US *** Budget has traditionally been managed between FAMSCo and Red Hat's community architecture team, and not by the Board *** Certainly this is a topic that can be discussed at FUDCon as well (JoergSimon will prepare that topic for FUDCon) * Any other business? === Other notes === * Next meeting: Friday, January 7th (IRC meeting / office hours) ** jsmith to send an email to announce, devel-announce, and users to get more community input on Board goals _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
