The board has accepted it and the desktop group has, too, but many others opposed. Even Max as our formal FPL has brought up this topic less than three weeks ago, but nothing has happened. But it's not about how many groups have accepted it or not, it is not about whether I like it or not ether. As mentioned several times before, I agree we should have a default and I think it should be GNOME. But this does not change the fact that the term "Desktop Live" is a poor description. If you were to do booth service on events you'd know that "What is on this media?" is *the* most frequent asked question. If the requirements include a "clear description", then this should be applied to all media. A clear description is self explanatory, we cannot expect people to know that GNOME is the default. > > "If Fedora Design Team produced artwork is desired, this must be added > > to Fedora Design Team schedule by Alpha." > > > > Spin owners cannot add something to the design team#s schedule, they can > > only file tickets in their trac, but this is not a guarantee that the > > artwork is done in in time.

Fine with me, but that does not fix the problem with the media handout requirements: Who is to add something to the design team's schedule? What is the workflow for a requester to have something added? We only have requirements but now workflow and no help how to meet them. If I am to follow that list, I need clear instructions of whom to contact, where to request what and so on. > > "Must have an approved test plan on file with the Fedora Quality > > Assurance team > > Test plan should be written involving members of the QA team > > Test plan must be executed by someone, with review by a member of the QA > > team.

And if it means we drop all our spins... I am ok with that. We not only would need to drop our spins but all media if not Fedora completely. We have test cases that cover the desktops, regardless of from what media it was installed. I'm not saying that we don't need testing, but this is another example that the current media handout requirements were gathered by the board without proper cooperation with other teams such as QA.

I wrote that the board should enforce this, but so far nobody seems to have approached rel-eng. Once the lists are in git it is easy for me to build the list of packages I was asked to deliver. Summing it up I'd like to say that I wish the board works with all groups in Fedora to produce a list like the media handout requirements. This does not seem to have happened: QA was not asked, rel-eng nether, and the design team is only mentioned in this list because Mo is member of both the board and the design team. Not to mention the spins SIG who produces the spins or the ambassadors who are to distribute the media. For the future I wish the board would better try to involve all affected parties. And if board members ask questions they could answered themselves by looking at the prototype I produced 3 months ago, I think this is a pretty poor performance.
