I see > different timelines in Robyn's taskjuggler files at > http://rbergero.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-16/f-16-ambassadors-tasks.html I'm not sure. I'm expecting that when the announcement about the schedule does come (during the 19th-21st, and of course, it's already the 20th in some parts of the world), that maybe that will be clarified for those of us not on the phone call, since I don't see any details about it in the IRC log where it was originally discussed. I'm not sure what you're seeing in the Ambassadors's schedule for elections - the IRC town halls, IIRC, were intended to be used as forums for Ambassadors to share release-related information with folks in their region, but I could be wrong. (And we can certainly take that discussion to Amb-list, but just wanted to clarify that the town hall date in the ambassadors schedule isn't tied to the elections schedule because of that.) Beyond that: I think the schedule looks fine, save for the fact that things like the Questionnaire wrangler collecting questions on the wiki isn't listed here, only getting answers, and we've normally had a full week to deal with that. It could run concurrently to nominations being open, but it would probably help to have it on the schedule. So in short, questions: * Is this change intended to be permanent? Or will it change every time? (This determines how I'll adjust the schedule.) * Is this Board-only, or are FAmSCo and FESCo also included? * Is someone going to address the specifics of why the dates were changed in a public mail? * Is someone going to announce this stuff before the 21st? We're already done with the 19th. * Is there intent to have time added for questions gathering for questionaires? * Can we please, in the future, address scheduling changes prior to being in the period where stuff is scheduled to be going on? It really gives the appearance of, "We're changing the dates because nobody did anything." I gather, from what details I can find by reading the fine print in IRC logs, that some of this is to stimulate more participation by not doing everything in crunch time. But having to upend the schedule and code in new dates/lengths (presumably to allow for the thanksgiving holiday, meaning that things will have to be hardcoded from release to release every year) and rebuild the whole thing isn't exactly a fun thing to do during crunch-time either. :) -Robyn > Regards, > Christoph > > > _______________________________________________ > advisory-board mailing list > advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
