https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board_goals_2011 I still think these goals are really important and hope that at least some of them are championed by members of the current board. For the sake of convenience, they are: 1) Improve and simplify collaboration in the Fedora Community 2) Improve and encourage high-quality communication in the Fedora Community 3) It is extraordinarily easy to join the Fedora community and quickly find a project to work on. 4) Expand global presence of Fedora among users & contributors 5) Improve education & skill sharing in community Some specific problems cited by FESCO and the Board at the time (which are still quite relevant) are: - Mailing list communication is a mess - Fedora Classroom needs more leadership / publicity - It's really hard to get started I believe deeply that fixing mailing lists is going to have a lot of far-reaching positive effects and I really hope that a board member takes this issue on to champion in 2012. ~m _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
