Present: * Peter Robinson * John Rose * Christoph Wickert * Jaroslav Reznik * Toshio Kuratomi * Garrett Holmstrom Absent: * David Nalley * Nick Bebout Regrets: * Eric Christensen * Robyn Bergeron Today's lucky secretary: Toshio Kuratomi ======================================= Agenda: * Announcements ** F18 slipped another week. New target is 2012-11-06 for Beta, 2012-12-11 for GA ** FUDCon Paris *** cwickert and probinson reports: Very successful *** keynote filled with information and vision for future of fedora *** First day that was cohosted with openworld was more focused on people who hadn't heard of Fedora yet than on enabling current contributors to do work *** Monday Hackfest very productive -- people working even on Monday evening (last day) *** Discussed many budget items *** xfce work was worked on ** elections -- scheduling is getting harder due to the release slipping *** Release is pushing up against the Christmas/New Years holidays. *** That probably pushes the Board election to after the holidays -- if we keep slipping it starts to get us close to FUDCon *** Could move the townhalls, nominations, etc to before the release and leave elections to after **** Worry that would be pulling people who are working on release off to "campaign" *** Also worry about fairness of some people having longer terms due to period between some releases being longer *** Neither Board or FESCo have seemed to have difficulties with dates as long as they're not putting off the elections for a long period *** inode0 to touch base with Ankur (Election Wrangler) and Jaroslav to figure out a proposed schedule * Fedora 19 proposed names review ** http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_suggestions_for_Fedora_19 ** We'll finish up next week's meeting ** This week we'll look at non grey areas: *** Not an is-a relationship *** Possible problems with trademark (see suggestions page for guidelines) ** Toshio to divide out the list to all Board Members == Open Floor == === Are we losing users? === * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics#Total_repository_connections * F15 took a large hit and we haven't recovered ** Listing of the technology changes that went into F15: gnome3, systemd ** Also F14 was the last release before RHEL6 was released. * Have we really lost users? (The statistics seem accurate at what they're measuring) * Seeing large amount of enthusiasm at conferences which is a contrasting view to this * Next: Public IRC meeting 2012-10-24 =======================================
