Hi, I took the meeting minutes from the user base discussion meeting last week and wrote up a blog post on the meeting - http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2013/04/09/fedora-board-fedora-userbase-discussion/
Thanks! That is a pretty coherent summary of what was a very chaotic and fast paced meeting.
1) "Who Do" We start off with a goal or vision statement. In this case, the statement could be: "Fedora will be an awesome platform for building things."
This one seems like it might give us some idea of what would need to change to make Fedora a platform. (Though there is likely to be some big differences in opinion on the kind of platform.)
2) "3-12-3" Depending on how many people show up to the meeting, we might want to break out into groups, but it should work for up to 10 active participants. This one is based on timing. We start with a topic, again it could be: "A platform for building technology"
I don't imagine this is going to work very well over IRC at this time. I think it may be too chaotic to manage well in a short time.
3) "Cover Story" Pretend that we've reached our goal of being the ultimate platform for building technology on top of, and that we're being featured on the cover of a prominent mainstream magazine. As a group, brainstorm what the magazine issue's content will contain:
I think this might be better after we have explored more of what being a platform might mean.
4) "Pre-Mortem" Pretend Fedora failed and is dead, and we need to come up with an obituary of the achievements it accomplished over its life and how things went wrong. There's going to be two main threads to the discussion on this one:
I don't know that this one will help us move forward very well. Though it might be fun as a combination of a history lesson and nostalgia. And I'd like to see more group fun in the project.
5) "The 5 Whys" You start off with a problem statement. Our problem statement could be: "Fedora is not the best platform for building new technology." As a group, brainstorm a set of reasons why the problem is a problem. Number each reason.
I think this is another one that might not work too well until we have a better idea of what kind of platform we want to be.
