If I were to separate all of the Fedora groups into broad buckets, they'd be something like "Outreach", "Building", and, uh.... "Liberal Arts". "Outreach" is ambassadors, marketing, support — largely stuff that happens between us and the world, and the distro cycle is largely a source of fuel, not the thing that's worked on. "Building" is all of the stuff to actually put together and release the distro. That's everything under FESCo, the working groups, packagers, FPC, and also QA and release engineering. And then there's the category of things which aren't directly *in* the release but are crucial parts of the project overall — design, docs, websites, infrastructure, Fedora applications, l10n, security, etc. We could quibble a little bit about whether some of those things are in the wrong bucket, but I don't want to — I'm not meaning this to be science. Overall, I think the list you gives represents the first two pretty well (particularly with both ambassadors and marketing having a representative). But I think the rest are kind of underrepresented — in a part of your message I elided, you put them in "Auxiliary Members". I'm not saying that's necessarily the wrong way, but I wonder if they should have a stronger voice. That could either be by having more primary members, or perhaps by collapsing some of the above. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ board-discuss mailing list board-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/board-discuss
