A place where Fedora Contributors get together to work on a Fedora issue. I understand that some people use the word FAD more expansively, but the only one of those I seemed to see was FISL12. >From a branding perspective we need to think about whether the word FAD is doing too much work by trying to represent two somewhat different concepts (contributors working on Fedora vs user oriented events). Do we have any other examples of Fedora user oriented activities being colocated with a larger event/activity to draw in new users? regards, bex > > But all of this was during a period where my Fedora involvement was > relatively low, as I had young children and a very busy day job. > > > -- > Matthew Miller > <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Fedora Project Leader > _______________________________________________ > council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to > council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
