I would rather the vision be developed in an open public way than live solely in the mind of some dictator who optionally (as a "bonus") would actually communicate and work with other community members. Unfortunately it isn't possible for everyone who wants to participate to be able to go to a physical meeting, but I know for the spins meeting we did at the last FUDcon we were very careful to make sure we took very good notes [1] and blogged about it as well. Once the story is developed it's easier to tell it and add on to it I think. But developing it is a big step I'm not sure of any better way to get done than a physical brainstorming meeting. ~m [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Spins -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
