The initial Fedora Workstation Working Group has been formed and ratified by FESCo as of yesterday. FESCo has appointed me as the coordinator and I am pleased to announce the following people as members of the initial voting group: Owen Taylor: He will be able to discuss upstream Gnome plans and adds a lot of knowledge on desktop interactions. Kalev Lember: He will be able to provide community focused input and feedback into what is needed for a successful workstation product. Christoph Wickert: Long time Fedora member, will bring experience from both XFCE and LXDE desktop environments. Can help with inter-operability aspects between DEs, etc. Lukáš Tinkl: Long time core KDE developer. Will be able to provide feedback and insight into that DE as well as what that class of user looks for in a workstation. Jens Petersen: Will add i8n and developer experience to the team, helping the workstation product in those areas. Ryan Lerch: Fedora Design representative. Will help with UI and design experience. Matthias Clasen: GNOME desktop team lead. Lots of experience with Fedora and GNOME in a variety of aspects. Christian Schaller: Desktop manager and Fedora packager. Brings a good knowledge of workstation products. Josh Boyer: Coordinator. While the above people are the initial voting members, I want to strongly stress that we are looking for participation from anyone wishing to produce a high quality Workstation product. This is especially true if you are a member of another group that will be impacted, such as QA, rel-eng, etc. Logistics We are still working out details on our meeting times and IRC channels. For the time being, we will be using the desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for our mailing list. Once we get further details worked out, we'll announce them here and on that list. Thanks! josh -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
