Spin Maintainers, may I please have your attention.
To be included in the Fedora 10 release cycle, you'll need a Feature
page in category ProposedFeature (and change that to the
ProposedFeatureF10 category when you feel the Spin Concept is ready for
actual inclusion). This page should be ready (eg. prepared) before the
Alpha freeze.
The Feature Page for that spin should have a short description of the
spin concept, it's target audience, any notes you want to write down on
why it is you do foo or bar. It should also contain a link to the
kickstart, but since a mailing list is still pending, I suggest you
email it to fedora-livecd-list@xxxxxxxxxxx The Spin SIG picks it up,
does a technical review, and sends you the OK or comments. If the Spin
SIG approves, your kickstart will be added to the GIT repository for the
appropriate branch(es). At this point, it'll be forced to use
"generic-logos", still. The Spin SIG will work with you to fit in the
kickstart into the pool, get some things right or more right, and while
you -by then at least-, should also have commit "access to the GIT
repository"[1], the spin concept will continue it's path to the Board
for trademark approval. Make sure that before this happens, you have
some kind of strong argument in favor of the spin so they just can't say
no. It makes all our lives easier ;-) Once you're kickstart (spin
concept) has the almighty Board trademark approval stamp, we change
"generic-logos" back to "fedora-logos".
The kickstart should be built upon fedora-live-base.ks in the
spin-kickstarts repository at:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git
This GIT repository has several branches: master, and a very distinctive
branch for each live release of Fedora out there. Naturally, the master
branch is where development goes against rawhide, and the release
specific branches is where you have a chance to maintain your spin
concept for the duration of the lifecycle of that release.
Basing on fedora-live-base.ks may be deferred from such as with the
Electronic Lab DVD spin: it bases itself on the KDE CD spin so that
minimal overhead in duplicate configuration and scripts is accomplished.
You may do the same; as long as you make sure you tell us in your
Feature page or technical review request. And if you don't tell us in
your Feature page, I'll read it from the kickstart anyway.
For now, you are requested to start filling out your spin's Feature
page, get them to the Spin SIG (members are on [2]), request access to
the gitspin-kickstarts group[1] in FAS, and start composing every two
weeks or so, to verify rawhide hasn't changed too much.
To watch commits to the spin-kickstarts GIT repository, subscribe to the
spin-kickstarts-commits list[3]
I'd love to see you all come back to me in the next week or so ;-)
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
