"Action: Create SIGs (Special Interest Groups). Which ones? Good question. Ignacio already started a bit of work at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs Current groups: GNOME, KDE, Multimedia, Perl, Python, Ruby, Scientific and Technical, Server Tools, ppc, x86-64. Do we need more? Input needed!" We talked a lot about this at FUDCon Delhi last week.
