Cross-posting to three lists, but follow-up set to fedora-devel, to not have the discussion on 3 lists in parallel. But I'm sure mailman will eat the manual follow up before sending the mail out again :-/ So please adjust it manually and send your replies *only* to fedora-devel ;-) tia! Hi all! FESCo in its yesterday out-of-order meeting agreed to follow the proposal I posted on fedora-advisory-board ( https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2007-January/msg00129.html ) to merge the Core Cabal and FESCo into a new committee that handles the day to day work around the stuff that was formally known as Fedora Core and Fedora Extras. In other words: we integrate Jesse (aka f13) and Bill (aka notting) into FESCo (Jeremy is already part of FESCo), merge the responsibilities of both groups (and thus give it lot more to do). The Fedora Board will probably discuss the proposal in todays meeting, too. But one issue is still totally undecided and needs to be solved soon: What do we call that FESCo and Core Cabal successor? The "E" in FESCo until now stood for Extras, but soon Extras will vanish due to the merge. So hat do we want to call it? Suggestions that came up: FTC -- Fedora Technical Committee FTT -- Fedora Technical Team FET -- Fedora Engineering Team FEDCo -- Fedora Distribution Committee FESCo -- Fedora Steering Committee 42 None of the above name suggestions did receive a "yes, that's a really great idea, I like it, all the people I asked love it, thus go for it" from the people involved in the discussions. Thus with this mail we'd like to ask the community for suggestions and its option: "Which of the above names do you like most or do you have something better in mind that sounds good, is not to easily confused with other stuff from this world and roughly describes what the committee does?" CU thl P.S.: For those that missed it, I'm not FESCo's chairmen any more (but still a FESCo member) since last Thursday -- After doing the job for one year I felt that it's time for me to hand it over to someone else with fresh blood and new ideas. Brian Pepple is FESCo's interims chair now and I'm sure he'll do a great job. Please help him as good as you can -- and always keep in mind: You don't have to be in FESCo or any other committee to to help improving Fedora! P.P.S.:Ohh, some backgrounds for the proposed names: * FTC -- name clash with Federal Trade Commission. A bit bad, but seems some people don't care much about that. http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=FTC&Find=find&string=exact 39 meanings in total on acronym finder * FTT -- "Failure to thrive (FTT) refers to a baby or child that is not developing as well as desired." http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=FTT&Find=find&string=exact 12 meanings in total on acronym finder * FTT -- Field-Effect Transistor http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=FET&Find=find&string=exact 24 meanings in total on acronym finder * FEDSCo "Federal Employees Distributing Company (Co-Op)" http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=FEDCo&Find=find&string=exact 2 meanings on acronym finder * FESCO-- Fedora Steering Committee is to easily confused with the Board, thus probably a no-go * 42 -- Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Answer_to_Life%2C_the_Universe%2C_and_Everything -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
