Article covering the Fedora Summit related developments
http://lwn.net/Articles/207938/
From the linked posting to f-a-b by Mr. Spevack:
The choice to have those meetings on the phone, as opposed to on
IRC, was
one that was made by the Board when we started up, the main reason
being
the ones that Paul stated -- phone calls are higher bandwidth, and the
idea is to get everyone in that call on the same page as quickly as
possible.
At our company, we have found that phone conferences are very
productive, but unless there is a transcriptionist, what each person
takes away from that conversation isn't always the same. And the
contents of the conversation is not available to those not on the
conference call.
Slap down a digital voice recorder next to the phone speaker and post
an OGG later.
Reading through all of those emails, the one thing that really
struck me
and made me think was the comment that "everything in Fedora takes
a long
time."
Fedora isn't just turning a great big ship ( RH, cough ), it is
turning a ship, building a ship, and at the same time trying to
respond to all the shouters on the dock telling you what to do to both.
Yeah, it's gonna take time.
From an end-user perspective, I just want to see continuous
improvement visible.
( I think there has been a great deal of progress FC5 => FC6
_outside_ of the versions on the packages that are on the discs )
Speed isn't that important to me because Fedora will never be "done"
- there isn't really a finish line.
