Hey hey hey, look who's volunteering ;) Copying Peter in case he's not on the marketing list or following it religiously.... So - I guess I have a few questions here, as well as comments. Questions first! * MeeGo is also listed on Feature List [1]. Does that need to be removed? Renamed? * On the MeeGo feature page [2] there is something saying that you can do a yum install meego-netbook from rawhide. Is this still the case? Could we possibly call this something along the lines of a "mobility spin tech preview"? (I'm not sure what all the technical details are here, which is probably safer for us all anyway :D - just trying to figure out how to distinguish the naming of what we *are* going to have, at least pieces of anyhow.) * I guess I need a bit of handholding as far as "the software" we're talking about. Is that the software referenced in the MeeGo page like Clutter, GUPnP, and libsocialweb? Comments second: * I'm really sad to see this one go. I don't know if anyone else noticed but the amount of highlighting this feature / spin got was probably more abundant than anything else. MeeGo was specifically mentioned in a number of the article titles in news that came out around Beta time, as you can see in the press archives. [3] I really appreciate all the work that Peter and everyone else have done on this, and I hope we can work out the issues for next time around! * * * [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FeatureList [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/MeeGo_1.0 [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_press_archive > > Paul > > ----- Forwarded message from "Paul W.
