As far as I understand it, it really doesn't have any particular material impact on us. It seems to have just been one of those things where someone looked at the list of projects - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects - and wondered why the heck QA wasn't on there. As far as I can figure out from the wiki, Official Project Status doesn't actually confer any particular responsibilities or rights or obligations or anything on us. I can't see where it's going to have any kind of concrete impact on what we do, at all. It really just seems to be a 'duh, of COURSE QA should be on that list' thing. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
