# What are the areas of the distribution and our processes that, in your opinion, need improvement the most? Do you have any ideas how FESCo would be able to help in those "trouble spots"?


# Who is Fedora for?
== [[Council/Nominations|Council]] ==
# Should any steps be taken to make sure releases don't get as much last minute delays as in the past? If yes: which?

# What should the Council do to help improve communication and openness across Fedora sub-projects, teams, and SIGs?
# Simple question: Among the two, do you prefer Gnome or KDE?
# What can the Council do to attract more packagers and other contributors? How should Fedora change in this regard?
# Do you think a Fedora Foundation is still worth pursuing? Why or Why not?
# What can the Council do to attract more people to non-technical roles? Does Fedora need to adapt or improve in this regard?
