Board Goals
- Reminding folks that the Fedora Board (with feedback from FAmSCo and FESCo and other groups) came up with three strategic goals for the Fedora 16 and Fedora 17 development cycles:
- Improve and simplify collaboration in the Fedora Community
- Improve and encourage high-quality communication in the Fedora Community
- It is extraordinarily easy to join the Fedora community and quickly find a project to work on.
- That's the "strategy" -- let's remind people to work on the tactical side of the goals
Board Blog
- Toshio brought up the question of what to do with the Board blog
- At a minimum, we should restore the archive to a wordpress instance
- Continue to blog significant board discussions/agreements rather than every thing discussed
Action Items
None
