    • Submit additional suggestions to Paul Frields by end of business today

FUDCon Boston

  • Thoughts and take-aways for next time
  • Wondering if Red Hat Summit helped or hurt
  • We didn't have a lot to show the "drive-bys" from the Summit who came by the hackfest session
  • What about having a much larger booth as part of the exhibitors floor similar to LinuxTag?
  • Summit does provide the advantage of having more Red Hat people on hand
  • Really difficult for people to do two events at the same time
  • Surprised at number of first time people that came to FUDCon
  • Carry additional discussion items to fedora-advisory-board@redhat.com mailing list
    • What could be a better FUDCon ?

Followup to Previous Business

Fedora Organizational Structure (2008-06-03)

Codeina (2008-05-13)

  • Need to restart discussion on fedora-advisory-board@redhat.com to get plans in place at the start of F10
  • Chris Aillon to make contact with Bastien Nocera to find out what current plans are
  • RESOLUTION:
    • waiting on bug 438225 to proceed
    • this change will enable auto-provide for codec information
    • For Fedora 10 removing Codeina and using the distribution's built-in mechanism to install packages (if 438255) is implemented
    • For Fluendo to continue to provide codecs to Fedora they will need to provide them as packages in a yum repo
    • This errs on the side of more "free-ish" software
    • Revisit progress of Bug 438225 thirty days from now

Secondary Architectures

  • Put forward by Bill Nottingham for 2008-06-10 agenda
  • ia64 is close to coming online and two issues need to be resolved to move forward:
  1. Packages are signed with a fedora-ia64 specific key and the repository keys are hard coded in the fedora-release package as the main Fedora and Fedora beta keys.
  2. The download baseurl (outside of the mirror lists, which are correctly handled) will be at secondary.fedoraproject.org (or whatever). Therefore they can not spin a release from Fedora packages.
  • RESOLUTION: No discussion. This is a technical issue to be resolved by FESCo (if necessary) and not the board.


Future Business (discuss at a future meeting)

  • Next meet with be public IRC meeting with the board
  • Paul to send out announcement and coordinate IRC channels and moderator
