General spin question
- (mmcgrath) Who approves different spins?
- Mike would like to treat net install like a spin and make a page for it, post-F12
- Spins could potentially move to mirror space soon now that we have more space
- (group answer) The spins SIG does technical approval, and the Board approves trademarks
- The purpose is to better market the net installation ISO for general use
- No Board action needed, just FYI and information gathering
Next meeting
