User Base Diagram Followup (Paul/John)

 * Got several different forms of graphic from different people, both on the Board and elsewhere
 * Paul met with Mo Duffy to see if she could help us with putting together a diagram
 * Showed her the different inputs
 * A lot of different purposes; might need more than one kind of graphic
 * Wanted to show magnitude and input of different components of user base
 * Looked like other graphics that describe "communities of practice" with smaller subsets towards top
 * Movement upward is problematic since bottom might be viewed as "bad"
 * Time progression not very useful/accurate in many cases since people can move around
 * Circular diagram gets rid of most of these problems, can portray the same ideas
 * Mo interested in ascribing different kinds of people to areas, hoping to get her to reiterate on advisory-board@fp.org
 * mdomsch: How does this try to address individuals in multiple roles simultaneously?
 * pfrields: Difficult to capture in diagram itself, but may be addressed in narrative around it
 * Need to have a central purpose to create a clear diagram--we need to be clear on what that purpose is
 * There are other models already that show how people change involvement/skill in open projects -- this diagram is clearer if it's simply about magnitude of different groups of people and how they affect each other
 * NEXT ACTIONS
 * Paul to create a new version of the diagram
 * Post to advisory-board list and request additional feedback from Mo Duffy

Spins (Colin/Matt)

 * update https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Unfinished_Board_issues (
 * move to finished section and tie out page references
 * SWG believes all Spins issues have been discussed and resolved to the best of our abilities
 * NEXT ACTIONS:
 * Move action items and links to the Finished section to show where we've identified specific issues and are pursuing them with definitive fixes/actions

Work on the Default Offering (Paul/Colin)

 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pfrields/Desktop_user_experience_designers
 * Since we don't have a group of full time designers we rely on a groups of users with common interests
 * How can we get more designers involved?
 * Existing page does not seem to directly answer the issue/question being asked
 * NEXT ACTIONS:
 * Paul to work on an updated version and send out to everyone today
