 * OWNER: Jef Spaleta
 * FOLLOWUP on 2008-02-12
 * Jef is waiting for feedback from Jeremy Katz on release engineering's perspective
 * Reference: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/Meetings/2008-feb-11
 * People are still not clear on exactly what is required to create an official "Fedora Spin"
 * Need a clear list of guidelines of what a spin owner is responsible for and what they are required to test
 * Hoping a test will come from Jeremy Katz as part of feedback from release engineering
 * We are only talking about spins that use GA packages, thus testing for GA should have given us enough comfort that risk is minimized
 * We only need to be concerned with new combination of packages that a spin would present
 * ACTIONS & OWNERS:
 * Paul Frields--followup with Fedora Release Engineering and QA contingent to discuss testing requirements
 * Jef Spaleta to formulate specific guidelines for review prior to or at next board meeting (dependent on feedback from release engineering)
 * FOLLOWUP on 2008-02-19
 * Crux of issue right now is figuring out exactly what input release engineering is supposed to be giving
 * Jef will have a writeup to the board by next meeting
 * Paul will be at the Red Hat office in Westford, MA next week and can sit down and work out any of the remaining details with Jeremy, Jesse, Will, etc.
 * FOLLOWUP on 2008-02-26
 * releng has created http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JeremyKatz/SpinChecklist
 * Jef has input from Rahul and plans to start writing a draft
 * FOLLOWUP on 2008-03-04
