= Fedora Project Board Meeting :: Tuesday 2008-09-09 =

Roll Call
Attendees: Everyone on #fedora-board-meeting

Codecs (2008-05-13)
RESOLUTION:
 * 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
 * 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 438225) 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
 * 1) ACTION :: Paul - request feature page from developer
 * 2) FESCo should track bug 438225 since this falls into their mandate
 * FOLLOWUP (2008-08-05):
 * Feature page still in the works and FESCo is tracking bug 438225
 * FOLLOWUP (2008-09-09):
 * Paul Frields has pinged the RPM dev team again about that feature page, but having difficulty reaching them
 * Panu has said that he will handle bug 438225

Trademark Guidelines (2008-07-01)

 * Board would like to help guide the process of expanding the use of the Fedora trademark
 * Helpful to brainstorm by thinking of Fedora trademark usage in four ways:
 * 1) Things the board wants Fedora to be able to do with the trademark
 * 2) Things the board wants the Fedora community to be able to freely do with trademark
 * 3) Things the board wants other people to reasonably be expected to be able to do, but ask the Fedora Board first
 * 4) Things that the board never wants people to use the Fedora trademark for
 * OWNER: Paul Frields
 * ACTIONS:
 * circulate ideas and foster discussion on fedora-advisory-board@redhat.com list
 * return feedback to the board for discussion on: 2008-08-05
 * Latest updates: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pfrields/NewTrademarkGuidelines (see also discussion tab)
 * FOLLOW-UP (2008-08-05):
 * Board definitely wants a Fedora trademark of some sorts for spins and other uses--derivative works
 * Still unsure on how best to proceed on issues related to:
 * official spins
 * unofficial spins
 * branded USB keys
 * OEM pre-loads
 * Fedora business cards
 * Fedora apparel and conference materials (see section on Non-software goods)
 * Everyone should add uncovered use cases to wiki page (see above) ASAP
 * Paul Frields will be working with Red Hat Legal starting this week to move the process forward
 * FOLLOW-UP (2008-09-09):
 * RH Legal is reviewing them and the newest state of that page incorporates their most recent review
 * would really like to have that wrapped up by the end of the month if at all possible.
 * Related discussion about SELinux being required for spins
 * This should not block or impact trademark work
 * Will add a section to trademark guidelines to encompass issues like SELinux under using the wording "pursuant to other technical requirements"
 * ACTIONS:
 * Continue discussion about SELinux on fedora-advisory-board@redhat.com list
 * Release Engineering and Spins SIG should draw up minimum technical requirements to use the Fedora name
