 * Board removes its original requirement that the MinGW packages be separated from the main Fedora repos though may revisit in the future if issues arise
 * Board continues to leave ongoing implementation details to FESCo

Artwork in Fedora

 * Recent email threads on fedora-desktop-list@redhat.com
 * Discussion centered around who is responsible for the "look and feel" of Fedora
 * Look of default icon set of distribution is important because it does makes a first impression on new users
 * Where does Fedora define "Upstream Fedora Artwork" to exist?
 * Is Fedora specific art work considered to be working "upstream" or does such an "upstream" exist?
 * The Board is ultimately responsible for the look and feel of Fedora but would like it to be clear that it has delegated this responsibility to the Fedora Art Team
 * Historically this was FESCo's responsibility
 * https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2007-July/msg00154.html
 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SteeringCommittee/Meeting-20070726#Nodoka_Theme
 * When FESCo recently re-evaluated its role it retained many of its previous responsibilities, but did not exclicity retain responsibility over the look and feel of Fedora. As a result this responsibility reverted to the Fedora Board.

 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SteeringCommittee/Meeting-20080612
 * There were no dissenting votes to the following resolution:
 * RESOLUTION
 * FESCo has previously delegated the responsibility to determine the look and feel of Fedora to the Artwork team, and the Board continues to support that decision
 * The Artwork team, like any other Fedora team, should work with other groups to develop consensus on look and feel discussions
 * The Artwork team should formally decide whether or not Echo should be the default icon set in Fedora 10
