FUDCon Boston

 * Thoughts and take-aways for next time
 * Wondering if Red Hat Summit helped or hurt
 * We didn't have a lot to show the "drive-bys" from the Summit who came by the hackfest session
 * What about having a much larger booth as part of the exhibitors floor similar to LinuxTag?
 * Summit does provide the advantage of having more Red Hat people on hand
 * Really difficult for people to do two events at the same time
 * Surprised at number of first time people that came to FUDCon
 * Carry additional discussion items to fedora-advisory-board@redhat.com mailing list
 * What could be a better FUDCon ?

Fedora Organizational Structure (2008-06-03)

 * Joint meeting with Board and FESCo held on 2008-06-09
 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Meetings/2008-06-09
 * Proposed roles: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pfrields/Drafts/Roles
 * The board has not change its stance that FESCo owns the feature process
 * Lengthy discussion about the path forward
 * Board is waiting for detailed write-up from FESCo from meeting on 2008-06-12
 * NEXT STEPS:
 * Board to update wiki page describing its role
 * Board agrees with FESCo's defined role as defined: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SteeringCommittee/Meeting-20080612
 * Board asks FESCo to update wiki page described

Codeina (2008-05-13)

 * 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
 * RESOLUTION:
 * 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 438255) 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
 * Revisit progress of Bug 438225 thirty days from now

Secondary Architectures

 * Put forward by Bill Nottingham for 2008-06-10 agenda
 * ia64 is close to coming online and two issues need to be resolved to move forward:
 * 1) Packages are signed with a fedora-ia64 specific key and the repository keys are hard coded in the fedora-release package as the main Fedora and Fedora beta keys.
 * 2) The download baseurl (outside of the mirror lists, which are correctly handled) will be at secondary.fedoraproject.org (or whatever).  Therefore they can not spin a release from Fedora packages.
 * RESOLUTION: No discussion. This is a technical issue to be resolved by FESCo (if necessary) and not the board.

Future Business (discuss at a future meeting)

 * Next meet with be public IRC meeting with the board
 * Paul to send out announcement and coordinate IRC channels and moderator
