Board Ticket #77

 * Trademark approval for a website with fedora in the name.

Community Working Group

 * If interested, see logs for full discussion. There was discussion about what role the Board members would like to see the CWG do and how the Board would like to see the CWG composed in the future but the Board felt they needed input from the CWG as to what the CWG wanted to do next rather than pushing something onto them that they didn't want.
 * jsmith to ask CWG what they see as their role for the future.

Brainstorming tactical goals for F16/F17

 * Due to lack of time, this will be talked about on the FAB list rather than in the Board meeting
