Meeting:Board strategic working group 2010-04-05

Roll Call

 * Attendees: Matt Domsch, Paul Frields, Mike McGrath, John Poelstra, Colin Walters, Chris Tyler
 * Last meeting: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Board_strategic_working_group_2010-03-29

User Base

 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Poelstra/What_is_a_target_audience
 * Paul did a new rendering: http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/temp/user-base-diagram2.png (SVG also available)
 * Paul: Can we show impact or pressure or network effects between different groups?
 * John: why is it important to show that?
 * Paul: Could be included in separate diagrams
 * Chris: previous diagram showed a cut-off line and a group that was not in the user base
 * Paul: will look for a better way to include that
 * difficult to make point of "permeable membrane" between participants and non-participants
 * Mike: should we be grouping enthusaists with content creators?
 * Paul: Should just say "Ambassadors" here -- people who don't necessarily create content but are important to the Project
 * Chris: are blue colors to be interpreted as Fedora?
 * Indicates areas we are doing well
 * John: our original goal was to create a diagram that clearly explain https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base what do we need to do next? Are we getting too far off track by focusing on creating a diagram?
 * Chris: It would appear that https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base answers the question of who our target audience is
 * This topic was discussed at length (~ 1.75 hours)
 * While it would be nice to have a default offering that meets everyone's needs, Fedora doesn't have the resources to do that
 * NEXT ACTIONS:
 * Fix first section of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base
 * Members should make edits and changes before end of business on Wednesday
 * Propose https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base for acceptance by the full board
