+<!--{{admon/warning|CLOSED The questionnaire is not yet open. Please wait for the announcement!}}-->
-# The Fedora Project suffers from a lack of communication. In 2009 for 8 out of 21 FESCo meetings no meeting minutes were sent to the lists. What would you do to improve communication between the different groups in Fedora and especially between FESCo, Board and the community?
