(note: briefly edited by Matt for readability) [15:36] mspevack (i=mspevack@fedora/mspevack) joined #fedora-board. [15:36] Topic changed on #fedora-board by mspevack!i=mspevack@fedora/mspevack: Board meeting 2006-12-01 @ 5:00 PM EST [15:38] Topic changed on #fedora-board by mspevack!i=mspevack@fedora/mspevack: Board meeting 2006-12-01 @ 17:00 EST (22:00 GMT) [15:55] Action: mspevack dials in [16:20] notting (i=notting@redhat/notting) joined #fedora-board. [16:23] mdomsch (n=mdomsch@66-90-165-146.dyn.grandenetworks.net) joined #fedora-board. [16:25] anyway, we're talking about Fedora Infrastructure Leader position right now [16:26] mspevack, mdomschbot will have them after the call [16:33] other topic -- max has been charged with continuing to figure out how Fedora can be used to produce other revenue streams for Red Hat, which can continue to lead to increased revenue for Red Hat [16:34] Matt -- 2 ideas -- 1, a live CD for people to demo RHEL [16:34] how much work is a liveCD of rhel5? [16:34] and increased revenue for Fedora [16:34] as Fedora continues to provide Value, Red Hat continues to up the funding for Fedora. There is *no discussion* about reducing any funding for Fedora, only discussion of how we can create more value to continue to spend more on Fedora [16:35] 2 - mirror management [16:35] matt - yes, very much so. that's something for the guy we hire :) [16:36] maybe, I think it needs to happen in the next 2 months so its ready for F*7 betas [16:36] another idea -- hardware metrics, market share comparisons for arches we ship in Fedora versus arches we don't. [16:37] another idea -- RHEL blockers for Fedora stuff vs. non-Fedora stuff. Will x86 dominate the list just because it's x86? [16:39] mirror management -- single fastest way for us to impact the total cost of Fedora [16:40] mether (n=ask@fedora/mether) joined #fedora-board. [16:41] mspevack: ping [16:42] mether: pong [16:42] mspevack: is the meeting in progress [16:42] yes, it is [16:42] we're talking right now about different ideas of how to manage bandwidth cost [16:44] f13 (n=jkeating@fedora/ender) joined #fedora-board. [16:44] was there anything more needed from me? [16:44] at some point soon, fedora is going to need to split its mirror situation from Red Hat's [16:44] f13: nope, feel free to han gout though :-) [16:44] mspevack: Fedora infrastructure is workin gon that. [16:44] self service mirror tools for registering and deregistring to mirror content [16:44] which would autofeed mirror source files [16:45] account system is tied to an individual, mirror system to a "role at an organization" [16:46] bill -- thinking about what splitting Fedora/RHAT mirrors would entail from a hardware perspective [16:46] seth -- red hat's mirror is small compared to Fedora [16:47] seth -- worth pitching that Fedora takes the master mirror system and red hat splits out a mirror? [16:48] possibly [16:48] blizzard -- another good thing to bring along is trying to estimate the value of the mirrors [16:48] how much investment are we getting from mirrors? [16:49] and then Red Hat can ask Fedora to mirror things from time to time, like OLPC, or other projects. [16:49] mspevack: invaluable [16:49] having stats from the mirrors [16:49] would be needed [16:49] seth -- if Fedora Infra takes over mirrors, it gives us a chance to have a better relationship with them [16:49] mspevack: without our mirror system releases of Fedora become very difficult to accomplish [16:53] f13, we clearly value our mirror system - we just need to give it some love :-) [16:55] heh [16:55] Action: f13 leaves to baby wrangle. [17:02] topic: CLA needed to edit wiki [17:03] could move docs and beats to a new cla_wiki_group [17:04] problem is all about copyright assignment of content posted on the wiki [17:04] bill - process of getting into wiki edit group is the problem - not the CLA [17:05] greg - lets streamline the process [17:05] greg - single sign on will help [17:06] greg - wants wiki to be more open [17:06] seth - but its still all about copyright assignment [17:06] paul - must have (c) assignment in order to re-license [17:07] seth -- once again I talk about COPYRIGHT ASSIGNMENT [17:09] max -- we need to get mark webbink into one of our meetings with a list of all the topics that we need for him [17:13] greg -- how many folks dislike the CLA really? [17:17] discussing when to hold the next meeting [17:19] every Tuesday, alternating between 10:00 and 5:00 eastern time [17:19] starting with 10:00 this coming tuesday
