REMINDER: Fedora Ambassadors NA meeting tonight!
by Scott McBrien 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi everyone, Just wanted to remind the NA ambassadors that there's a meeting tonight in #fedora-meeting at 9:00p EST. The big topic of conversation is whether we want to drop producing Fedora Install DVD media for distribution, and produce live-isos only for distribution at shows and whatnot. So form your opinions and weigh in this evening. See you all there. -Scott

Find below what I plan to sent to the candidates this evening at something like 19:00 UTC. If you dislike something please comment until then in a way to make sure we don't further delay things (yes, I know, that is a tight schedule, but I thought a RFC period of 12 hours is better then none). tia! CU knurd === Main questions === # What is ''The Fedora Project'' to you? # What do you consider to be Fedora's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raison_d%27%C3%AAtre raison d'etre]? # Where do you see the project in one years? # Where do you see the project in two years? # Do you see a long-term goal or a "target audience" Fedora should strive for? # What part of the Fedora project would you change, given total power to do so? # Please name three things you plan to work on and realize while being on the Committee you run for! # How would you measure your success as an elected member? # What are your unique strengths and what are your weaknesses? ==== Committee specific questions: Board ==== # Suppose a user/contributor brings up an issue that bothers an important fraction of Fedora community and he proposes a change in the default behavior of Fedora; but either you don't have personal interest in that area, or (as a user) the issue doesn't bother you. How would you approach the problem? ==== Committee specific questions: FAmSCo ==== # What would you be doing to ensure that as a body FAmSCo is communicating more with its constituents ? # What things should be done to promote Fedora in countries where there is little or no Fedora presence, and how you see FAmSCo can support those initiatives? # Do you see any shortcomings in the mentoring overall process? What do you want to change in that process? ==== Committee specific questions: FESCo ==== # Do you feel that a Fedora release should have a more conservative update policy than rawhide, and if so what types of updates do you feel are acceptable to a stable Fedora release? # Suppose a user/contributor brings up an issue that bothers an important fraction of Fedora community and he proposes a change in the default behavior of Fedora; but either you don't have personal interest in that area, or (as a user) the issue doesn't bother you. How would you approach the problem? === More questions === # Why are you a member of the Fedora project? # Please mention if you are running for re-election or not. Further: If you are running for re-election, what are the things that you promised but could not do? Why so? What are you planning to prevent a recurrence? If you are running for the first time, in your opinion, what are the things that the previous committee could do but couldn't/didn't? # What is the most important part of the Fedora the distribution? (IE, Desktop, FEL, AOS) # From your perspective what is it that Fedora brings to linux distros that is unique and original? What sets Fedora apart?
