Re: [Ambassadors] Formal request for approval of the multi-desktop DVD (Re: Board meeting recap, 2010 10-18)
by Sascha Thomas Spreitzer
Hello,
my opinion is:
1. There is no legal/contract/agreement/signed thing as of law
requirements, that any contributor must obey board decisions
( As the fedora project is no incorporation of any form the, Fedora
board is not put into force of any legal form or body. )
( FP members/contributors have not signed any contract/agreement which
puts any force upon them. )
2. There is no legal requirement that EMEA ambassadors are in the need
of any approval at all.
= EMEA Ambassadors proceeding with their freedom of contribution ->
spread media as they wish
PS.:
One might argue the force to decide this comes with the trademark
rights, which are involved.
But, then it would be clear, it is a RedHat decision.
best wishes,
Sascha

Portable mirror?
by Scott Williams
We have a request from SCaLE:
"we're looking to provide a distro. mirror on site during the show, do
you think Fedora as a group would be able to provide a machine, NAS
device or media (DVDs, USB, etc.)?"
A Fedora 14 DVD/USB would suffice, but for the sake of a mirror this is
not an ideal medium. Would we be able to bring a dedicated box to serve
Fedora mirrors on LAN at the event?

FAD at SCaLE
by Scott Williams
We're hoping to have another Fedora Ambassadors day on the Friday
before SCaLE as we have done in the past. Typically, this has been a
day when we focus on a specific thing and make progress on it. Last
year, we did documentation for the Google Summer of Code, and before
that we have done font packaging.
What should we do this year?

The list only memtions the Tc, but nether TC1 and TC2 not the fact that
TC2 does not include live media.

What is there to test for a boot menu? What would a test plan look like.
Boot all menu entries and you are done.

I have written them but no reply so far.

Is there anything unclear about it?

This sounds a little vague to me. Can you please outline your concerns a
little deeper? AFAICS they apply to the other spins too as they also
have a boot menu.
What is the difference between shipping 8 single media and one dual
layer DVD? The only difference is the boot menu.
Please correct me if I'm wrong,
Christoph
