Yesterday the Fedora Board held a weekly meeting via telephone. Main topics were GSoC as we are looking for a volunteer, review Board members goals and we went through a few tickets, some of them the real old ones.

== Meeting Notes == * Trademarks update ** No update at the moment
* GSoC ** How many people did we have last summer? ** We need someone (or more than one) who is happy to commit for the full duration of the program ** Robyn to write blog post about needing a volunteer to wrangle GSoC, get time estimate from Karsten by tomorrow ** Gomix will try to involve some people from rpmdev latam area (Nushio was at GSoC last year AFAIK)
* Board Goals ** Going to write these up on: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board_personal_goals
** Rudi *** Help to streamline the docs publishing process *** Process is somewhat cumbersome *** http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Automating_publishing *** Multifaceted including a number of teams *** Focusing on procedural *** Infrastructure - hw requests, testing etc. *** Gomix working on new docs in not english as first language, just as a reminder on procedures for such kind of documents (as SMG).
** Rex *** Try to sponsor over the next release cycle sponsor/mentor 3 new contributors *** Small goal due to time contraint with aim for quality new contributors
** Christoph *** the question is - how to make the three different election guidelines more streamlined, to have one common guideline (from the Board member perspective) *** to have someone from FESCo to cooperate on this task, Christoph to go with FAmSCo
* Ticket #130 - The Board less of a single point of failure ** Toshio added a section on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/sopa-post-mortem ** He's busy until March 15th, will fill it in then or someone else can work on it first
* Ticket #133 - Fedora LTS and rolling release ** sounds like a question whether Red Hat would be interested to help with? ** LTS for Fedora versions that will become RHEL later (but not overlapping with RHEL?) ** What is the question to put to Red Hat? ** What would Red Hat be willing to provide towards implementing a Fedora LTS? *** More hardware to Fedora for hosting packages, building, etc? *** More infrastructure system admins to maintain the hardware? *** Pay engineers to work on their packages throughout the lifecycle of the LTS?
* Ticket #80 - Ways to improve Board Q&A * Ticket #89 - Discuss possible support burden from Fedora Remixes ** very old ticket, close and ask Jóhann for more input
* There are several TM tickets
* https://fedorahosted.org/board/ticket/117 - Suggestion regarding to Fedora on Launchpad.net ** Christoph to take the ticket to contact Launchpad again to clarify the use of it
* https://fedorahosted.org/board/ticket/83 - revisit updates vision ** the idea was to revisit update vision language after a release/two (how does it work) ** "... only fix bugs and security issues" language, reported by Rex
=== Open Floor === * CoC enforcement ** http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_working_group/CoC_Enforcement ** open ended to be flexible, case by case
* Robyn will be gone for next week's IRC meeting ** Jaroslav Reznik will run next week's IRC meeting * Toshio will be gone for the next two weeks
