(rbergeron, 18:02:48) * Agenda & Format (rbergeron, 18:08:13) * Discussion topic #1: ** What are the problems we would try to solve by changing our user base, and why do we think they are problems? (rbergeron, 18:13:33) * focus ( or perceived focus ) on the desktop is a issue (misc, 18:21:23) * Problem: Too much focus on desktop, to the degree of excuding other obvious target use cases (misc, 18:27:17) * Problem: We don't have relationships with other major downstream users of Fedora (aside from OLPC and RHEL) (gholms, 18:27:25) * Problem: Fedora is perceived as RH-owned/dominated, perhaps causes division in community (misc, 18:27:30) * ACTION: rbergeron to put that list of problems in a blog/mail and ask for other suggestions (gholms, 18:29:32) * Discussion question: What do we think our existing user base looks like, or attracts them to fedora? (rbergeron, 18:29:55) * attracted to philosophy (rbergeron, 18:31:31) * specifically free and open culture, not just free/open software (rbergeron, 18:32:03) * contributing, making spins, attracting/mentoring other contributors (rbergeron, 18:32:10) * EPEL has 2-3x the machines using it than Fedora. They were equal a few years ago. (gholms, 18:36:42) * We have lots of EPEL users, disconnections on how to contribute, why to contribute to Fedora. (rbergeron, 18:38:13) * use Cases (for the heck of it) (rbergeron, 18:52:40) * Wrap-up (rbergeron, 18:56:20) * ACTION: rbergeron to consolidate and put notes on wiki, think about action plan for next week / in-between (rbergeron, 18:57:24) * hopefully obvious use-cases: spins, derivative distributions (RHEL) (rbergeron, 18:58:01) Meeting ended at 19:00:23 UTC.
