Alpha is planned* for August, release for the end of October. 16:36:59 yes, that is current schedule 16:37:27 ok, it is a bit early, but I think we can start thinking about it 16:37:55 tuanta: what kind of major changes do you expect? 16:38:09 then we may finalize those changes during Flock 16:38:34 honestly, I have no ideas now :( 16:38:47 ^^ 16:39:08 I have not started thinking about it yet 16:39:57 we may need to discuss it on mailing list and IRC 16:40:29 for sure ambassadors need to update their knowledge, and that's the reason why we try to make ambassadors also join other teams. 16:40:55 * cwickert was busy with work 16:41:13 I don't think that much will change with Fedora.next 16:41:17 this can also be done with specific mailing on the ambassadors ML, whne the time will come 16:41:23 robyduck, yes, we have been getting that way 16:41:40 I mean, if an ambassadors follows the process of Fedora.next, they know what to talk about 16:41:49 cwickert: +1 16:41:53 * cwickert is plannig to do a session about this at FLOCK 16:41:53 should we open a new Trac ticket to get people involved to this topic 16:42:00 +1 cwickert 16:42:03 I think a mail will do 16:42:11 but it's too early 16:42:20 for those who don't follow anything we can provide the fedora.next slides, just to update them. 16:42:21 lets first discuss this in famsco 16:42:30 yup 16:42:30 I think we should come up with some guidance 16:42:42 +1 cwickert 16:42:52 like "everything an ambassador needs to know about Fedora.next" or so 16:42:55 I will draft something 16:43:02 we should make some guidelines for ambassadors 16:43:11 I like this idea 16:43:12 please be careful 16:43:21 no guidelines in the sense of red tape 16:43:33 we want to give them talking points, no new rules 16:43:41 yes 16:43:49 got your point 16:44:05 #action item cwickert to draft some talking points about Fedora.next for Ambassadors 16:44:31 should we have there versions for Workstation, Server and Cloud? 16:44:38 I will send them to famsco list and after some discussion we can send them to the ambassadors list 16:44:41 s/there/three 16:44:46 tuanta: I don't think so 16:45:23 this is up to the working groups to define. the ambassadors need to understand what Fedora.next is about, the greater concept but not all the technical details 16:45:30 ok, just draft it, then we can have a point to start discussing 16:45:42 they are not set in stone yet and will be mentioned in the release notes anyway 16:45:58 I would like to focus on encouragement and governanve 16:46:02 governance* 16:46:14 in the past, we had something like that for previous releases 16:46:29 we will have that, too, don't worry 16:46:49 things like this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_talking_points 16:46:55 exactly 16:47:02 great 16:47:10 but this comes later, we first need to answer questions like "what benefits does Fedora.next offer (for me as ambassador)" 16:47:32 ok 16:47:56 I think matthew has some good material, let's see what I can borrow 16:48:22 yes, that's a good point 16:50:10 btw, this is latest Flock update: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/flock-planning/2014-May/000363.html 16:50:30 sponsorship has not been done yet 16:50:50 any more for today? 16:51:23 I will end the meeting in a minute 16:52:53 endmeeting 16:52:58 #endmeeting
