Are we in 00:25 mins or 1:25 mins? 15:35:06 or even now! 15:35:13 pbrobinson: Now :-/ 15:35:25 jsmith: I can do it (even /me did secretary work week before :D) 15:35:40 jreznik: OK, thanks :-) 15:35:41 * pbrobinson had a head cold and is all over the place today! 15:36:27 * gomix here 15:36:30 Ok, we have a quorum :-) 15:36:43 Let's go ahead and get started 15:36:54 #topic Board business 15:37:14 Let's go ahead and hit a few tickets again this week, and then we'll try to leave a few minutes for Q and A near the end of the meeting 15:37:28 Any particular topics Board members would like to tackle first? 15:38:38 OK, let's go ahead and look at ticket 122 first -- it's a community domain request from indonesia 15:39:16 * jsmith feels like we've covered this one before 15:39:22 jsmith: not sure if there's a ticket for this but did we ever hear back from legal regarding trademarks for use of Fedora by cloud/hosting providers? 15:39:41 jsmith: I thought we did 122 last week 15:40:03 Ah, we did it last week, but didn't close the ticket. 15:40:03 there's been no update in the ticket, fwiw. 15:40:29 i don recall what was the conclusion over it.. 15:40:29 OK, I'll close the ticket. 15:40:38 It was approved in the 15 Nov 2011 meeting 15:41:28 http://id.fedoracommunity.org/ not working yet... who follow this up? 15:41:50 gomix: The requester will need to contact Infrastructure to set that part up 15:41:58 (and I noted that in the ticket) 15:43:10 #info ticket #122 already approved on 15 Nov 2011 meeting, jsmith to update it (with the steps needed to set it up) 15:43:14 pbrobinson: No, still no status update there. I've continued to ask for a status update there, and it's still being worked on. Spot and I may end up traveling to Raleigh in the next couple of weeks to try to finish the discussions. 15:43:20 jreznik: Already done :-) 15:43:27 abadger1999: Any update on ticket 117? 15:43:58 #info Ticket 117 is a request for us to take ownership of the "Fedora" component on Launchpad.net 15:44:02 no answer from launchpad regisstry admins 15:44:10 so we're still waiting on them. 15:44:14 OK, we'll revisit that one in the future then 15:45:22 what about 90 ? 15:45:27 * jsmith looks for other tickets that might need attention 15:45:59 what's the reason having fedora page on launchpad? :) 15:46:01 gomix: non-software goods agreements are also held up pending some answers from Red Hat legal.... We're hoping to have a response on that very soon as well 15:46:29 jreznik: I don't pretend to understand it completely, but apparently it has been there for quite a number of years so far, without an owner. 15:46:49 jreznik: I guess it's so that people can report bugs against Fedora on launchpad.net, but that's just a naive guess on my part 15:47:02 jreznik: launchpad has pages for all sorts of distros -- I don;t know why -- hopefully they'll clarify. 15:47:09 one bugtracker to rule them all 15:47:22 * jsmith hasn't spent enough time on launchpad.net to know 15:47:43 * gomix asking an ubuntu friend about it.... 15:48:09 do we want to be there officially? (not like I'm against launchpad etc.) but if someone is going to take care about page to be updated etc. 15:48:52 jreznik: I don't have any problem with us being there... I would hope that we could use it to redirect folks to a more direct source of information about Fedora, though. 15:48:54 I suggested we just get it deleted, I believe some thought that might not be politically the best thing to do 15:49:33 Well, we certainly want to play nice with other distributions 15:49:50 I guess I'd rather hear from them what they'd prefer we do with it 15:49:58 (or if they're fine with the status quo) 15:50:20 So I'm not sure there's much we can do until we hear back from them. 15:50:34 jsmith: +1 15:50:35 jsmith: yep, first let's see what's the intention of launchpad guys 15:50:41 Anyhoo, looks like this may be a short meeting today. 15:50:51 Any other tickets you want to look at, before we move on to a Q and A session? 15:51:22 as I said - if someone is going to take care about it, I'm ok with it (at least redirect to bz, fpo etc) but otherwise it could be bad for us 15:51:23 ! 15:51:52 bckurera: Go ahead... 15:52:07 #112 need some attention pls 15:52:13 looks like I suck I failed to come up with a proposal re: https://fedorahosted.org/board/ticket/83 , will try to do so this coming week. 15:52:34 * abadger1999 just notes we've now said we're going to try to visit all tickets monthly so we should think about making sure that happens (divide up tickets so we hit a certain number every week,, or something). 15:53:24 #112 looks good, imo, +1 15:53:45 #info ticket #117: let's wait for the answer from launchpad people what distribution pages are about 15:54:29 abadger1999: and it should be assigned to someone by default to do some triage, prepare it for meeting 15:54:41 similar to fesco what I saw 15:54:55 * jsmith is +1 for ticket #112, assuming there's consensus among the lk community on the site 15:54:56 jreznik: Sounds good to me. 15:55:11 * pbrobinson is +1 for #112 too 15:55:24 * gomix is +1 for ticket #112 15:55:54 * jds2001 arrives, sorry for being late 15:56:03 Looks like we've got 4 votes in the positive for ticket #112 15:56:08 Any other votes? 15:56:18 (we need five votes for majority approval) 15:56:38 +1 15:56:48 OK, ticket 112 is approved 15:56:54 I'll update the ticket and close it. 15:57:09 #info ticket 112 approved 15:57:26 count my +1 too (late I know) 15:57:50 No worries... 15:57:57 I know the sri lanka community had some internal miscommunication recently -- has this request been run by the others in the community? 15:58:45 abadger1999: I sent a couple of emails around, and nobody responded... I'm assuming no news is good news 15:58:54 Okay -- silence is consent 15:58:58 abadger1999: If there is a concern there, we can always address it later 15:59:15 /me just would rather not get into a tug of war with a domain name in the middle 15:59:22 Agreed... 15:59:30 +1 to ticket 16:00:03 #topic Appointed Board seats 16:00:16 Let's shift gears for a second, and talk about appointed Board seats 16:00:38 As you probably know, each election cycle the FPL appoints two of the Board seats 16:00:44 (one before the election, and one afterward) 16:01:05 Since the election is getting close, it's time for me to announce the first of the two appointed seats for this cycle 16:01:32 Toshio (abadger1999) has agreed to serve another cycle on the Board in an appointed seat 16:01:53 * jsmith thanks abadger1999 for his willingness to serve, and his continued efforts to make the Board better 16:02:04 I'll send a note to the announce list after the meeting 16:02:26 I'll announce the other appointed seat after the elections. 16:02:30 abadger1999: congrats! 16:02:41 thanks 16:02:42 jsmith: best choice, really 16:03:19 I'm still actively seeking nominations for the other appointed seat -- so if you or someone you know is interested, now would be the time to let me know :-) 16:03:41 Now let's leave some time for Q and A 16:03:43 abadger1999: thanks for being there! 16:03:43 #info abadger1999 will be appointed for next Fedora Board cycle by FPL 16:03:59 #topic Questions and Answer session 16:05:19 * ke4qqq shows up late 16:05:36 ke4qqq: No worries... 16:05:50 all: see the IRC meeting protocol http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/IRC#General_Rules 16:05:53 ke4qqq: We're doing open Q and A now 16:06:00 Participants may only speak when it is their turn.
