It is explained on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Defining_projects that a project is defined by the Fedora Project Board (or by the project board for a sub-project). I don't recall the board nor FESCo telling that EPEL is a project, so I guess it is a SIG, but FESCo people would certainly remember better than me. However, it may also be that these things are not that clear, since the Packaging project is not listed on: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects though it doesn't seems to be the same than the Distribution project, and it is listed in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Defining_projects as being a main project. EPEL is something like cross-cutting in Packaging, Infrastructure. Maybe EPEL could be seen as a SIG under both Packaging and Infrastructure. Still it is a special SIG, since it is broader than usual SIGs, and is focused on a derivative distro of Fedora, but not based on current Fedora. It is similar with OLPC, in my opinion, but OLPC doesn't appear anywhere. Also I may be the only one, but I am not a member of Fedora anymore (at least not a member of the Fedora Packaging Group), but I am still in EPEL, this is not clear that it would be possible in a normal SIG. There is a page for EPEL as a SIG: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/SIG but it is a page that I haven't updated much when I updated the wiki, and it shows obsolete information. I am not sure about the list of the SIG members, for example. -- Pat _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
