Everyone, I've been sidetracked by IRL and haven't had the mojo to get the minutes from the last Focus meeting done. And since a few of you have asked for them, and since eMBee suggested that I posted the log, here it is along with my summary (I don't know if the list scrubs attachments):
* Michael K. Johnson's proposal[1] for making 'Boots, a Fedora Remix' a Foresight sub project was accepted 4-1. This means that Boots will be hosted on Foresight infra, which should make it easier for non-rPath people to contribute. ** Paul Cutler mentioned that it is imperative that we clearly differentiate FL3 (from source) from Boots (binary import) in our marketing. ** As part of the Boots discussion, Ken expressed interest in creating a Ubuntu Remix similar to Boots. Paul Cutler noted that perhaps it would be wise to just focus on Boots for now and put the experience gained there to use for a future Ubuntu binary import. * 2.1.2 ISO release: Given how old our current Anaconda installer is and the resulting install issues on newer hardware, António would prefer to not release an ISO for 2.1.2 and instead focus on getting Anaconda up to speed so that we can do a nice 2.2 release w/GNOME 2.28. We will likely do 2-qa/2-devel cuts to make sure we have a working installer. ** In the mean time, Mark Trompell and elliot are making progress with updating Anaconda ** As part of that discussion, there was talk of making the GNOME Dev Kit easily installable in /opt in Foresight, possibly as a package and perhaps even with an easy KVM setup. Currently, the GDK is short on man-power, so if we want to make it a vector for new Foresight developers, we need to lend jesse and bertux a hand. ** Ken voiced his support for the short term goal of focusing on growing the developer base (power users and developers), with the understanding that the long term goal is still to make a distribution for the end user that 'just works'. * Ken asked for the opportunity to detail how his priorities have changed, which as we know has left him with less time to work on Foresight. This will not change for the foreseeable future, but he insisted that he still loves Foresight and that he still considers it 'his baby' as he put it. * The vote for giving members @foresightlinux.org mail-addresses and let them speak on behalf of Foresight-the-project was postponed after it became clear that there isn't consensus on the distinction between being a developer and a member. It was decided to have a discussion on the -devel ML on building the community instead for the time being. * It was decided to migrate the User Guide to the new GNOME documentation tool/format (Mallard) and moving it to a dvcs. Og Maciel has stepped forward and made the UG available at http://github.com/omaciel/foresight-user-guide/tree/master - Paul Cutler noted that he won't be able to drive the effort due to other commitments but will be happy to share his expertise if we have questions. The current UG is in maintenance only mode (version increases, links to online content).
