From the advisory-board list -- the Mobility talking point needs some
changes. Can someone take this small task on?
Hey hey hey, look who's volunteering ;) Copying Peter in case he's not
on the marketing list or following it religiously
So - I guess I have a few questions here, as well as comments.
Questions first!
* MeeGo is also listed on Feature List [1]. Does that need to be
removed? Renamed?
* On the MeeGo feature page [2] there is something saying that you can
do a yum install meego-netbook from rawhide. Is this still the case?
Could we possibly call this something along the lines of a mobility
spin tech preview? (I'm not sure what all the technical details are
here, which is probably safer for us all anyway :D - just trying to
figure out how to distinguish the naming of what we *are* going to
have, at least pieces of anyhow.)
* I guess I need a bit of handholding as far as the software we're
talking about. Is that the software referenced in the MeeGo page like
Clutter, GUPnP, and libsocialweb?
Comments second:
* I'm really sad to see this one go. I don't know if anyone else
noticed but the amount of highlighting this feature / spin got was
probably more abundant than anything else. MeeGo was specifically
mentioned in a number of the article titles in news that came out
around Beta time, as you can see in the press archives. [3] I really
appreciate all the work that Peter and everyone else have done on
this, and I hope we can work out the issues for next time around!

In talking with Peter Robinson, it seems like we're headed down the
pick another name not using the MeeGo mark road. I'm assuming we're
going to to call the spin something like the Fedora Mobility spin.
I'm copying Peter on this, so that he can help fill us in on his
plans.
If anything still needs to change to the spin to make this happen we are
getting very late in the game. I would expect if anything further was
needed from the design team it would also be pretty late.
The wiki has a bit more slack time, but if it needs to change, I'd rather
know sooner than later so I don't have to do a fire drill right before
some deadline.
Peter had earlier proposed stripping the MeeGo logo (since we wouldn't
want to trip over their trademarks) and using a standard Fedora logo.
I'm not sure any technical changes need to made other than that, and
it might in fact be done already.
Calling it the Mobility spin would cause a content changed on the
spins.fp.o website, but that also seems like it's not a ton of work,
although Peter might want a Design person to rework the graphics for
that page.
I would like to call it Fedora Mobility Netbook but the spin isn't
ready so I think we can just drop it all together for this release.
Lately it seems there's a lot of contention upstream and there's other
code related things that are causing problems and over the last couple
of months I've just not had the time to dedicate to it.
So for F-14 the spin formally known as MeeGo can be forgotten (very
unfortunately), I hope to get a remix at some point but that will
remain to be seen.
Peter -- sorry to hear that. A couple points I wanted to make:
* We have a talking point currently listed for the Mobility spin. It
makes sense to me for the Marketing team to change that to simply
mention inclusion of some software from the MeeGo project in Fedora,
without reference to a spin at this time.
* Are you interested in using the upcoming FUDCon in Tempe to
evangelize for Mobility, Sugar, etc.? I think it'd be a good
opportunity since we'll have student attendees from ASU.
* Are there specific tasks laid out somewhere that the Board and
contributors like myself could point out to someone who wanted to
help, like a blocker bug list, wiki page, or something like that?
I'd love to bring some more hands in to help, and it's super-helpful
if I can point them to a list like that.
