STATUS:

UPDATE:

UPDATE:
- Wiki page created here: Website_redesign_2009
- Paul has filled it in somewhat
- Need some official word from Board that mockups are approved thus far
ACTION:
- Set up IRC meeting next week (2009-08-27 UTC 1600 proposed) to go over them with Mo Duffy (& possibly Ricky Zhou)
- Paul to make announcement

Dennis directed the Board to http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2009-08/msg00548.html
- OpenSUSE will default to a KDE desktop radio button selection in DVD installer
- Fedora doesn't have such a stance on KDE
- At a previous meeting the Fedora Board made a decision to make the download page less confusing for end-users
ACTIONS:
- Dennis to extend invitation to KDE SIG to attend the IRC meeting (see above) when the design of the new web pages will be discussed further
- Encourage people who disagree with the current proposed design to bring constructive suggestions for improvement within the requirements already specified and discussed on fedora-advisory-board

ACTIONS:
- Update on process to FAB for transparency
- Monitors to issue quarterly reports

(mmcgrath) Who approves different spins?
- Mike would like to treat net install like a spin and make a page for it, post-F12
- Spins could potentially move to mirror space soon now that we have more space
- (group answer) The spins SIG does technical approval, and the Board approves trademarks
- The purpose is to better market the net installation ISO for general use
No Board action needed, just FYI and information gathering

Proposed: 2009-08-27 UTC 1600
