Board Goals

• Reminding folks that the Fedora Board (with feedback from FAmSCo and FESCo and other groups) came up with three strategic goals for the Fedora 16 and Fedora 17 development cycles:
  • Improve and simplify collaboration in the Fedora Community
  • Improve and encourage high-quality communication in the Fedora Community
  • It is extraordinarily easy to join the Fedora community and quickly find a project to work on.
• That's the "strategy" -- let's remind people to work on the tactical side of the goals

Board Blog

• Toshio brought up the question of what to do with the Board blog
• At a minimum, we should restore the archive to a wordpress instance
• Continue to blog significant board discussions/agreements rather than every thing discussed

Action Items

None
