Spins Process

Spins Process

Summary

1. User submits a spin (kickstart and introduction) to the Spins SIG mailing list at fedora-spins -at- lists.fedoraproject.org, and creates a Spin Page (from the New Spin Page Template).
   • This page is added to category Incomplete_Spins.
   • When the page is ready for review, the page is added to category Spins_Ready_for_Wrangler
2. Spins Wrangler reviews the Spin Page
   • If accepted, adds it to category Spins_Ready_for_SIG and removes the page from categories Incomplete_Spins and Spins_Ready_for_Wrangler
   • If not accepted, removes the page from category Spins_Ready_for_Wrangler
3. Spins SIG reviews the Spin
   • If the Spin is accepted by the Spins SIG, the page is added to category Spins_Ready_for_Board
   • If the Spin is not accepted by the Spins SIG, the page is removed from the Spins_Ready_for_SIG category, and goes back to category Incomplete_Spins
4. The Fedora Project Board decides on Trademark approval (rubber stamp)
   • If the Fedora Project Board approves Trademark usage for the Spin, the Spin Page is added to category Spins_Fedora_X, and removed from category Spins_Ready_for_Board.
5. Notifications are sent to interested parties (Spins SIG responsibility):
   • The maintainer(s) submitting the Spin
   • Fedora QA
   • Fedora Release Engineering
   • Fedora Infrastructure

• A draft diagram (ugly colors and bad formatting) is here: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/misc/spins-process-flow-v1.png
  • note how astonishingly similar it is to the Feature process ;-)
