Meeting:Board strategic working group 2010-04-05

Roll Call

• Attendees: Matt Domsch, Paul Frields, Mike McGrath, John Poelstra, Colin Walters, Chris Tyler
• Last meeting: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Board_strategic_working_group_2010-03-29

User Base

• https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Poelstra/What_is_a_target_audience
• Paul did a new rendering: http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/temp/user-base-diagram2.png (SVG also available)
• Paul: Can we show impact or pressure or network effects between different groups?
  • John: why is it important to show that?
    • Paul: Could be included in separate diagrams
• Chris: previous diagram showed a cut-off line and a group that was not in the user base
  • Paul: will look for a better way to include that
    • difficult to make point of "permeable membrane" between participants and non-participants
• Mike: should we be grouping enthusaists with content creators?
  • Paul: Should just say "Ambassadors" here -- people who don't necessarily create content but are important to the Project
• Chris: are blue colors to be interpreted as Fedora?
  • Indicates areas we are doing well
• John: our original goal was to create a diagram that clearly explain https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base what do we need to do next? Are we getting too far off track by focusing on creating a diagram?
  • Chris: It would appear that https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base answers the question of who our target audience is
• This topic was discussed at length (~ 1.5 hours)
• While it would be nice to have a default offering that meets everyone's needs, Fedora doesn't have the resources to do that
• NEXT ACTIONS:
  1. Fix first section of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base
     • Members should make edits and changes before end of business on Wednesday
  2. Propose https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base for acceptance by the full board
