User:Walters/SpinsSigsRemixes TargetAudience

Can Spins/SIGS or Fedora remixes define their own target audience?

Background

The Board has been working on defining a target audience for Fedora. In response to this, some people feel that Fedora should allow sub-groups to define their own target audience. Or even more strongly that Spins/SIGs should be the only groups defining target audience; in other words, the Board should not be defining one. An example mail supporting this position is this mail from Toshio.

However, the potential conflict between a Board target audience and a SIG target audience is still theoretical. No SIG appears to have explicitly disagreed with the "working" target audience proposal.

Possible Solutions

1. Board sets target audience broadly, spins tailor to a subset thereof.
2. Board sets target audience broadly, spins tailor to either a subset thereof, or to additional audiences outside that scope so long as there are no conflicts.
3. Board does not set target audience, leaves it to each Spin to set their specific target audience.
   1. requires spins to be much more than consumers of Fedora content.
   2. audience of some spins may overlap. That's OK.
   3. audience of some spins may technically conflict. How to resolve conflicts? Spins SIG -> FESCo -> Board.
