Spins Process
Summary
- User submits a spin (kickstart and introduction) that complies with the Spins Guidelines 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
- 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
- Spins SIG reviews the Spin
- Review Checklist
- Voting members of the Spins SIG are made up of representatives from: QA, Release Engineering, Infrastructure and FESCo
- 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
- The Fedora Project Board grants or denies Trademark approval
- If the Fedora Project Board grants Trademark usage for the Spin, the Spin Page is added to category Spins_Fedora_X, and removed from category Spins_Ready_for_Board.
