  • Reference: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/Meetings/2008-feb-11
  • People are still not clear on exactly what is required to create an official "Fedora Spin"
  • Need a clear list of guidelines of what a spin owner is responsible for and what they are required to test
  • Hoping a test will come from Jeremy Katz as part of feedback from release engineering
