Last meeting
Meeting:Board_meeting_2009-12-10
Updates/Installs presentation
- William Jon McCann
- Co-presenter: Christopher Aillon
- pointed back to whiteboard link: Desktop/Whiteboards/UpdateExperience with new added "Impact" section with information from stakeholders
- document doesn't present implementation, but records opinions garnered from current contributors and stakeholders
- General Board consensus is that we do need to establish criteria for updates, and empower FESCo to enforce them
- Lots of spirited discussion around various details of the proposal, with conversation that covered a lot of different issues but the Board is not ready to issue hard guidance yet
- Unclear to what extent current pending changes (NFR, AutoQA) will impact any Fedora user's update experience, or how these changes are currently incorporated in the whiteboard
- The whiteboard correctly identifies several problems but it's not clear that it completely lists root causes
ACTION:
- Enumerate the problems that need to be solved -- as explicitly as possible, no focus on solutions
- Suggested method, repetitive "why" to make sure we're identifying the right root causes
- On list, get owners for each problem from the Board side
- Then solicit ideas for proposed solutions
