https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Board_meeting_2012-07-11 Meeting: Board meeting 2012-07-11 == Attendance == Present: Eric Christensen Peter Robinson Robyn Bergeron Garrett Holmstrom Toshio Kuratomi Jaroslav Reznik John Rose Nick Bebout (late) Absent: Christoph Wickert David Nalley Today's lucky secretary: John Rose ==Minutes== ===Announcements & welcoming new folks=== * Congratulate Jaroslav on his new role as Fedora Program Manager ===Follow-up: Release naming process=== * Come up with new processes for suggesting release names * Concern that some proposals are too narrow to be "fun" * Is "Having a theme" is a proposal or is "The theme is names of trees" a proposal? * Some think that having a new art theme each release makes Fedora fun for consumers to "look" at each release. * Critique about current proposals -- should include who/how names would be chosen. For instance, with most theme proposals, there really isn't a need for people to vote on choices like "redwood, sequoia, or oak" every release * Action: Eric Christensen to start conversation on the board list on release name process and rules to be taken to the community for input. ===New thread: Clarifying fedora positions=== * http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2012-July/011709.... * Board is interested in listing the roles and responsibilities within Fedora but doesn't see the value in specifically listing who is employing them. ** Many roles are created by a person interested in the role, not necessarily by someone being hired * Action: Robyn and Jaroslav to document the responsibilities of the Program Manager Role ===Secure Boot ticket=== * Topics ** FSF criticism of being able to run a non-third party dependent service: *** Users should be able to run this without the MS key. *** Be able to give people a key that they can import into their UEFI *** Have a shim that is signed by our key *** Questions about whether we can have the installer give the choice or detect which signed shim was needed for a system that it is installing on ** Legal documentation *** What are our terms of service with MS for the key? *** Multiple people unhappy with not having a document that lays out ways that a key gets blacklisted, and so forth. Makes people worried about that the key signer doesn't have to treat all signed keys equally. ** Fairness *** Desire to mitigate the unfairness to third party repos/remixes where possible *** Tools and documentation for how to generate keys in Fedora that can be imported into UEFI *** Answer to what pjones meant when saying we could build tools to import keys (into the kernel?) and whether we can use that to mitigate unfairness ===Open Floor / Your suggestion here / Who's got good news?=== === Next meeting: IRC, 2012-07-18 === https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board_public_IRC_meetings [[Category:Board meetings]]
