[Ambassadors] APAC Ambassador Meeting 2012-08-04 Minutes

[Uditha Bandara Wijerathna]

Yes Buddhika I accept that. That is not what I'm trying to tell there. The
case is like this, suppose we try to update or install bunch of packages
using yum with fastestmirror plugin. Most of the time it'll swap between
few mirrors because the connection to that mirror is not stable. Even
though people know about this mirror, most of them are not using it as
their primary update source. :)
Thumbs up for the mirror list idea.
