Re: [Ambassadors] The Future of release names

[Jaroslav Reznik]

Hi,
seems like the discussion steered to the phase of no return to the
reasonable output, also it stalled - so we (as a Board) would like
to push it forward.

I think the best idea for now is try to get interested people to 
meet together, to check if there's real demand for the change and
if so, to start with the real proposals to create a new process.

I created Doodle poll - the next two weeks, I can add more option,
just it's not very user friendly. Feel free to vote and we will
see ;-)

Thanks
Jaroslav

The Future of release names

[Jaroslav Reznik]

Well, 
the first week in Doodle was too fast for many people but looking
on Doodle results - Friday 15th 5 PM UTC (1 PM EDT, 7 PM CEST) should
work for all interested people and gives us some time to propagate/
announce it.

Is it still ok for you?

The Future of release names - first meeting on Friday 15th

[Jaroslav Reznik]

Hi,
to move forward with %SUBJ% we scheduled a first meeting. The agenda for this
first meeting should be more the introduction to the problem, to check
the real demand for change and to find out what are our expectations from the
potential change etc. Btw. I'd like to avoid the flame only meeting :)   

When and where (based on Doodle poll)?
Friday, June 15th 5 PM UTC (1 PM EDT, 7 PM CEST) #fedora-meeting-1 channel
(see [1] for schedule).

If you are interested in the future of release names, you enjoy the naming
fun release after release, please, join us! It's not about someone decides
and takes the power but everyone is welcomed.
