If folks are happy with it I will help drive this through FESCo and
Fedora Project board after getting some feedback. Any further comments?
I'm a bit concerned that you've undermined one of the base principles of
my proposal Rahul. I put a lot of thought into *specifically* wording it
so that it could be "signed" by any project. You've now turned it round
and made it Fedora centric, so it doesn't make sense for another repo to
sign. I can't see the sense in that. (It doesn't make sense for Dag, for
example, to sign a statement saying "Fedora Project agrees to XXX").
That's why I repeatedly referred to "the signatories" rather than
"Fedora Project". That's the only way to get a document which multiple
people can all sign up to and make equal committments to. This is
supposed to be a mutual thing.
By all means, it would make sense for
fedoraproject.org to have a
reference to the (neutral) signed agreement and say "this is how we, one
of the signatories, are implementing it". But it doesn't make sense to
change the core doc.
(Incidentally, the implication is that the actual core doc should
probably *not* be on
fedoraproject.org, to avoid confusion. If we get a
final agreed version then I am happy to host it separately)
So I'd prefer it if we could go back to the neutral version.
