Creation of Live DVD SIG and spin

[Aditya Patawari]

I was just reading the mails about the Fedora print magazine. There
Paul Frields said that "In the longer term we really do want to move
away from the Install DVD to a Live DVD that has more
relevant applications and content". We don't have any SIG for creating
Live DVD and Live DVD spin. I was thinking to start the same. For this
community support is very much required. Any one interested, please
reply to the mail. Any kind of suggestions or pointers are most
welcome. Some pointers can be found at :-
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Defining_projects#Special_Interest_Groups_.28S...

Also it would be great help if someone can tell me the procedure of
creating a SIG. Are there any prerequisites for creation of SIG?

Not really. Just create a wiki page similar to the existing SIG
explaining the details and send a mail to fedora-devel/fedora-desktop
list inviting people to help.

I am creating the SIG page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/LiveDVD .
Check it out. If I missed something then do let me know or feel free to edit
it.

Can somebody help me in creating mailing list and IRC?

[Jose Manimala]

I can help with IRC... Let me register the channel for you.... what do you
want it to be called?

I guess fedora-livedvd will be good. Do you have any other idea? Also please
join the SIG at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/LiveDVD . Once we have
the mailing list and IRC, we can take this to other fedora mailing lists
like ambassadors, devel and desktop.

The problem is that fedora-livedvd might be an official use of fedora title
and the channel if so cannot be registered to on particular user.! If thats
the case I think we have to contact someone from the infrastructure team...

No, do it the other way.
First get people interested and then go for infrastructure setup.
Don't worry, the second one isn't much of a problem.
Thanks.
