Hi all,
I thought i remembered seeing the spin submission deadline was coming up
soon, so I checked this morning. Turns out that the deadline for spin
submission is tomorrow (July 12). Oh dear. We already have a
spin-in-progress page going[1], I'm going to update our git repo[2] tonight
with the latest base .ks file and have our spin's .ks pull in our new comps
group. I'll also fix up our spin wiki page and make sure its up to snuff
with the guidelines, then mark it ready for the wrangler. After tomorrow's
submission deadline, we have two weeks before the spin freeze where we can
test thoroughly and make sure our spin works. I'll be in the
#fedora-robotics channel on IRC while i'm working.
While it is a good idea to try to get stuff in promptly, given the Spins SIG
continues to not function very well, I wouldn't consider the deadline to
be hard. Our Wrangler also is very busy at work and hasn't had much time
for spins recently.
Also there has been discussion about changing the way spins are handled
so that SIGs can have spins. There should be notes about this on either
the advisory board list or in some of the board's meeting notes. The Cloud
guys are doing this, and you may want to look at what they are doing
as a model.
Also at some point space used for images is an issue, that releng gets to
weigh in on. With most spins being relagated to torrent only, I don't
think that is as much of an issue. (I believe the size being mirrored was
the bottleneck in the past.)
