Spins For F17

[Dennis Gilmore]

http://rbergero.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-17/f-17-spins-tasks.html
The list of official Spins for F17 was due on Tuesday Feb 7th.

To me the minimal spin really fits into a request ive had a few times
lately and that is to make the ec2 images available for download for
people to deploy into thier private cloud or just for use in vms.
rather than doing a install they have a minimal starting point and
install what they want.

I don't think we have any other new spins proposed so we have

Design-suite
Desktop
KDE
LXDE
Security
SoaS
XFCE
Electronic-Lab
Games
Robotics
Scientific-KDE

Is that correct?

Hi Dennis,

thanks for the heads-up. I apologize for being a bad spin-wrangler and
not sending out any reminders. :(

I do understand the idea behind this, yet though it doesn't meet the
definition of a "spin". We need to either change the definition or
follow it - or just don't name it a spin.

Before we discuss this further, I'd like more info on the minimal spin.
I have added my questions at

Looks right to me. If there were any new spins, we should have heard of
them.

Please don't make false assumptions. How about assuming that people are
not employed bs Red Hat and only work on Fedora in their spare time and
have a dayjob that keeps them busy?

If you, rel-eng or anybody else needs something from the spins SIG, we
need to be aware of these requirements. Just by looking at the schedule
we don't know what othery might need from us.

Regards,
Christoph

Well as much as you have a little responsibility.. the primary
responsibility falls on each of the groups who are "shepherding" their
spins. I didn't answer for XFCE and I should have. So should have the
various other people who have primary or secondary interest in their
spins. It was a gap of 5 days with no answers but the usual "well why
should I worry about it, someone else will grab it." mentality that we
all get into.

mea culpa.

I am sorry Dennis! I have put the Security Spin on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Spins_Fedora_17
Christoph, is this still the way for renew the spin? I can not really
find it here
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spins_Process
only for new Spins.

In theory recurring releases were supposed to get assigned to the wrangler
and then they would get a quick look to see if there were significant
changes. Then the Spins SIG was supposed to OK them. Christoph is working
on some modifications to the process and I am not sure how he expects
this to work in the future.

Hi Jörg,

don't worry, the Security Spin was on the list already.
