Ugh. Wow is it late to add new spins, IMHO. ;(
I know. But I don't see a problem with that, most the spins already
received testing. They are based on other tested spins and Fedora Jam
even had a test day.
What are the spins? I saw the jam, but what are the other 3?
We have 3 ready for SIG: Fedora Jam, Java and Games, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Spins_Ready_For_SIG
* Games is only a re-approval, not sure if this really is
necessary. The reason of the re-approval is to check is
maintainers are still around, but Bruno is the most active of us
I guess.
* Fedora Jam was introduced, tested and so on. I think it's one
of the best spins ever, therefor it would be a pity to not do
it.
* Java seems straight forward, except from the name. Some board
members expressed concerns about the name. Java is a trademark
of Oracle and "Fedora Java" sounds like we were shipping our own
Java. The board recommends renaming it to something along the
lines of "Fedora Java Development" and asked legal for
clearance.
Then we have the minimal spin ready for wrangler, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Spins_Ready_For_Wrangler
* I like the idea and the ks looks good, however the intention
goes one step further: Minimal could replace base as the minimal
offering and base would inherit minimal. This impacts all other
spins and therefor I think it's too late to change this now. We
should target F19 instead and for F18 just release is as
additional spin.
I have seen 0 on them...
Glad to know I am not alonw. I didn't know about them either because
AFAICS their owners did not send a message to the list. :(

I can, but shouldn't we wait for them to be approved?
Probably, but... we are just late and I consider the approval only a
formal step.
Thanks for the pointer.
Kind regards,
Christoph
