== Board Questions & Answers ==
* See the log for detailed answers
* What is Fedora?
** More discussion on this topic at the Board's next meeting
* What is the news on the 'incident' last year, and when can we hear more?
* Is Red Hat ever going to do main stream ads for Fedora (like on TV or 
Radio)?
* Why will there be no FUDCon associated with the Red Hat Summit in 
Chicago in September 2009?
* Why don't we replace the offical GA release with an updated one from 
Fedora Unity and archive the GA release when they have released an 
updated GA release ?
* Is cowsay code or content? ... the question really is how can I look 
at a package and classify it as code or content?
* Now with the ability to create a "live" cd shouldn't Fedora stop 
officially site with a specific DE ( Now it's Gnome ) and allow all DE 
to compete on a fair ground and all reference to "Desktop"  would 
strictly be a generic one ( containing a just a list of all the DE's 
that Fedora offers ) ?
* What key strategic initiatives is the board pursuing for 2009?
** glezos would like to see this question discussed in more detail on a 
Board phone meeting and come up with more specific and consistent answers
* Have we identified target groups to seek out as contributors? Or are 
we content with a walk-in only approach to recruitment?
* Could the board collect some questions in advance of these meetings so 
more thought could be given to them before the board discusses them?
* Is the Desktop SIG a Gnome Desktop SIG or is that SIG made up of 
members from other *DE SIG's?
