== User Base ==
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Poelstra/What_is_a_target_audience
* Paul did a new rendering: 
http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/temp/user-base-diagram2.png (SVG also 
available)
* Paul: Can we show impact or ''pressure'' or ''network effects'' 
between different groups?
** John: why is it important to show that?
*** Paul: Could be included in separate diagrams
* Chris: previous diagram showed a cut-off line and a group that was not 
in the user base
** Paul: will look for a better way to include that
*** difficult to make point of "permeable membrane" between participants 
and non-participants
* Mike: should we be grouping ''enthusiasts'' with ''content creators?''
** Paul: Should just say "Ambassadors" here -- people who don't 
necessarily create content but are important to the Project
* Chris: are blue colors to be interpreted as ''Fedora''?
** Indicates areas we are doing well
* John: our original goal was to create a diagram that clearly explain 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base what do we need to do next? Are 
we getting too far off track by focusing on creating a diagram?
** Chris: It would appear that https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base 
answers the question of who our ''target audience'' is
* This topic was discussed at length (~ 1.75 hours)
* While it would be nice to have a default offering that meets 
everyone's needs, Fedora doesn't have the resources to do that
*'''NEXT ACTIONS''':
*# Fix first section of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base
*#* Members should make edits and changes before end of business on 
Wednesday
*# Propose https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base for acceptance by 
the full board

== SWG Spins Pages Resolution ==

* Work that Matt and Colin did showed that there were no significant 
reworks or restatements needed by the Board.  Individual pain points 
were recognized, and tickets filed for appropriate resolution.
* '''RESOLVED'''
