Fedora Board Public IRC meeting today at 16:00 UTC (Noon EDT)

[Jared K. Smith]

The Fedora Board will be holding a public IRC meeting today at 16:00
UTC (Noon EDT) in #fedora-board-meeting on the Freenode IRC network.
Details on our IRC meetings can be found at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/IRC.

The topic for today's meeting is a proposal that came out of last
week's Board meeting[1] regarding trademark approval for Fedora spins.
 The proposal as it currently stands is to abolish the current media
handout requirements in favor of a checklist system.  Essentially, in
order to get trademark approval for a spin, you'd simply get a public
approval from a number of groups (Spins SIG, Design Team, QA, and
Release Engineering initially), and submit those in a ticket to the
Board for trademark approval.  Instead of having the Board determine
the criteria, each of those groups should be able to determine their
own individual requirements for Spin approval.

We welcome your input in our Board meeting today and hope you'll help
us to work out the details and come up with something that is more
transparent and streamlined than our current system.
