Hi Spot,

thanks for your attempt to bring this down to a reasonable list.

As requested? When and where? Some of the things have already been
brought up by individuals, but not by the board as such.

In the past the workflow was that the board first approves a spin and
then the artwork is created. Usually the spin is approved when the
artwork for the release is not yet available. Has this changed and where
is this change documented?

The artwork will be based on the DVD install artwork, only some changes
to the text. The exact wording is to come from Jared, who kindly offered
his help as a native English speaker

I can provide it as soon as I get reply from the design team.

I did already provide them.

I feel like I'm not in the position to request a sign-off from rel-eng.
There is no documented workflow to get something like this and I would
expect the board to approach the design team and say: Hey, the
ambassadors want this, many people put a lot of work in it, so please
make it happen.

There is no clearly defined workflow for this one ether but Adam already
indicated that he is fine with my suggestions.

As mentioned several times before the spin will only contain of ISOs, in
the DVD level there is not a single RPM involved. The lists of packages
of the should be available from
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=correspondingsource.git

But hey, it's not! Nobody updated it for ages but still spins were
approved and new physical media were created. I cannot see why I am the
one to do the work others (rel-eng?) did not do since F9.

I will try to come up with the things I can make happen, but some things
are just outside my scope and I have asked the board several times to
help me with them. So far this has not happened.

Regards,
Christoph
