https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting:Board_meeting_2009-12-10

== Updates/Installs presentation ==
* William Jon McCann -- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JonMccann
* Co-presenter: Christopher Aillon
** pointed back to whiteboard link: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop/Whiteboards/UpdateExperience with new added "Impact" section with information from stakeholders
** document doesn't present implementation, but records opinions garnered from current contributors and stakeholders
* General Board consensus is that we do need to establish criteria for updates, and empower FESCo to enforce them
* Lots of spirited discussion around various details of the proposal, with conversation that covered a lot of different issues but the Board is not ready to issue hard guidance yet
** Unclear to what extent current pending changes (NFR, AutoQA) will impact any Fedora user's update experience, or how these changes are currently incorporated in the whiteboard
** The whiteboard correctly identifies several problems but it's not clear that it completely lists root causes
ACTION:
# Enumerate the problems that need to be solved -- as explicitly as possible, no focus on solutions
#* Suggested method, repetitive "why" to make sure we're identifying the right root causes
#* On list, get owners for each problem from the Board side
# Then solicit ideas for proposed solutions

== Next meeting == 
* Thu Jan 07 2009 - 1700 UTC/12:00pm US Eastern (public IRC)
