Introducing SILO to the Fedora Board

[Matt Clark]

Kevin,

Thanks for the luck.  We'll definitely need it, I don't see any of what I'm
talking about to be easy. :)

On officiality, I also think an official relationship (I'm not sure what
that means, but I took it as 'affiliation') with the Fedora project would be
wise either given that we need to remain neutral if the intended service
provided is mediation.  If we're under obligation to Fedora it will do
exactly what you suggested:  It would be adding another layer and
complicating things.

However, a friendly joint effort wouldn't.  Basically we just need to figure
out how we can administrate our respective corners of the internet in a way
that creates a little stable harmony with each other.  We'd like to see some
penalty policies for operators and admins, etc, be able to provide support
to users that otherwise wouldn't be getting that support from #fedora (we're
trying it out with just IRC right now), and a good way to collect reports of
abuse and to provide those reports meaningfully to you guys through
effective channels.

>From my perspective I think very few changes in programs or policies would
be needed to make that happen, this would probably be mostly an unofficial
loose agreement and seeing where it goes.
