Hi Dennis,

thanks for the heads-up. I apologize for being a bad spin-wrangler and
not sending out any reminders. :(

I do understand the idea behind this, yet though it doesn't meet the
definition of a "spin". We need to either change the definition or
follow it - or just don't name it a spin.

Before we discuss this further, I'd like more info on the minimal spin.
I have added my questions at

Looks right to me. If there were any new spins, we should have heard of
them.

Please don't make false assumptions. How about assuming that people are
not employed bs Red Hat and only work on Fedora in their spare time and
have a dayjob that keeps them busy?

If you, rel-eng or anybody else needs something from the spins SIG, we
need to be aware of these requirements. Just by looking at the schedule
we don't know what othery might need from us.

Christoph
