[Fedora-spins] Netizen Spin

[Corey Leong]

Greetings Matthew --

That's a negative. No package defaults will be changed from their defaults.
The overall intention is the organization of the software and, perhaps, how
they are presented to the user. I am interested in organizing by users'
psychological needs rather than the typical applications categories. I
focused on security first since physiological needs obviously do not exist
in a digital space which contradicts Maslow's HoN. For example, security,
safety, social, design, etc would be application categories rather than
office, system, utilities, for instance, which need ergonomic improvement,
in my opinion. Simply, same fedora software with all original defaults, but
organized in an alternative and improved application taxonomy for users for
promoting online citizenship.

For the scope section's appearance, I was not certain how to address this
since trademarking and marketing will play roles in the spin, at least
according to the original spin process doc. I've always considered the
Sugar on a Stick a wonderful theme especially for kids so perhaps a citizen
type theme would be an ideal for Netizen. I have not begun to develop a
citizen theme since I have been waiting since January for my spin to be
wrangled while also waiting for some type of feedback. I am open to working
with marketing for a fitting theme, Matthew, or providing one myself, if
need be.

Thanks,

--Corey

PS I would concur that the published spin process is broken, as suggested
by another on this list.
