Hello Zacharias,
I do appreciate your effort of providing me with the information but

>>> HOW MISSION AND FOUR FOUNDATIONS JOIN FEDORA.NEXT
>>>
>>> - give a positive voice for people with diverse requirements;

>>> WHAT IS FEDORA.NEXT

>>>
>>> FEDORA.NEXT WORKING GROUPS
>>>
>>> - Base:
>>>
>>> This is the common base on which the Fedora OS products will be built.
>>> Language stacks and environments will be able to assume that this is
>>> available and consistent across all of Fedora, and that change will be
>>> carefully managed.
>>>
>>> The Fedora.next proposal suggests that this should exist, but leaves open
>>> exactly what it will look like. This group will create a reference
>>> document
>>> that answers that question, and work on the practical infrastructure for
>>> building this as a subset of Fedora.
>>>
>>> - Environment & Software Stacks
>>>
>>> These are also policies development for software. New guidelines for how
>>> software may be included under the Fedora umbrella without necessarily
>>> conforming.
>>> Fedora.Next allows disruptive innovation without disrupting what works in
>>> Fedora now. At first, work will be concerned with more conservative
>>> approaches like the first generation Software Collections (which may fit
>>> in
>>> with only minor exceptions to the current packaging guidelines), this is
>>> also the place to explore and solve issues like container composition and
>>> updates.
>>>
>>> - Product Working Groups
>>> The first responsibility of each working group will be to establish a
>>> governance charter.Then, the first required deliverable for each group
>>> will
>>> be a Product Requirements Document. This will include a statement of
>>> target
>>> audience and the role the product is intended to fill in the Fedora
>>> ecosystem. This document will be presented to the Board for
>>> ratification.The

>>> implement the plan and at what point we may need to have a longer than
>>> normal release cycle to do tooling work. The last deliverable is to

>>> start producing the Fedora Products listed below.
>>>
>>> WORKING GROUPS RECAP

>>> - Base Design Working Group
