== Minutes ==
=== Announcements & welcoming new folks ===
Thanks to our new Board members emeritus!

Action:  Christoph and Eric to work on election documentation/wiki pages.

=== Tickets ===
It's spins day!

==== 95: Request: please consider clarifying the project's position on 
Spins ====
Robyn to beep at Adam for one more week and then we'll close it.

==== 136: Request for clarification on localization of Spins ====
Need exists for ambassadors to have Fedora with their local language to 
hand out at local events.

What about a way to create spins automatically? (otherwise we have to 
host and bless many spins... how many languages are there in India?)

* Board could revisit the things that are necessary for being an 
"official spin" to make this possible.  For instance, "If it comes out 
of the web app spin creator that we host, it can be called Fedora"

App shown at FUDCon Blacksburg based on https://fedorahosted.org/dorrie

Action:  Christoph will contact the Spins SIG with a proposal

=== Follow-up: Release naming process ===

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Suggestions_for_Fedora_Codename_Theme

Idea:  if the release naming process changes, consider re-thinking the 
way we involve the community.

Action:  Everyone with ideas will write up a list of suggestions for 
improving community involvement in naming.
