Some tasks owned by one or two people Part of our mission is to bring on younger people Promotion around releases Release checklist to start in advance of a release What we are talking about, where we’re sending the message, who did cool stuff to celebrate, make sure press knows it’s coming, etc. … CentOS is more reactive to RHEL But there is a window where we can build that message Johnny notes: Reactive, we don’t know what’s in it until after the RHEL release source gets to us. Board meetings Folks see -- Dark cabal that controls everything Want to see meetings, agenda SIG maybe attend? Contributes to the notion that RHT runs everything when the decision process is not transparent. GDPR Paul & Jim working together to be POC for RHT on Fedora & CentOS Not all is clear with RHT yet We need to have an idea of what to do for forums, etc. Difference between contributions & personal postings Argument for using a single auth ACO(?) Usage of CentOS Entities need to either change how they refer to their rebuild or they need to not make a rebuild or they need to make the rebuild via the SIG process
