Discussion: =========== - 1.4.1 release Maciej isn't comfortable volunteering to coordinate the release right now because he is unsure of the time constraints of his next job. The Red Hat Labs members can help. We may look for a volunteer. - GNOME 2.0 Martin is concerned that there aren't enough people working on GNOME 2.0. We need a status report from from Martin and Sander so we can possibly help them keep things on schedule and get things done. It is very important to have the GNOME 2 libraries building all the time. It is also important that we get the tinderbox set up soon to monitor that everything is building properly. Greg Leblanc is heading up the tinderbox setup. Maciej will see if Greg needs help from the Eazel tinderbox gurus. The release coordinators should set up a policy on requiring packages build. Need a web page explaining how to build GNOME 2.0 libraries. ORBit confusion. What will we use for GNOME 2.0 and will it be ready in time? Martin and Sander need to decide. - Policies We need policies for @gnome.org email aliases, CVS access, and FTP access. Federico will write a draft of this policy. There was some concern that @gnome.org email aliases may be interpreted as individuals who represent GNOME, instead of individuals who contribute to GNOME. - License policy for GNOME platform We have not yet adopted the policy. Maciej will send the current draft to the Board for review. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list _______________________________________________ foundation-announce mailing list foundation-announce@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-announce
