:'''<cjb>''' (It's 6am local time for me; if we could get the vote out of the way first that'd be helpful, since I might have trouble staying awake. ;-)

:'''<walterbender>''' cjb, do you have a list of volunteers?

Line 64: Line 64:

:'''<walterbender>''' so any final comments before we vote on the members of the decision panel?

:'''<walterbender>''' all in favor?

Line 78: Line 78:

:'''<tomeu>''' what sdziallas thinks about it?

:'''<cjb>''' sdziallas:if there's one question that you want to make sure gets answered, maybe we should get it in here

−

* sdziallas looks up. more being specific than cjb said? well, there have been three questions being but up on the wiki page, if I recall correctly.

:'''<CanoeBerry>''' FYI Abhishek Indoria also volunteered for the DP, for what it's worth his name was missed above.

:'''<walterbender>''' sdziallas:and more questions were raised in the discussion

Line 95: Line 95:

:'''<sdziallas>''' walterbender:I think "SL strategic plan" for it - if that's what its called - should be a topic for the maintainer, too. since this actually affects his decisions.

:'''<cjb>''' so a proposed mandate based on that question could be "Investigate the situation of how SoaS should be treated by Sugar Labs, including an answer to the question of 'Should "Sugar on a Stick" be a phrase that SL asks its community to avoid using unless they refer to the SoaS-Fedora distribution?"

:'''<walterbender>''' cjb:maybe a different word than avoid? because one potential solution could be to qualify it rather than avoid it

:'''<lfaraone>''' cjb:oh, and Sean just volunteered.

Line 140: Line 139:

:'''<cjb>''' got it.

:'''<walterbender>''' cjb:so we have an obligation to protect the mark...

* mtd sees the use of "Sugar on a Stick" squarely in scope, since...well, becqause of what walterbender just said.

:'''<walterbender>''' the DP should be aware of all of this... Karen at SFLA can help clarify

:'''<cjb>''' ok. I don't think this needs to go in the mandate, but I agree that we should let them know.

Line 146: Line 145:

:'''<walterbender>''' cjb:OK, but if they recommend something that is contradictory to the law, we'll have to reject their proposal.

:'''<cjb>''' sdziallas:so perhaps we should vote on whether the other questions on that page should make it in

~~-->| sdziallas_ (n=sebastia@p5B042B39.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #sugar-meeting~~

:'''<mtd>''' cjb:perhaps noting that they are not not in scope would be enough? :)

~~|<-- sdziallas has left freenode (Nick collision from services.)~~

:'''<sdziallas_>''' sorry folks, I just got disconnected :/

−

~~=-= sdziallas_ is now known as sdziallas~~

:'''<cjb>''' mtd:it's enough for me, but I think sdziallas_ would like them to be a MUST instead of a MAY

:'''<tomeu>''' sdziallas:I will paste the logs

Line 183: Line 179:

:'''<walterbender>''' cjb:we could decide to throw out their work and try again :P
