[indiana-discuss] Couple of random (possibly useful links)

[Glynn Foster]

Hey,

Just found a couple of interesting links on a read through lwn.net this week -

   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Meetings/2008-03-11

which details out a few interesting items which I thought I'd pass on -

1) Addition of Fedora branded Google start page

    Unfortunately it looks like the lawyers didn't allow this one

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2008-March/msg00071.html

    I wonder if we would be any different? I suspect not, given Sun's
    relationship to OpenSolaris being very similar to Fedora and Red
    Hat

2) Codeina

    Looks like they've also dropped support for the pointers to non-free
    codecs. We probably need to figure out how we stand on that front.

3) Spins

    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram/SpinsProcess

    has an interesting proposal in terms of formal endorsement of distribution
    spins, or derivatives. Since it's likely we'll go down that way at some
    stage in the future, it might be interesting to start thinking about it
    now. Most of this is likely due to the trademark restrictions (which we
    have similar issues with), and closely ties in with the discussion on
    trademark-dev-discuss.
