https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Meetings/2008-07-15#Mingw
* So far approximately 50 packages

infrastructure as previously requested by the board appears to far 
outweigh the benefits

separated from the main Fedora repos though may revisit in the future if 
issues arise
** Board continues to leave ongoing implementation details to FESCo

== Artwork in Fedora ==
* Recent email threads on fedora-desktop-list at redhat.com
* Discussion centered around who is responsible for the "look and feel" 
of Fedora
* Look of default icon set of distribution is important because it does 
makes a first impression on new users
* Where does Fedora define "Upstream Fedora Artwork" to exist?
* Is Fedora specific art work considered to be working "upstream" or 
does such an "upstream" exist?
* The Board is ultimately responsible for the ''look and feel'' of 
Fedora but would like it to be clear that it has delegated this 
responsibility to the Fedora Art Team
** Historically this was FESCo's responsibility

** When FESCo recently re-evaluated its role it retained many of its 
previous responsibilities, but did not explicitly retain responsibility 
over the ''look and feel'' of Fedora.  As a result this responsibility 
reverted to the Fedora Board.

* There were no dissenting votes to the following resolution:
* '''RESOLUTION'''
*# FESCo has previously delegated the responsibility to determine the 
look and feel of Fedora to the Artwork team, and the Board continues to 
support that decision
*# The Artwork team, like any other Fedora team, should work with other 
groups to develop consensus on look and feel discussions
*# The Artwork team should formally decide whether or not Echo should be 
the default icon set in Fedora 10
