I think we found a happy go between by using #fedora-board IRC channel 
to have a running commentary on the discussions to a appropriate level 
of detail and getting input from community folks to continue the phone 
conversations. This worked out pretty well for the summit itself and I 
think we will continue that process for the future board meetings too.

Precisely. It would be good to hear what progress you think we have made 
though. At the organizational level, the package versions arent really 
interesting. Every Fedora release will progress over the previous one 
with packages anyway. What's important is the other changes we make 
which is why the next release of Fedora is going to be pretty important 
even if the end product ends up being a conservative set of changes this 
time.
