[Xastir] Fedora Special Interest Group (SIG)

[Tate]

Good questions and valid points there Curt. Wish I had some answers for 
you!

I don't know if they have an email list or what. My involvement was 
simply due to the invitation as a "Ham who uses Fedora". And Xastir 
being my favorite project <g> - I stepped in it and got Xastir on the 
list. I'm trying to not track anything into the house now. What happens 
after this?  All I know for sure is it's not up to me.

I'm guessing one way to go would be for me and/or anyone else interested 
to list with the Fedora SIG (FSIG?) as a 'person of interest' - as a Ham 
and a Fedora user. Then if there were any Xastir specific issues to come 
up - they'd be funneled back here, directed to the xastir.org web site 
or the Wiki as appropriate.

At the least until what this SIG is, does and is may be looking for 
becomes more clear and a better plan evolved.

Sound like a plan?
