#40: Enforcing the code of conduct -------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: duffy | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: Legal | Keywords: coc, code of conduct -------------------+--------------------------------- See this post from the outreach-list regarding the actual enforcement of the code of conduct as currently written: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/outreach/2015-July/000067.html Langdon asked that this be made a ticket for council discussion, with the concern that an unenforceable / consequence without an SOP is a threat and isn't the right way to go: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/outreach/2015-August/000073.html For reference, the actual text is: "FUDCon brings together contributors and users from all over the world and this diversity is one of our greatest strengths. This diversity however can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. Attendees are required to be considerate and respectful of each other. This includes, but is not limited to: - "Refraining from rude behaviour - "Refraining from any sort of harassment or discrimination (based on ethnic background, religion, gender, sexuality, body shape, disability, geographic location, sports team, preferred operating system or anything else) - "Obeying local laws "Attendees who are in violation of this policy may be subject to removal and banning from FUDCon (and future Fedora events). Whether an attendee is in violation is at the sole discretion of the conference organizers. Anyone with a possible concern relating to the code of conduct is encouraged to either email Rupali Talwatkar or talk directly to one of the designated FUDCon volunteers. Designated FUDCon volunteers will have a dark blue coloured VOLUNTEER badge." The line of particular concern here is: "Attendees who are in violation of this policy may be subject to removal and banning from FUDCon (and future Fedora events)." -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/40> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

#16: Periodic contributor survey ---------------------+------------------- Reporter: mattdm | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------- This is a tracking ticket for establishing a process by which we get regular feedback from the Fedora contributor base. This is a companion to https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/1. The desired goals, methodology, and basically everything else are really different between users and contributors it will be better to track them separately. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/16> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Project Board Public Tickets

[council] #38: Dopr

#38: Dopr ------------------------+------------------- Reporter: msuchy | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: Trademarks | Keywords: ------------------------+------------------- Hi, we (as Copr team) would like to introduce new service "DOPR". It is very easy. It combine user Dockerfile and user's Copr and create new docker image on DockerHub. You can see staging instance at: http://dopr-dev.cloud.fedoraproject.org/ We would like to start production instance. However some members of fedora-infra would like to see this go through Council first. There is some sense on this as this is kind of new way of distribution of Fedora (beside Spins, Remixs...). It creates all docker images directly on DockerHub so technically speaking they are not created in Fedora infrastructure, but they are created under Fedora account. And we would like to market it as "Fedorea + Copr" or similar. So my question: Does Fedora Council approve granting trademark usage on resulting docker images? -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/38> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

#27: Proposed Schedule for PRD Refresh ----------------------+------------------- Reporter: sgallagh | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Keywords: ----------------------+------------------- As discussed in the Hangout meeting today, we need to do a periodic refresh of the PRDs to make sure they are kept up-to-date. I propose that each of the Edition, Base and Env/Stacks groups should provide an update by 23:59 UTC on June 12, 2015 for review. This gives a little over a week for them to be reviewed prior to the Change Submission Freeze as currently scheduled. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/27> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

#41: Budget Request: Outreachy Intern(s) for 2015 Winter Cycle -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: decause | Owner: decause Status: new | Priority: major Component: General | Keywords: outreachy, EDU Objective, | internship, interns, co-ops, D&I -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Outreachy (formerly GNOME Outreach Program for Women) is administering their winter cycle, and there are members of the Fedora project willing to mentor on a handful of projects. You can view this year's proposed program on the Fedora Wiki (Work in Progress): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Outreachy/2015 General information about the Outreachy program can be found here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy Information Specific to this upcoming round can be found here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/2015/DecemberMarch The cost of sponsoring an intern is $6,500 USD. They are paid incrementally 3 times over the course of their internship by the Outreachy program, who handles the administrative burden via the Software Freedom Conservancy. A $500 travel stipend is included in that cost, which could be used to help subsidize the intern's travel to FOSS conferences, Events, or workshops (ideally Fedora Events, FADs, or hackfests.) I would propose that we *provisionally* allocate funding for at least 1 slot ($6,500), but ideally 2 slots ($13,000) pending suitable applicants to fill the slot(s). Outreachy program representatives will be available during our Monday meeting on 9/28 to answer our questions. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/41> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

by Truong Anh Tuan 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi all, Finally, on the last meeting [1], regional community decided to support Phnom Penh as the next location for FUDCon APAC 2016. Although there are some small concerns/notes, we agreed to propose PP bid [2] as the only candidate. According to the FUDCon bid process [3], we would like to bring it to FUDCon planning committee to review and make the final decision. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. Regional community and the organizing team will be more than happy to discuss any further stuffs. Rgds, Tuan [1] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2015-09-26/fedora-meeting.… [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_PhnomPenh_2016 [3]http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process

[council] #22: Objective Proposal: University Involvement

#22: Objective Proposal: University Involvement ----------------------+------------------- Reporter: sgallagh | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Keywords: ----------------------+------------------- I alluded to this during the Council meeting on Monday, so I'm going to attempt to turn this into a formal proposal. == Objective: University Involvement == === Overview === Increase Fedora's exposure in university environments, particularly engineering universities. === Expected Impact === Increased user base with a specific focus on future contributors. === Timeframe === For maximum effect, if we elect to work towards this Objective, we should kick it into gear at the beginning of the summer with the intent of having events planned during the 2015-2016 school year. === Aspects === * Coordinate marketing, ambassador and outreach groups to focus on university needs * Work with universities to provide install-fests during student orientation periods * Work with universities to regularly run Fedora-focused hackfests * Work with university IT departments to co-maintain one or more Fedora computer labs (and help them upgrade them during breaks) * Establish work-study, co-op and for-credit programs at universities === Metrics === * Increased contributions from university programs * Increased bug reports and feature requests * Increased mind-share among potential contributors (not easily measured) === Additional Notes === Some prototypes of this have been performed at Brno universities over the last few years, with very positive results. We should coordinate with the contributors involved in those efforts and learn from their successes and failures. There is also a University Outreach program run by Red Hat's "Open Source and Standards" department which was involved in the RIT partnership from which we eventually acquired Remy DeCausemaker. I assume he will have plenty to add to this discussion as well as contacts in the university world. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/22> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

for discussion: Fedora OpenShift as an objective
by Matthew Miller 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Red Hat's OpenShift Platform as a Service (PaaS, for those following the buzzwords) offering is starting to get industry momentum.¹ ² What's more, there are only two major open source PaaS offerings³, and we currently have neither of them in Fedora. We used to have OpenShift v1, but when v2 came along, it was just too difficult to keep all of the Ruby requirements in sync. (I remember some kernel-related pain, too, but I'm kind of hazy — that was several years ago.) But now, there's a shiny new OpenShift v3, rewritten in Go. I'd like to talk about (and eventually if enough people think this is a good idea, officially propose) a 12-month (e.g, Fedora 24 and 25 cycle) initative to better our relationship with OpenShift, in order to put Fedora in a position of leadership in this important area of computing — and, thinking bigger, to advance the state of open source in this area by doing that. Specifically (outcomes!⁴), I'd like to: - Have OpenShift Origin v3 packaged in Fedora, so users Fedora users can deploy it locally and we can use it in Fedora Infrastructure. - Establish good communication channels between Fedora userbase and upstream developers, so that PaaS innovators⁵ and maybe early adopters⁶ choose Fedora for their leading-edge deployments - Increase PaaS knowledge and skills in the Fedora contributor community. Possibly have an OpenShift Origin instance running in Fedora infrastructure for contributor community use. I think this is something on the order of an Objective rather than just a change/feature proposal because it's actually a rather tall order. On the technical side, currently OpenShift can't be easily packaged because it includes some 200+ Go libraries, and we don't even have approved Go packaging guidelines. This probably means we'd be asking for a very large bundling exception (note 'Active upstream Security Team' as part of the justification). On the less technical but still important side, I'd like to see related marketing and documentation, and coordination with Fedora Atomic and the Fedora Cloud WG, and possibly with Fedora Server as well (I know OpenShift node as server role is already under some consideration). Thoughts, comments, thrown vegetables? Notes: 1. http://www.redhat.com/en/about/blog/red-hat-cited-%E2%80%9Cvisionary%E2%80%… 2. http://www.infoworld.com/article/2608445/cloud-computing/review--openshift-… 3. The other is CloudFoundry, which I'm sure is fine, but which is kind of.... out of ecosystem. (I don't think it even officially runs on CentOS.) 4. http://fedoramagazine.org/lets-talk-about-fedora-project-objectives/ 5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_adoption_lifecycle 6. ibid. Disclaimer with my red hat on: this isn't an official message from Red Hat, and while other Red Hatters, including people involved in OpenShift, are _interested_, there isn't a specific request from Red Hat to do this. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
