FY18 Budget StopGap Proposal
by Brian Exelbierd 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hi All, The FY18 (2017-2018) budget provided by RH will not be available by March 1, 2017. Therefore I propose the following action for adoption by the council: Proposal: Temporary spending authorization for Ambassador regions Because we do not have final budget numbers, we need to be conservative with spending. Therefore Ambassador regions are authorized to allocate and potentially spend up to 10% of their prior year budget. This is NOT A FINAL BUDGET nor do we expect to have severe budget cuts, but we need to be fiscally responsible. If a region needs to spend more than this amount, they should vote on the ticket assuming they will receive 90% of their prior year budget and make a request to the Council in a ticket. To put this in context, 10% of the prior year budget should cover the period from March 1 to about April 10 (assuming level spending). For some regions this may go further depending on the actual timing of events. The 90% level proposed above assuming some cutting and allows for regions to make a decision based on a reasonably conservative estimate of their total budget. While changes are possible, we are not expecting the public budget to be reduced but have been given no official guidance on this. Additionally, this estimates reasonably conservative reductions to account for some budgetary realignment the Council may choose to do. I'd like this voted on in the next council meeting. Thank you. regards, bex

Looking for input on choosing Fedora audiences
by Justin W. Flory 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hey all, Fedora Marketing is working on changing our approach for how we put together talking points for each release, and crafting an outward-facing set of talking points that are shaped by audience instead of by edition / spin / lab, etc. There's some discussion going on in our ticket for this… https://pagure.io/fedora-marketing/issue/245 …and we would appreciate having some Council input on filtering down our original proposed list of audiences into something that meets the goals and objectives we are trying to meet as a project. We figured the Council would have a unique perspective to share on this and we would appreciate your feedback (there is additional context towards the bottom comments of the ticket). Thanks all! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Hi all! To better fit everyone's schedule, we're moving the Fedora Council meetings to Wednesday at 14:00 UTC. That's 9am US/Eastern and 15h Central European. I expect that we _will_ move this one with DST, rather than keeping at UTC. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
