Election nomination feedback: time commitments
by Justin W. Flory 23 May '19

23 May '19

Hi Ben! I hope you're doing well. :) I wanted to suggest adding expected time commitments for each elected body of Fedora; however, I wasn't sure where to deliver this feedback on the election process and would appreciate your guidance on where to share this suggestion publicly. In the past week, I tried to nominate four people (not employed by Red Hat) for either a Council or Mindshare Committee seat. Each person I reached out to was unsure of what is expected of them in the role (i.e. specific responsibilities) and how much time commitment is expected to be an active and engaged member of the elected group. I lacked current domain knowledge from how each group operates and what is a reasonable expectation of time commitment. Because this was unclear, each person declined the nomination. I read Brian's blog post, "Contributors are Empowered When They Know the Process", and I felt this is one area where contributors are missing the "domain knowledge" of what elected bodies in Fedora do: https://community.redhat.com/blog/2019/05/contributors-are-empowered-when-t… There is some documentation for each elected body, but I think we could do better to engage more people from more places. This seems to affect FESCo less than Council and Mindshare. FESCo currently has seven nominations, Council has two, and Mindshare has three. It could be interesting to dig deeper if FESCo does anything differently. I also think doing this well helps diversity and inclusion because it enables more people to enter Fedora leadership positions who may not traditionally be represented in those groups. Like Brian's blog post mentions, when people understand how things work and what policies exist, it makes it easier for them to take the big leap. Fedora engineering and mindshare efforts benefit when there are more ideas from diverse backgrounds / use cases at the table. I wasn't sure where to direct this feedback and I would prefer to make it public for others to weigh in on too. Let me know if there is a specific Pagure repo I should file an issue against or if there is somewhere else I can share this feedback. Thanks for your time! -- Cheers, Justin W.

Fedora 30 Elections: Nomination period open
by Ben Cotton 21 May '19

21 May '19

Today we are starting the Nomination & Campaign period during which we accept nominations to the "steering bodies" of the following teams: * FESCo (Engineering) (4 seats) [1] * Fedora Council (1 seat) [2] * Mindshare (1 seat) [3] This period is open until 2019-05-22 at 23:59:59 UTC. Candidates may self-nominate. If you nominate someone else, please check with them to ensure that they are willing to be nominated before submitting their name. The steering bodies are currently selecting interview questions for the candidates. Nominees submit their questionnaire answers via a private Pagure issue. The Election Wrangler or their backup will publish the interviews to the Community Blog before the start of the voting period. Fedora Podcast episodes will be recorded and published as well. Please note that the interview is mandatory for all nominees. Nominees not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period (2019-05-29) will be disqualified and removed from the election. As part of the campaign people may also ask questions to specific candidates on the appropriate mailing list. The full schedule of the elections is available on the Elections schedule[4]. For more information about the elections process, see the wiki[5].

[Fedocal] Reminder meeting : Council (Open Floor)
by mattdm＠fedoraproject.org 21 May '19

21 May '19

Dear all, You are kindly invited to the meeting: Council (Open Floor) on 2019-05-22 from 10:00:00 to 11:00:00 US/Eastern At fedora-meeting-1(a)irc.freenode.net The meeting will be about: The Fedora Council will hold our regular Open Floor meeting at 10:00am US/Eastern in #fedora-meeting-1 on irc.freenode.net. All are welcome! To convert to your local time, run: date -d 'TZ="US/Eastern" 10am tomorrow' Open Floor meetings happen every four weeks. They do not have a preset agenda. Instead, we spend the first few minutes of the meeting deciding what topics will be discussed. If attendees — Council members and otherwise — have several topics of general interest, the primary meeting chair (usually the FPL or FCAIC) will put them in order, and after a certain amount of time discussing the first, ask if it's time to move on. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Council_Meetings#Open_Floor_Meetings Source: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/meeting/9410/
