Fedorans, When I packed up my entire life and moved to fair Rollywood this past January to be closer to Red Hat Tower and dive head-first into this role as the first ever Fedora Community Action and Impact Lead, it was an absolute dream for me. Every day, I'm working with some of the most talented, motivated, brilliant hackers, designers, and volunteers that build and ship the operating system at the core of my digital existence--not to mention much of the enterprises and infrastructure around the world. The scale of problems, and the speed at which we are solving them, is still absolutely mind-blowing to me. I love my job. I love my team. I love the Fedora Community. I love Red Hat. Wholeheartedly. Thank you, all of you. Never did I imagine there would ever be another opportunity that could sway me from this path, which I flipped my life upside down to pursue... but then I got the call... Things are moving quickly, and I don't have all the details yet, but it looks like I'm going to be the first ever Open Source Campaign Manager for the next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton. I have to be at campaign HQ in Brooklyn NY ready to hit the ground running on Monday. I will be spending my last 24 hours as a Red Hatter flipping my entire life upside down, again, and I wanted to give the community one last window to ping me with any outstanding business or questions, and direct you to the appropriate channels thereafter. After tomorrow, I'm going to be packing up and moving to Brooklyn to work 8 days a week until roughly Thanksgiving ;) In my absence, here is a list of points of contact for FCL business (cc'd above,) until my replacement arrives. For all things related to: - Fedora Council, Matthew Miller: mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org - Fedora Budget, Events, and ambassadors, Joe Brockmeier: jzb(a)redhat.com - Fedora Engineering/Infrastructure, Paul Frields: pfrields(a)fedoraproject.org - Community Operations/CommBlog/Mktg/Misc, the Community Operations Team: commops(a)lists.fedoraproject.org I know the timing is less than ideal, with Red Hat Summit next week, and Flock in August, but, I believe this position will bring the most visibility to the work and principles that Red Hat, Fedora, and the FOSS community stand for. I find strength, purpose, and peace in these words of George Bernard Shaw: "...I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. ...Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." This is one of those "once in a lifetime" moments in our history, and if the Free and Open Source Software Movement can be part of that, then I'm willing to answer the call. Happy Hacking, --RemyD.

[URGENT] GSoC Midterm Evaluations are now OPEN and will CLOSE in less than one Week!
by Remy DeCausemaker 21 Jun '16

21 Jun '16

GSoC Students and Mentors, The Midtem evaluation period has begun, and will close in less than a week! The mentors have been checking in with eachother and it has come to our collective attention that some of you are behind on your planned work for the first half of the program. If you haven't been checking in with your mentor, participating in IRC discussions on a daily basis, and making obvious progress on your goals and projects that is publicly visible in commit logs, and/or public mailing lists, repositories, and issue trackers, we can draw no other conclusion than you are not committing the requisite amount of time to the program, resulting in a failing evaluation. As an organizational admin, I know that each of you were selected above other applicants for these highly competitive slots. The Fedora Project cannot afford to give you a free pass for midterms, as it could jeopardize the number of slots we will be awarded in the future if we do not hold high standards, and avoid wasting the precious resources that were so generously provided by our sponsoring organization. Each of you should absolutely check in with your mentors in the next 24 hours and make sure you know where you stand. The mentors will be collectively evaluating each of you BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, so do not delay. For those of you who have been steadily making progress on your plan of work, and participating actively on a daily basis, kudos to you! Keep up the good work! If you know of or see other GSoC students that need help, be there for eachother, build eachother up, and help keep everyone productive and engaged. We're all in this together. Good Luck, and Happy Hacking, --RemyD. -- Remy DeCausemaker Fedora Community Lead & Council <decause(a)redhat.com> https://whatcanidoforfedora.org

GSoC Weekly Update
by Bhagyashree Padalkar 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi everyone , As decided in the #summer-coding channel, we decided to not have a weekly check-in meeting today due to the low numbers but instead have a mailing list update. It would be great if GSoC students could post to this thread with their updates over the past week :) A link to a blog post describing what you did or any specific issues you faced would be awesome but otherwise a simple write up about would do ! I know some of you have been doing some pretty exciting work over the summer and I look forward to knowing about other GSoC projects too :) Also, I know I have said this before too but if you are facing any issues , don't forget to contact your mentors or people in the community ! Happy coding over the summers , Cheers, Bee
