    7. This past weekend, Fedora participated with a community stand at FOSDEM, one of the largest open source conferences in Europe. Once we have some time, it would be helpful to try to analyze our impact at this event, both from a statistic point of view but also on feedback received. (jflory7, 17:41:05)

    11. === Fedora 26 proposed changes close on Feb. 28th === (jflory7, 17:41:29)
    12. On February 28th, the window for proposed changes to include in Fedora 26 closes. From there, we will have a confirmed idea of what kind of new changes will be included in the distribution. The Marketing team will work on identifying these changes, breaking them down into talking points, and sharing them with the project. CommOps will be able to assist by helping share and communicate these changes with other groups in Fedora as well. (jflory7, 17:41:35)

    18. AWESOME! No pending action items from last meeting. Nice work everyone!! (jflory7, 17:45:22)

  5. Tickets (jflory7, 17:46:10)
    1. https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issues?tags=meeting (jflory7, 17:46:16)
    2. === Ticket #102: "Improving Fedora Elections Process: Nomination process" === (jflory7, 17:46:58)
    3. https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/102 (jflory7, 17:47:03)
    4. Past and current "election wranglers" of Fedora identified that the nomination process sometimes faces issues. The biggest problem was consistently communicating with the public and also nominees. The public should know with enough time to cast nominations for positions up for election. After, nominees receive updates about the campaign process. This has always been done manually. (jflory7, 17:50:37)
    5. Additionally, another issue is finding out what teams wish to hold elections. Normally it is consistent, but sometimes, edge cases happen where a team that doesn't normally hold elections decides to hold them. This happened recently with the Fedora Ambassador Steering Committee holding their elections. (jflory7, 17:51:26)
    6. IDEA: Filing upstream tickets for long-term improvement to the voting application to handle (1) nominations, and (2) questionnaire submissions (jflory7, 17:56:01)
    7. https://github.com/fedora-infra/elections (jflory7, 17:57:30)
    8. https://github.com/benadida/helios-server (FranciscoD, 18:02:25)
    9. IDEA: Maintaining the communication bar we set for the last election: CommBlog / Magazine posts, announcement mailing list posts for nomination and voting process (jflory7, 18:06:28)
    10. IDEA: Short-term, trying to better communicate questionnaire as resource for people to edit / add to for nominees to answer (jflory7, 18:06:54)
    11. ACTION: jflory7 File feature tickets in Election app for (1) nomination of candidates, and (2) questionnaire question interaction (e.g. submitting new questions) (jflory7, 18:10:45)
    12. === Ticket #103: "Improving Fedora Elections Process: Improving Voter Participation" === (jflory7, 18:12:53)
    13. https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/103 (jflory7, 18:12:58)
    14. Voter participation has been a key focus point of Fedora elections. In the past, we struggled to have significant participation but it has gradually improved (with the last cycle reaching the second highest record of voter participation for some groups). For the past couple of election cycles, we have tried using some of the following methods to better engage the voting community: (jflory7, 18:14:31)
    15. (1) Community Blog posts for candidate interviews leading up to the election (jflory7, 18:14:52)
    16. (2) Posts on the announce mailing list at the start of the voting period, but also close to the end (jflory7, 18:15:08)
    17. (3) Using social media to promote the election window being open (jflory7, 18:15:20)
    18. Some of the new ideas we have had to improve voter participation are… (jflory7, 18:15:40)
    19. (1) A single, general post on the Fedora Magazine announcing the elections (jflory7, 18:16:05)
    20. (2) Having a badge for voters to receive at the end of the voting period (while keeping in mind potential privacy issues that could arise from such a badge) (jflory7, 18:16:32)
    21. (3) Having nominee AMAs (Ask Me Anything) hours on the Fedora subreddit, /r/Fedora (or maybe another social media platform of a candidate's choice) (jflory7, 18:17:06)
    22. (4) Finding ways to build automated reports of candidates for positions while keeping it general and fair to participants - this idea should be approached with caution (jflory7, 18:17:40)
    23. IDEA: Running data analysis on past election participation data would be helpful to understand our impact (cc: bee2502?) (jflory7, 18:25:05)
    24. IDEA: Seriously investigate the idea of having a badge for voter participation (consider security concerns!) (jflory7, 18:27:28)
    25. IDEA: Holding AMA on IRC (a la freenode AMA style) and syncing traffic in IRC channels to Telegram to promote participation and awareness of the election process (needs discussion with jkurik) (jflory7, 18:28:13)
    26. ACTION: jflory7 Summarize this discussion into the ticket, try to get opinion of jkurik (and also bee2502 for metrics) in the ticket (jflory7, 18:29:11)

  6. Community Blog (jflory7, 18:30:58)
    1. How This Works: There is a quick blast of information about what was published in the past week with some metrics, followed by posts that are being drafted. After the information blast, the floor is opened for any Community Blog-related discussion. Here we go! (jflory7, 18:31:06)
