!topic Flock to Fedora CfP Helpful Tips Post

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:08:46

Ages ago we decided to post something to help folks connect their talk proposals with the cfp themes. I sent you all a link to the google doc I drafted. Can we get this published this week, asap please?

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:09:10

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PFhUwvAR7KbYv3tb8Q5Rw_Rl9JSZryptoDSisCRkQfg/edit?usp=sharing

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:09:46

Apologies everyone for the closed link - council members have access, but as its a working doc its not publicly shared yet :/

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:10:22

I really want this out this week, by Friday - anyone have any objections?

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:10:38

is this for posting to Discourse, or Fedora Magazine?

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:10:43

(or Community Blog)?

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:10:54

both, all. A billboard if we could :D

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:11:42

Needs an editing pass, but I'm +1 to the content

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:11:51

Im creating a proposal statement, if we agree I will turn it into an !agreed statement

<@nhanlon:beeper.com>

15:11:53

I hear you can get those for cheap in some states...

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:13:28

<@jbrooks:matrix.org>

15:14:25

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:14:32

Ill add in a comment at the end and you can comment +1 to it

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:14:38

Friday is a holiday in some European countries, or at least parts of Germany. I wonder if it is better to hold until the golden Tuesday slot

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:14:39

Ill take that as a formal ack then

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:18:38

15:19:10

!topic Council Hackfest Summary Write Ups

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:20:02

Last year we wrote summaries on each topic we discussed, which was a bit heavy but is the right thing to do for transparency and to give more context to our live meetbot notes so, who wants to own a topic?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:20:32

I guess I am obligated for budget 😛

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:20:46

Ive already done one for How the council works, which covers the initiative changes and working with FESCo and Mindshare on shared reporting

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:21:08

bookwar: is drafting the AI stuff too so thats covered

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:21:27

I think I am on the hook for the strategy sessions.

<@sumantrom:fedora.im>

15:21:34

I have a11y on me and the initiate the a11y roadmap on me

<@bookwar:fedora.im>

15:21:41

Do we have a shared folder with all whiteboard pictures already?

<@sumantrom:fedora.im>

15:21:43

also mindshare

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:22:11

yes hold on

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:23:02

we need ownership on summaries for the Strategy conversation, Process Updates (I think we can cover FE Legal and Conflict of Interest under this one), Mindshare, DEI Event Policy (this should be short) and thats really the most important ones

<@bookwar:fedora.im>

15:23:11

No rush, and I have some for my items, just wanted to have it in all in one place.

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:23:41

So I will tag mattdm for Strategy, JWW (@jflory7) for Budget, Sumantro Mukherjee for Mindshare

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:23:44

I am not going to raise my hand for anything else other than budget because that is going to take most of my brain cells 😛

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:23:56

oh wait no, the one I have as too-restrictive permissions. Aoife Moloney is there somewhere I should put them?

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:24:10

we need ownership on summaries for the Strategy conversation, Policies (I think we can cover FE Legal and Conflict of Interest under this one), Mindshare, DEI Event Policy (this should be short) and thats really the most important ones

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:24:13

I also want to talk about the regional approach with events and hackfests, but I am not going to tie that closely to the hackfest because I have been having this conversation in a few different places, not just Council

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:24:30

there is the FESCo/provenpackager thing too, but that probably should be just mentioned and handled separately?

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:25:06

Yeah that kind of was a topic on its own that came out of the Policies day

<@sumantrom:fedora.im>

15:25:16

we can chat/meet about this later!

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:25:48

So I can summarize the Policies topic and include DEI, Conflict of interest and FE Legal. I plan to group them together

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:26:38

Wrt where to put pictures, if we dont have a shared folder on google drive I can create one

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:26:39

yeah, that sounds good

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:27:03

Can we try get these summaries done by end of next week?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:27:08

I'll make a Google Photos shared album

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:28:07

I have a draft on discourse written in the News and Announcements category and I thought we could use the 'linked topics' feature to post the summaries from that initial post. Is this the right category, and is that the right approach do you think?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:28:28

Just made it and shared it with you all over email

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:29:49

^^ ?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:30:03

No opinion, I am not the right person to ask about Discussion 😅

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:30:54

one sec

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:31:17

Aoife Moloney: post it to https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/workflows/future/77, and we can schedule it from there

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:31:44

Ack, will do

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:32:31

!action mattdm will provide a summary on the Strategy topic from the Council f2f 2025

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:32:52

!action JWW (@jflory7) will provide a summary on the Budget topic from the Council f2f

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:33:17

!action Sumantro Mukherjee will provide a summary on the Mindshare committee proposal from the Council f2f

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:33:40

!action bookwar will provide a summary on the AI topic from the Council f2f

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:34:28

!action @amoloney will provide a summary on how the council works topic, and summarize the policies we discussed from the Council f2f

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:35:39

!agreed These summaries will be posted to discourse as linked topics from an original post, and topics will be reviewed by all council members before going live for accuracy. This activity will finish by the end of February 2025

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:36:10

!topic Ticket follow ups

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:37:02

I have an action to create tickets containing all the action items each council member signed up for, I havent forgotten and I will get to this probably early next week :)

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:38:05

Each council member has also been assigned tickets from the council repo. Please dont forget about them and flag it to others if you are finding it hard to work on it so we can rehome the request

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:39:24

I have one more discussion topic to bring as well here if theres nothing more to be said on the tickets?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:39:36

Nothing here from me

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:40:51

ok, moving on then!

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:41:08

!topic Proven Packager Incident Follow Up

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:42:27

The council have been conducting our own investigation, as requested, into this incident, and we have reached the end of our investigation into the issue. We have reached a conclusion and have identified a number of next steps for this.

<@dcantrell:fedora.im>

15:42:37

so I (and bookwar) am taking the lead on updating the docs for FESCo

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:42:47

"!info" that?

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:42:58

Yeah I will do

<@dcantrell:fedora.im>

15:43:01

we will be doing a draft and posting on discourse for public comment before we make a PR for the fesco docs

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:43:09

!info The council have been conducting our own investigation, as requested, into this incident, and we have reached the end of our investigation into the issue. We have reached a conclusion and have identified a number of next steps for this.

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:44:14

!info The first step we wish to take is to formally reach out to Peter Robinson to discuss with him the Councils conclusions

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:45:41

!info The council would then like to make our report public, with the actions we are taking to improve this situation for the future

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:46:07

Not only would we like to, we will :)

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:46:48

!info One of these steps is to work with FESCo to review and make changes the Proven Packager guidelines that bring more clarity, which FESCo had already noted needed improvements

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:49:17

!info Another step is to create a 'meta-policy' that can be used by any group in the Fedora Project to aid them when finding they need to make a decision that impacts someones ability to contribute to Fedora in a significant way. We expect this to be used as a framework that will keep the groups authority and integrity, but also ensure 'big decisions' are being done in the right way for Fedora

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:51:04

we should probably call it something other than "the meta-policy". It's not quite _that_ meta. :)

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:51:24

I mean, eventually. this is fine for the meeting notes

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:51:28

In time 😉

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:52:08

yeah that was a term we were using in the f2f for just ease of reference :D

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:53:09

Ok so, thats where council is at with things. Were at the end of our investigation, we have a number of what we hope will be positive steps coming from this, but first thing we need to do is meet with Peter formally so he has been included in the conversation too

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:53:29

I believe mattdm and dcantrell have been actioned for this

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

15:53:56

Thanks folks for your effort on this. I regret that I have not been as engaged on it as I would have liked. But I think the approach we are taking is right, and we will use this as a learning experience 💪

I have also been talking to Peter and next week is a good week for him to meet. Would you like me to arrange the call? I am also happy to be there to facilitate if needed

<@mattdm:fedora.im>

15:54:41

that would be very helpful -- thanks!

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:55:54

!action mattdm & dcantrell to formally meet with Peter Robinson during the week of Feb 17th - 21st 2025 to discuss the Councils conclusion into the Proven Packager Incident

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:56:25

!action @amoloney will schedule the meeting and attend as facilitator

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

15:57:45

Ok thats all from me, I just wanted to highlight this today following some good advice from someone about mentioning this more publicly as we have been working on it, we have a path forward and it was time to bring it to some kind of resolution for everyone

<@amoloney:fedora.im>
