Fedora Docs Steering Committee
by Karsten Wade 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

As part of the evolution of the Fedora Project, we have formed a steering committee to oversee documentation activity. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SteeringCommittee The Fedora Documentation Steering Committee (FDSC) is: * Gavin Henry * Karsten Wade (chair/project lead) * Mark Johnson * Paul Frields * Stuart Ellis * Tammy Fox * Tommy Reynolds ## More information below than you want to read, unless you want to: In essence, the overall Fedora Steering Committee empowers the Fedora Documentation Steering Committee (FDSC) to run the documentation project according the guidelines of the overall project. The chair of the committee (that's me) is then accountable for the entirety of the documentation process. The chair can delegate any of those tasks, from writing and editing to managing CVS and Web publication. In fact, the structure is such that the chair -must- delegate or drown in the workload. All committee work is done in the open. Read the charter and process docs linked from the Wiki page above for more information. It is a stated goal of Fedora steering committees to be balanced with members of the Fedora community. This translates as, "People who don't work for Red Hat." For this reason, we have formed the first round of the committee with four members of the community-at-large and three of us from Red Hat. If you want all the gory details of what the committee does and how it works, read the charter and process docs. These people were picked for the committee because of merit. In the future, when there is more room on the committee and/or sub-committees are created, we will be looking around for other project members who merit inclusion. My objective, in chairing the committee and running the project, is to get relevant Fedora documentation written. My emphasis is on quality over quantity. You will see the FDSC active on the list, working out processes, and working within and without process to get stuff done. There are advantages to having a minimal amount of order. Many here would agree with this approach. It is easier to get stuff done. Even grassroots organizing is organized. There are also advantages of process. Without enough good process, the project will not survive. A company can enforce process on their management of a distro, but for a community to buy into the process, it must arise from the community. There will be necessary process created and followed for this project.
