This is a tracking ticket for establishing a process by which we get
regular feedback from the Fedora contributor base.
This is a companion to https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/1. The
desired goals, methodology, and basically everything else are really
different between users and contributors it will be better to track them
separately.

#27: Proposed Schedule for PRD Refresh
----------------------+-------------------
Reporter: sgallagh | Owner:
Status: new | Priority: normal
Component: General | Keywords:
----------------------+-------------------
As discussed in the Hangout meeting today, we need to do a periodic
refresh of the PRDs to make sure they are kept up-to-date. I propose that
each of the Edition, Base and Env/Stacks groups should provide an update
by 23:59 UTC on June 12, 2015 for review. This gives a little over a week
for them to be reviewed prior to the Change Submission Freeze as currently
scheduled.

I have proposed a new Spin for astronomers, the Astronomy Spin. It's using
only packages already in Fedora. I am requesting trademark approval for
this spin.

#22: Objective Proposal: University Involvement
----------------------+-------------------
Reporter: sgallagh | Owner:
Status: new | Priority: normal
Component: General | Keywords:
----------------------+-------------------
I alluded to this during the Council meeting on Monday, so I'm going to
attempt to turn this into a formal proposal.
== Objective: University Involvement ==
=== Overview ===
Increase Fedora's exposure in university environments, particularly
engineering universities.
=== Expected Impact ===
Increased user base with a specific focus on future contributors.
=== Timeframe ===
For maximum effect, if we elect to work towards this Objective, we should
kick it into gear at the beginning of the summer with the intent of having
events planned during the 2015-2016 school year.
=== Aspects ===
* Coordinate marketing, ambassador and outreach groups to focus on
university needs
* Work with universities to provide install-fests during student
orientation periods
* Work with universities to regularly run Fedora-focused hackfests
* Work with university IT departments to co-maintain one or more Fedora
computer labs (and help them upgrade them during breaks)
* Establish work-study, co-op and for-credit programs at universities
=== Metrics ===
* Increased contributions from university programs
* Increased bug reports and feature requests
* Increased mind-share among potential contributors (not easily measured)
=== Additional Notes ===
Some prototypes of this have been performed at Brno universities over the
last few years, with very positive results. We should coordinate with the
contributors involved in those efforts and learn from their successes and
failures.
There is also a University Outreach program run by Red Hat's "Open Source
and Standards" department which was involved in the RIT partnership from
which we eventually acquired Remy DeCausemaker. I assume he will have
plenty to add to this discussion as well as contacts in the university
world.

#21: Permission for using Fedora trademarks for "Bantuan Fedora Indonesia"
---------------------+-------------------
Reporter: salimma | Owner:
Status: new | Priority: normal
Component: General | Keywords:
---------------------+-------------------
Some Indonesian contributors are working on utilizing [https://github.com
/fedora-id/asknot-ng asknot-ng] for providing a landing page for users
(and potential users) to get a clear picture of localized Fedora resources
and potential ways of contributing .
The main Fedora instance of asknot-ng powers
[http://whatcanidoforfedora.org/ What Can I Do For Fedora]; for ours we
have not decided yet what domain we will use.
To generate the static site from the code on GitHub, the original
instructions apply, but use this invocation instead:
````
./asknot-ng.py templates/index.html questions/bantuan.yml --theme fedora
````
We will probably create a substitute theme if permission to use Fedora
branding is not obtained; we plan on contributing translations for the
main site as well.
If this requires a discussion at an upcoming meeting, let me know and I'll
notify the others to attend as well. Thanks!

Flock.

discuss/2015-May/013375.html
Sorry for the rush, but since the planned date is drawing near, we would
like to hear a decision soon. Thanks!
Besides, it seems not very good to delay the event further because of
upcoming F22 release and unsync with local LUG activities.

#34: Trademark permission request for the "Fedora Bootstrap" project
------------------------+-------------------
Reporter: jcapik | Owner:
Status: new | Priority: normal
Component: Trademarks | Keywords:
------------------------+-------------------
Hello.
This February we resurrected a project called "Fedora Bootstrap", that was
started approximately 4-5 years ago. We requested an authorized logo since
the former one didn't follow the trademark guidelines and then wanted to
announce the project as Fedora affiliated, but according to Kevin Fenzi
and Matthew Miller there might be a problem with the project name itself
as it contains the word "Fedora". The purpose of the project is to cure
Fedora specific bootstrap issues and it can not be used for other distros.
Therefore changing the name just because of the legal stuff seems insane
to me. Matt adviced me to request trademark permission here.
The project homepage is at http://fedora-bootstrap.osop.rhcloud.com/
Please, let me know whether we can keep the name and announce the homepage
AS IS, or whether we need to do tweaks.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jaromir Capik.
