Since Matt hates being the one to cancel meetings, I'll go ahead and do so. With many participants missing and Flock next week I doubt we were going to cover much today anyway. josh

[council] #60: Firefox: Don't increase fingerprint by adding "Fedora" to user agent
by fedora-badges 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

#60: Firefox: Don't increase fingerprint by adding "Fedora" to user agent -------------------------+------------------ Reporter: genodeftest | Owner: Status: new | Priority: minor Component: General | Keywords: -------------------------+------------------ == phenomenon == Since release 35 of Firefox, Fedora is shipping it with a branded user agent string. This increases the fingerprint, distinguishing it from all other linux users. As a result, it is quite easy to track Fedora's firefox users, which can be a violation of their privacy. == background analysis == Firefox has a distinct user agent unlike any other firefox distribution. == implementation recommendation == Drop [https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/firefox.git/tree/firefox- fedora-ua.patch firefox-fedora-ua.patch]. As a result, firefox' fingerprint will be the mozilla-provided default. ==additional information== I originally reported this as [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1343698 bug #1343698] at bugzilla. Martin Stransky told me to report it [https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1586#comment:3 at FESCo], where sgallagh told me to report it here. Additional info: The change for including "Fedora" in user agent string was proposed in [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1190774 bug #1190774] and rejected 4 years ago in [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824717 bug #824717] for the same reason I wrote above. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/60> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

meeting on monday
by Matthew Miller 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Hi everyone! I'll finally be back for the council meeting on Monday. I had that as "Subproject report (tbd)", but I never scheduled the tbd, and think maybe we should make it "ongoing tickets and items". Are there particular things you all see as important right now? We only have two meetings before Flock! -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Re: [council] #62: Fedora Security: possible trademark violation
by Josh Berkus 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Council, Whether or not Fedora Security is a trademark violation is a question for an attorney. If it is (and it certainly looks like it to me given the logo), my assessment is that the Fedora Security company is a 3-4 person independant consulting shop, and possibly no longer in business. As such, a single C&D letter is all that should be required.

Invitation to the FOSCo brainstorm meeting 2016-07-18 13:00 UTC
by Christoph Wickert 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Hi everybody, for quite some time now, Fedora has been discussing the idea of FOSCo, the Fedora Outreach Steering Committee, a body to coordinate all our outreach efforts. Now it's time to make it happen! On behalf of FAmSCo and the Fedora Council, I'd like to invite all of you to an all-hands FOSCo brainstorm meeting on Monday, August 18th at 13:00 UTC in #fedora-council on freenode So far, the following participants have confirmed attendance: * Ambassadors: cwickert, giannisk, gnokii, mailga, potty, tuanta * Council: mattdm * Design team: gnokii * Marketing: jflory7 * CommOps: jflory7 * Websites: mailga * Docs: zoglesby * g11n: noriko The fact that we already have a good team of volunteers should not stop you from attending, in fact, we would like to hear more voices from all stakeholders. The more, the better! To get an idea what FAmSCo has been working on so far, please have a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSCo and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSCo_status None of this is set in stone yet, and we feel we need your input before we go any further. We are looking forward to your input and to meet you next Monday! Best regards, Christoph

FOSCo progress
by Christoph Wickert 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Hi, I'm happy to report progress regarding FOSCo, the Fedora Outreach Steering Committee. 1. We set up two wiki pages at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSCo and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSCo_status 2. We have a representatives form all relevant groups * Ambassadors: cwickert and all FAmSCo members * Design team: gnokii * Marketing: jflory7 * CommOps: jflory7 * Websites: mailga * Docs: zoglesby * g11n: noriko For now all of them just volunteered to act as a point of contact while we bootstrap FOSCo. It's on the groups to decide whether they will be appoint somebody else later or just confirm the current representatives. robyduck has already volunteered to take over websites (he's just really busy atm) and noriko has indicated to step down at some point later. 3. We were able to schedule a brainstorm session with all representatives and FAmSCo members. It will take place in #fedora-council on Monday, August 18th at 13:00 UTC. Please join us! (I opted for #fedora-council as the other meeting channels have a tight schedule and only would allow for a 1,5h slot.) While we (mainly decause and me) initially set August 1st as deadline for FAmSCo to submit a final proposal to the council, I think it is important that we do it right and have the support from all teams, even if it takes a while. I'm confident that we can work something out for or during FLOCK and then we are basically back to the schedule we planned. Best regards, Christoph
