Public Money: Public Code
by Natale Vinto
Hello,
my name is Natale, and I write you here in order to ask you if Fedora
could be formally interested to join and sign the campaign "Public
Money Public Code" launched by FSFE [1], which aim is to promote and
support by the law the binomial between publicly funded software and
Free & Open Source software. [2]
Together with other supporting organisations [3], the FSFE is spreading this
concept through an open letter [4] to be signed by worldwide citizens,
addressed to their respective countries legislators.
At the moment, I don't see Fedora in that list [3], while there are
also distro like Debian and OpenSuse.
Do you think this initiative could be interesting also for Fedora and
Fedora People?
Operating systems are at the base of software development, joining
those folks for this particular aspect looks nice :)
What do you think about?
Thanks
Cheers,
Natale

Do we want to promote Fedora as "Linux"? How *do* we want people to
find us?
by Matthew Miller
This is not particular urgent; just some thoughts that have been
turning over in my mind for a bit.
Our current top-level marketing strategy is based primarily on the
three Fedora editions and their target audiences. We have a secondary
marketing strategy around more focused solutions: for example, the
Python Classroom Lab has the simple target of teachers and instructors.
Or the various desktop spins, which target enthusiasts of the
particular desktop technologies.
I'd love for each Edition WG and Spin/Lab SIG to come up with search
terms that reflect these goals — for example, ranking high for "desktop for
developers" might be a goal for Workstation.
But, specific editions aside, what kind of terms would we like to focus
on? I'd love for Fedora to be seen as the leader in community Linux
distros; should we target simple terms like just *Linux*? Beyond search
engines, do we *want* to market Fedora in that way? Or, do we want to
do the Android-style thing and market Fedora's OS offerings as their
own stand-alone brand?

[Fedocal] Reminder meeting : Council (Open Floor)
by mattdm＠fedoraproject.org
Dear all,
You are kindly invited to the meeting:
Council (Open Floor) on 2017-09-27 from 09:00:00 to 10:00:00 US/Eastern
At fedora-meeting(a)irc.freenode.net
The meeting will be about:
The Fedora Council will hold our regular Open Floor meeting at 9:00am
US/Eastern in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net. All are welcome!
To convert to your local time, run:

Open Floor meetings happen every other week. They do not have a
preset agenda. Instead, we spend the first few minutes of the
meeting deciding what topics will be discussed. If
attendees — Council members and otherwise — have several topics
of general interest, the primary meeting chair (usually the FPL
or FCAIC) will put them in order, and after a certain amount of
time discussing the first, ask if it's time to move on.
