New Objective proposal
by Paul Frields
I've prepared the following page and would be grateful for Council feedback:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pfrields/Lifecycle_Objective
This objective stems from the talk that some folks may have seen me
give at Flock in Dresden. Our goal is ultimately to figure out how to
effectively deliver a more flexible platform and
application/userspace. Some of the improvements we hope to make
include those Matthew Miller has talked about frequently, such as
faster, iterative delivery. I'd propose myself as the Council
liaison/lead.
The Objective isn't "here are the <N> simple steps to make this so,"
but it does aim to get there as an early step in the process
(discovery/investigation and proposing solutions). In a rare alignment
of the stars, I happen to be able to bring hands to the table to work
on this Objective. :-) IOW, it's not a plea for help, although of
course we'll be (1) open to collaboration with anyone who wants to
pitch in, and (1) transparent to the community on plans and activities
(it's Fedora!).
Looking forward to your input.

Moving on from Council Engineering role
by Josh Boyer
Hello Fedora Friends,
I believe it's time for me to move on from my current role as the
Council Engineering representative. When I resigned from FESCo a bit
ago, I thought I could still fulfill this role. Unfortunately, that
turns out to not be the case. I cannot in good conscience hold a seat
on the Council and be an absentee member.
As we look to the future for Fedora, we need someone with more active
participation to be present. Fortunately, we have a large set of very
competent people that I believe can step into this role without issue.
While it is only a suggestion, I would like to nominate Petr Šabata as
the new Council Engineering rep. He is more than capable of
discussing the technical implications of Modularity and the newly
proposed Objective from Paul. The decision will ultimately be up to
FESCo and the Council of course.
These are important times for Fedora and I'm excited for the future!
I will continue to participate as I can and I'm looking forward to
seeing the directions we take as a project and as a distribution. It
has been an honor to be part of the Fedora Council for the past few
years. Thank you to the community for trusting me with that role for
so long.

[Fedocal] Reminder meeting : Council (Open Floor)
by mattdm@fedoraproject.org
Dear all,
You are kindly invited to the meeting:
Council (Open Floor) on 2018-10-10 from 10:00:00 to 11:00:00 US/Eastern
At fedora-meeting-1(a)irc.freenode.net
The meeting will be about:
The Fedora Council will hold our regular Open Floor meeting at 12:00pm
US/Eastern in #fedora-meeting-1 on irc.freenode.net. All are welcome!
To convert to your local time, run:
date -d 'TZ="US/Eastern" 10am tomorrow'
Open Floor meetings happen every four weeks. 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.

Re: [Design-team] Re: Considering a logo refresh
by Máirín Duffy
What do you think fellow, design team members?
Full disclosure, I brought this up to Matthew yesterday when we were discussing the ticket on converting the logo guidelines to asciidoc. We realized they have to be updated with some of the new stuff we've been working on (Fedora IoT logo, Fedora CoreOS logo, etc). And I complained about how I wish I could update the logo too :-)
I think a lot of us have struggled with the inability to do one color and the off-centeredness of the bubble. (And wouldn't an open source font be nice??)

This logic makes sense to me. I'm also open-minded to a 2018 refresh.
There should probably be some level of engagement with the Fedora Design
Team on this too.
It is too bad tattoos aren't as easy to update as Fedora. :)

Re: [Design-team] Re: Considering a logo refresh
by Máirín Duffy
Hi Onyeibo,
It's the Fedora logo itself that has issues. The other logos I mentioned were just something that had to be discussed in updating our logo docs that brought up the topic of changing the Fedora logo.
Cheers,
