Fedora priorities for RH CPE team -- let's make a list
by Matthew Miller
Red Hat's Community Platform Engineering Team¹ works on Fedora
infrastructure and release engineering as part of Red Hat's overall Linux
organization, which runs on a quarterly planning process. Q4 planning is
coming up in early September, and CPE leadership has asked for "insights"
from the Fedora community as an input into that process.
Obviously a lot of that team works directly in Fedora on a day-to-day basis,
so this isn't meant to be a low-level work request detail. The request is
for a high-level overview of what we as a project care about from RH's
contribututions to the project via this team for October, November, and
December.
This is the start of what I expect will be a new routine — we'll do this
again in late November for Q1 2021² and so on. But for now the focus is on
Q4. With the datacenter move wrapping up, the auth system replacement
hopefully by then successful, etc., what is now most important and most
urgent?

Team directory docs
by Ben Cotton
Hi all,
I've published the first draft of the docs for the team directory in
an attempt to address the questions raised in last week's meeting:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/council/procedures/team_directory/
This incorporates the high points from the original discussion at the
November 2019 face-to-face as well as the pre-Nest virtual
face-to-face earlier this month.
Does this make the expectations and purpose more clear?
(Note that this is not yet linked from anywhere else. That will happen
once we're relatively settled with the content)

[2020-08-27] [minutes] Outreach survey, Women's Day, and docs
by Justin W. Flory (he/him)
Hi all! The D&I Team meeting wrapped up just a while ago. We were fewer
in number, but time zones and volunteering are hard. :)
Major highlights:
* Help out on our docs! We have several tickets ready to new
contributors (or old contributors working on docs for the first time)
* Need data review on Outreach Team survey for Ambassadors Revamp
* Need data review on FWD planning survey
Our next check-in is in two weeks on Thursday, 10 September 2020 at
14:00 UTC.
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/meeting/9784/
Have a great rest of your week. Notes/minutes below.

Historical context for Council ticket priorities?
by Ben Cotton
Hi everyone,
Does anyone have historical context for what the Council ticket
priorities mean? As I'm going through documenting processes, it seems
like the tickets repo is a good thing to document as well. But these
priorities are....not clear:
* OMG Urgent!!!1
* Needs Review
* Next Meeting
* Coming Up
* Waiting on Assignee
* Waiting on Reporter
* Waiting on External
In particular, I could make a case for any arrangement of "Needs
Review", "Next Meeting", and "Coming Up". If someone knows what we
meant by these when they were created, that would be a good starting
point.
I plan on suggesting some changes anyway (priority and status are
different axes, and we're treating them the same right now), so if
there's no history available then I'll just skip this and work on a
proposal for cleaning it up. But if there's some amount of knowledge
to document, I'd like to get that written down now and fix it when we
get around to changing the priorities.
Thanks,
BC

* General ticket for organizing FWD 2020. This ticket is the main
ticket and is a little disorganized. We should identify the top
tasks to work on in August and break them out into new tickets.
(jwf, 14:21:22)
* ACTION: siddharthvipul to request new badges for Virtual FWD 2020
(nasirhm, 14:27:15)
* Global or regional? Team is unsure if we have bandwidth and time for
organizing global events. We have never done that before. Supporting
local, smaller events is easier for us to plan with our limited
bandwidth/time. (jwf, 14:38:52)
* AGREED: Pick a 3-day window in September for FWD, create a poll for
figuring out specific dates, use Hopin for a global event featuring
content local organizers. (jwf, 14:46:45)
* Note: There are a lot of "if's" and open questions about how this
will work. We have never done this before! So we will figure out
some details as we go, and we will adapt to changes to our plans as
best we can. (jwf, 14:47:20)

* At GNOME GUADEC 2020, Fedora D&I team members attended the GNOME D&I
team Birds of a Feather session. The GNOME D&I team wants to get
more involved with global diversity events. We mentioned FWD as
something we have done for years. The GNOME folks were interested in
joining forces with Fedora on this! (jwf, 14:53:58)
* At Nest 2020, we discussed for a very short time about collaborating
with Regina Nkemchor Adejo about this but did not get far. (jwf,
14:54:28)
* ACTION: jwf Reach out to GNOME D&I folks and co-conspire to schedule
a meeting date/time via WhenIsGood (jwf, 14:56:44)
* We should gather context from GNOME D&I folks in advance of the call
(jwf, 14:57:15)
* do they want to do a GNOME women's day along side of FWD, OR do
they want to participate in FWD? (jwf, 14:57:27)
