Fedora Council policy proposal: Community Publishing Platforms
by Ben Cotton 28 Sep '20

28 Sep '20

The Fedora Council is considering a new policy to define Community Publishing Platforms. It provides a loose framework of how moderation is handled in cases that involve the Fedora Trademark[1]. The policy as proposed[2] by Justin W. Flory, with edits from the Fedora Council, is found in Fedora-Council/council-docs#67. For more information on the reasoning and background behind this proposal, see the Fedora Community Blog[4]. Please use this thread for comment. There is a two-week community comment period after which time the Council will begin voting on the proposal.

Modularity Fedora Objectives
by Martin Curlej 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi, I am the new Product Owner of the Modularity project in Red Hat. I want to present to you the proposal for the Modularity objective for Fedora[1]. This follows the process as is described by the docs[2]. We already started the work on some of the points described in the objective. Mostly fixing bugs and making Modularity more stable and user friendly. The objective is here to highlight the changes and give an estimate on the timeline in the near future.

Fedora Censorship status
by Daniel Pocock 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

At various times this year, people have written things that appeared on Planet Fedora and other people had no right of reply because their blogs were never included there or blogs had been actively censored. Given the latest discussions taking place about what potentially amounts to censorship, I feel it is critical that anybody with a view is able to use all communication channels, including Planet Fedora, to draw attention to whatever concerns they have.

Re: Fedora Council policy proposal: Community Publishing Platforms

So, we could assume that a Community Publishing Platform is whatever platform with the Fedora trademark? And such platform is supposed to follow the Fedora CoC. Let's assume a group of passionate users (or a single one) using the Fedora trademark on a blog or wathever. In this case the Council has final say on decisions related to this platform only if things go wrong? I mean, if the platform isn't official, isn't "approved", isn't endorsed by the Council, but it is a polite and a nice place and there are not complaints involving the CoC, is it OK? Ciao, A.

But a Publishing Platform is limited to blogging, microblogging (twitter, fb?) and "video blogging". Or also a forum is a publishing platform. What about Reddit? Instead, chat platforms are not publishing platforms, right? Thanks, A.

(This is to gather *everyones* preference, organizers, presenters, & attendees) https://pagure.io/fedora-mindshare/virtual-events/issue/1 **************************************************************** **************************************************************** Hello Fedora Friends, We are coming up on the latest release of Fedora and we have a unique opportunity to create a global event to celebrate! How it will be structured is being worked on by the Mindshare Committee. The general idea will most likely shape up to be something like: We will use HopIn, length of the event is determined by the platform (72 hours) 1 or 2 "global sessions" organized by leadership on each day (3-6 total) an unlimited number of "local" sessions submitted by the community (???) - could be by team - could be by location - could be by language For now the first step is to choose dates. We are looking at three different weekends (Fri, Sat, & Sun) to schedule the event. November 6th - 8th November 13th - 15th November 20th - 22nd Please indicate your preference for a date. If you would like to help organize a session, please note that as well. Here is the ticket to leave your preference: https://pagure.io/fedora-mindshare/virtual-events/issue/1 Cheers! -- Marie Nordin Fedora Community Action and Impact Coordinator Red Hat <https://www.redhat.com/> • Fedora Project <https://getfedora.org/> She/Her/Hers T: +1.973.800.4967 IRC: riecatnor <https://red.ht/sig>
