For those of you who haven't no idea what "Fedora Community" is, its our newest Fedora web application, providing a window into the Fedora distribution, and leveraging the power of Fedora's Account System, Bodhi, Bugzilla, Koji, and PackageDB into a single user-friendly website. It is built entirely with Free Software, such as Moksha and Turbogears 2. Fedora Community is designed to simplify Fedora workflows and bring transparency to Fedora processes:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/community
What you see on that URL is our 1.0 milestone, but we already have lots of ideas on improvements and new functionality that we'd like to develop for our 2.0 release. So, we're going to have a public brainstorming session on Monday, August 3rd, 2009:
* The session will be held at 1500 UTC (11 AM Eastern)
(In addition, if there are enough interested international folks who cannot attend the session due to their timezone, please let me know, and we will try to schedule a future session that works for you)
We're going to use a variety of ways to be involved:
* IRC: #moksha on irc.freenode.net (we'll be watching and taking questions from the channel) * Gobby: We're going to keep our notes in Gobby, an open source collaboration tool. The name of our document is "Fedora Community Brainstorm", see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/GobbyHowTo for information on how to connect * Telephone: This is where we'll be doing the talking. US Toll-Free: 800-451-8679 Conference Code: 22717 79826 (If you need an international dial-in number, please email me with your country, and I may be able to provide it.) Please be kind and mute your line if you're not asking a question. If the noise on the call becomes unbearable, I will mute everyone. :)
Questions about the meeting? Email me. Questions about Fedora Community 2.0? Come to the brainstorming session! Can't make it to the session and want to suggest something? Login to Gobby and add it to our notes before the session.
Thanks,
Tom "spot" Callaway, Fedora Community Cat Herder
