Thanks for the clear outlay of the objectives. So, for now, I can
clearly see we are heading towards the right direction (with tracking
their journey through Tickets). I was thinking if we can add the
below links to the template which will also help newcomers.
whaticandoforfedora(https://whatcanidoforfedora.org/)
Fedora
Apps(https://apps.fedoraproject.org/) (optional)
How to contribute to Fedora? (
https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-contribute-to-fedora/)
In addition to the community links to help to get to know Fedora
Community, these links will make them stick to the purpose of
onboarding. Let me know what you think regarding adding these links?
Hrm, I was thinking that after the introduction has been received
(tagged: S: Introduced myself), we could move on to the "how to
contribute to fedora" link.
That way, they:
- first learn about FOSS and Fedora in general
- then, we get them slowly started with "how to contribute".
If we give them this link right at the start, they are likely to skip
all the others and try to find tasks again.
The apps link is useful for people that show interest in the infra side
of things. Otherwise, it'll be "too much information".
I'd leave wcidff as the last one, and the optional one. It again tries
to point people *quickly* to teams and tasks without people speaking to
us. So, this sort of goes against the idea of letting them get
comfortable with the people of Fedora first.
What do you think?

I took a look into the discussion for the Fedora Mission
https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/council-docs/pull-request/63# . I
think we should take a progress check on the ticket. What do you
think?
+1, always good to bump tickets. As we'll all have seen, the Council are
working on the Vision statement at the moment, and I expect once that
task is complete, the rest of all this will also be done, since it's all
related. Feel free to bump the ticket though :)

I am totally getting it. I this should be a later goal and not our
priority for now.
Awesome :)

I meant, the areas which are introduced in
https://whatcanidoforfedora.org/en like design, community ops, coding
should be described properly. For example, what the group does, who
can be a part of it, what is the aim of the group, etc. Currently, we
don't have any page which clearly tells about the different areas. Am
I making sense? Are you able to get what I am trying to convey?
This is meant to be it:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join
It includes:
- roles,
- requirements,
- tasks,
- teams linked to roles,
It's basically a one page version of wcidff. I'm not a fan of this
either. It throws everything there is to do at people, and that doesn't
help newbies---probably confuses them.
Each team has their own bits on the wiki or docs, and this at the moment
cannot be helped. The "Hubs" project was supposed to be sort of a
centralised app to help with all this, but that got shelved.o
https://pagure.io/fedora-hubs/
Also, for the easy fix, what do you think will be the requirements
to
make update once in a while ? I am up for finding some time regularly
to check on the status of tickets issued in the easyfix with your and
other Fedora Join SIG member’s help. I was thinking if the easyfix
requires the community people to jump into and add some tickets, how
about posting it in Fedora Program Update weekly posted in Fedora
Community Blog to draw attention of people in the community. I am not
sure if it's the right place to do it, but this can be a good way to
keep it updated and under attention. Let me know what are your views
regarding it.
At the moment, Easyfix is a static page that is simply regenerated
regularly:
https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedora-gather-easyfix
It can certainly be improved to make it more useful. It doesn't give us
any information on whether the tasks are being accepted and completed:
- does not mark new tasks,
- does not tell us how many new tasks were added, and when,
- does not tell us what tasks were taken up by people and completed.
So, we can't easily write a blog post each week that says "New tasks
added this week". It'll have to be done manually at the moment.

For what I am seeing, there are a couple of things that are dependent
on others, which might take a while to get started. Shortlisting
these, from all of the ideas which we can do for now,
1. Update the ticket-template
2. Try to update the easy fix
+1: tasks that can be done quickly and have high impacts.
Should we discuss improvements to easyfix in a new thread?
