Greetings all --
I created a change request for a new fedora spin, Netizen Spin, for F23.
The change request page can be found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Netizen_Spin
The spin page is located here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Netizen_Spin
Please advise accordingly so that this spin my be included in the upcoming
F23 release.
Thanks in advance,
--Corey

I assume that this spin would involve shipping some software in Fedora
with defaults significantly other than their defaults overall or in
Fedora Workstation. If so, let's talk about that.
Right now, the "scope" section suggests that this will primarily be an
_appearance_ thing — or at least, look-and-feel. I'm afraid that this
might actually be somewhat deceptive, if that's the case — people might
assume that the goal is similar to that of stand-alone distributions
aimed at privacy/anonymity, like Tails.

That's what I thought too. The introduction was very grandiose, but the
spin details doesn't cover any more than a package list. And just having
some special packages installed isn't going to be of much help to what
it seems like the targetted audience is.
I'd like to hear more about how you envision how this spin is going to
be used.
Targetting f23 might be ambitious if the idea is what I think it is.

Greetings Matthew --
That's a negative. No package defaults will be changed from their defaults.
The overall intention is the organization of the software and, perhaps, how
they are presented to the user. I am interested in organizing by users'
psychological needs rather than the typical applications categories. I
focused on security first since physiological needs obviously do not exist
in a digital space which contradicts Maslow's HoN. For example, security,
safety, social, design, etc would be application categories rather than
office, system, utilities, for instance, which need ergonomic improvement,
in my opinion. Simply, same fedora software with all original defaults, but
organized in an alternative and improved application taxonomy for users for
promoting online citizenship.
For the scope section's appearance, I was not certain how to address this
since trademarking and marketing will play roles in the spin, at least
according to the original spin process doc. I've always considered the
Sugar on a Stick a wonderful theme especially for kids so perhaps a citizen
type theme would be an ideal for Netizen. I have not begun to develop a
citizen theme since I have been waiting since January for my spin to be
wrangled while also waiting for some type of feedback. I am open to working
with marketing for a fitting theme, Matthew, or providing one myself, if
need be.
Thanks,
--Corey
PS I would concur that the published spin process is broken, as suggested
by another on this list.

Hello Corey
I'm having a bit of a problem with the concept. When you say organize
packages differently. do you mean that if you went to the Package
Manager software would be grouped according to Maslow's hierarchy,
rather than the normal Security, Office, etc? If so I would think this
is going to be confusing to a lot of people to find what packages they need.

Greetings David --
Thanks for the concern. The organization I am proposing is in two parts:
within the kickstart file which should not be an issue, I believe, and two,
within the app launcher menu. I expect dnf, yum, and the software
management tool to operate as usual for users without any issues.
An alternate way of thinking may take be needed, however, I intend to keep
it as simple as possible.
