Hence my comments in my "State of Fedora" address at FUDCon Blacksburg about improving the quality of FADs. During my time as FPL, I saw several of FADs that didn't have a clear goal, any clear metrics to gauge whether or not the FAD was successful, and no clear reporting after the FAD (except for a few blog posts that said "I went to such-and-such event"). My first experience with a FAD was a FAD for getting the Fedora Talk server up and running. While the Fedora Talk service was eventually shut down due to lack of use, I felt the FAD was successful because it had a very limited goal, we had a way of measuring whether or not the goal was being achieved, and we reported back after the FAD on what we did and what we learned. In my view, a FAD has to be about more than just getting people to events -- there has to be an underlying reason why sending someone to the FAD is a good use of Fedora resources. -- Jared Smith _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
