#70: Need official list of sub-projects ---------------------+--------------------- Reporter: bex | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: | ---------------------+--------------------- Comment (by jwboyer): Replying to [comment:5 bex]: > I understand your concerns Josh. I also was implying parts of your points smooge. I am less concerned with FAS groups (though in some cases they may be problematic) and I am not trying to strip anyone of a vote. Rather, I am thinking of two goals: > > 1) Being able to point people toward groups working in Fedora That's orthogonal to any kind of "official" status. It's mostly on the groups themselves to advertise, organize, and grow their SIG. Put another way, if they are working on a particular area it should be fairly evident they are doing so. If it isn't, then I would question how sustainable their activities are. > 2) Determine who is allowed to ask for Budget, officially represent us, etc. When we talked about opening up the budget process to try and allow for greater input, I seem to recall there being a requirement that you be a recognized sub-project. I don't recall that requirement, but I would suggest that anyone can ask for budget. We reserve the right to tell anyone "no", including FESCo or Edition workgroups. Clearly we're going to factor in the effort that has already been done into those requests. What I would hate to have happen is something truly innovative being killed because we denied the budget needed to take it from niche to a spectacular success story for Fedora simply because it wasn't "official". > The wiki hints at a process to become a SIG, etc. If we have this kind of a process then it implies that some groups have completed it and some groups are in process and others have not started. I think we just need to bring some definition. Learn this now: THE WIKI IS FULL OF FORMER TRUTHS, HALF-TRUTHS, AND LIES. > Lastly, I would like to consider trying to codify this information somewhere other than in the Wiki. It is a long term goal and a project I am not even ready to outline as a request for comments yet. I'd be interested in hearing more about that. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/70#comment:7> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
