We have a number of people interested in rebooting the Websites team, and taking ownership of some of the webapps that help the Fedora community function. (This started around working on Møte, the meeting-log site, but has grown from there.) At a meeting today, we decided that this team will officially be the Websites and Apps Team, revitalizing the existing but mostly dormant Websites Team and expanding the scope so it's clear that apps are included rather than just static content. We are exploring the idea of a Fedora Council Objective to support the successful launch of this team. As a first step, we're going to have a planning meeting to talk about goals and outcomes, and work back from there. This will be a Jitsi video meeting (channel to be announced), and it'll be from 14:00-15:30 UTC a week from now (Friday, March 19th). All who are interested are invited. As "homework", I'd like to ask you to bring ideas for a mission statement for the team and a vision for what a 12-18 month objective would accomplish. We'll start from there and work down to specifics. (Note also: if you'd like to be involved but are more interested in concrete actions than high-level planning, that's cool too... you may be more interested in future meetings!) I personally see three goals for the initiative: * First and simply, we need a more active websites team, and many of our apps (møte, fedocal, badges, elections, ...) could _really_ use some love. * Second, we often have new folks showing up in Fedora Design who want to help with coding projects. We don't have a good place to point them. Often, we end up saying "well, you could package stuff?", or point people at the wall of 'easyfix' bugs with no real guidance. This team can be that landing spot. * And third and at not least, we've got a lot of energy and enthusiasm from some relatively new folks (hi, Akashdeep and Ramya!) who didn't let the above stop them. I want to make sure they feel empowered to help with the things they're interested in, and get the full support of the project in doing so. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ websites mailing list -- websites@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to websites-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/websites@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
