The Council members were not informed in advance. They found out
about the layoffs at the same time the public did, and also found out
about Ben's specific role only after he informed others he was
impacted.
This isn't incorrect but I do want to clarify the timeline because it is what I would have wanted to know as a community member and there are events that may appear to be conflicting in the timeline (e.g. Ben's blog and my LinkedIn recommendation for him). We did have some advance notice before the general public. Ben mentioned the Red Hat reductions were announced in the US on 24 April and that was when we found out. We knew Ben's last day was 12 May. That was as much advance notice that we had.
The week of 24 April was not productive. It was a shocking week for nearly everyone. But we did start transitioning Ben's work before his final day and his blog post, which is why you are seeing incredibly helpful Fedorans who are stepping up right now and picking up the slack in Ben's absence (thank you folks!). There are going to be gaps. Some things will fall through the cracks. But we will get through this. Calling out slippage as Fedora Council tickets is likely the most effective way for (1) problems to be identified and noticed, and (2) for Fedora leadership to take steps at resolving those problems.
