Since I can’t apologize for the Fedora Board, I’ll apologize and explain for myself. Despite feeling that we are doing the best we can for Fedora in this situation, I feel bad that we abused our relationship with Fluendo.
We once again are in the midst of making the same mistake we made for Fedora […]
As part of trying to make it clearer wtf the Fedora Project Board does (buzzwords: open, visible, accountable), we decided to start holding open meetings once a month (approximately one out of every four meetings.) The current goal is to use the Project’s Asterix server, so the Board can talk in real time and […]

First, some caveats:
Popularity is measured by how many Fedora account system (FAS) members are in the FAS group
Overarching groups such as ‘cla_done’ and ‘cla_fedora’ don’t count, since nearly every member has one of those
The count here is done today (2008-02-15 2030 UTC); I mirrored a current snapshot here; note that the links on that page […]

After a comment made by Josh Boyer on the fedora-advisory-board, I was prompted to make a blog post, “WTF is the Fedora Project Board“. This morning I was looking through my blog archives on LiveJournal when I discovered that I actually started this series with a post there, “Understanding the difference between the Fedora […]

Pardon the epithet in this post’s title. I’ve been hearing this question for a long time, since before I sat on the Board, and ignoring it isn’t making it go away. So I give up already! I’ve now been on the Board long enough to be able to make a reasonable stab […]
As a last hackfest item before my flight, we’re talking with Red Hat’s press/comms superstar Leigh Day about Fedora marketing. She is leading a mini-design thinking session with us around everything from our communications mechanism to how we handle event planning and execution.
We’ll have to rely upon someone else here to transcribe our notes, […]

Catching the last of the low December sun’s afternoon heat out in the back 1/20th, I just finished casting a ballot for the Fedora Project Board elections. Some elections are spit-easy to vote in, and some are difficult.
This Board election stirs several feelings in me. One is the pain of sorting through a […]

Have you ever thought that Fedora could use better leadership and direction? Or you like what you see and you want more of it?
Been expressing your opinions and might have enough others who would vote for you?
Nominate yourself for the Fedora Project Board, the elections are underway and voting opens this week.
BTW, I heard a […]

Massive props to John Poelstra and FESCo for the creation and stewardship of the Fedora feature process.
As a documenter, this initiative was pretty important to me. I wanted to see that our release overview/summary and full release notes actually talked about features that mattered and were real. Too often we found out about […]

We’ve gotten pretty good at community written release notes. A few more silly bugs for Fedora 8 than before (and my bad for not helping to make them better — this is the first release since FC4 where I didn’t edit the entire release notes before they went over for translation), but really nothing […]
