The Fedora Council met today for our fortnightly meeting. Main topics for discussion today:
- #468: Welcoming the new Fedora Operations Architect, @amoloney
- #462: Council charter update: update Fedora Program Manager to Fedora Operations architect
- #412, #438: Updating the charter to improve Objectives; Council charter changes
Today’s meeting largely focused on reducing the backlog of pending documentation changes. Most notably, the Fedora Operations Architect role page is now published. Additionally, further enhancements were made to the Executive Sponsors role in the Community Initiatives page. This followed our Council hackfest in Frankfurt back in February. These changes and more were ratified and are now published.
We also briefly ventured into two new topics, which will likely be the basis for our next meeting:
- #361: Re-purpose the Fedora Atomic brand for unbranded rpm-ostree builds of Fedora
- Location for the next Fedora Council hackfest in 2024
Thanks all who attended today. See you next time!
