Fedora Org Chart Update/Re-Design (looking for feedback!)

[riecatnor (Marie Nordin)]

I like that you assume I know which ones are which I know plenty about Fedora but haven’t internalized those since I’ve always been a Workstation user. Are all of the desktop spins listed on the Spins site?

While looking at the Spins site, I found the Labs site and I am wondering if it would make sense to break that off into it’s own area? I have a vague recollection of a discussion on this for the first version as well and we made the decision to condense them… can’t remember why tho happy to hear people’s thoughts on this.

Yes, they should be — that’s currently the distinction.

We found in practice that the terminology and the big split confuses people. But I think a small, unlabeled split just grouping things separately would help organize it a little bit.

I hope that makes sense!

This is a BIG discussion we have every single time someone cross with the distinct names and sites:

Naming on os-tree based variants

This topic have been discussed in other threads like Trademark approval Request for Sway spin, but not clearly defined. My opinion (I’m not humble enough to say “IMHO”) is that we (the fedora project) should define a name like “spin” or “labs” to these variants or finally decide if we are going to put all under an unique name like “Solutions” (see https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/labs-and-spins-in-the-shadow-of-editions/34143 and Fedora Strategy FAQ Part 3: What does this mean for Fedora …

@fale filed Fedora-Council/tickets ticket #424. Discuss here and record votes and decisions in the ticket. Ticket text:

"Labs" and "Spins" — in the shadow of Editions?

In this other thread, I mentioned that the Editions strategy necessarily left some of the other things we do in the shadows. I also think that, as we are at the end of 2014’s “Fedora.next” plan and are now figuring out our next phase, we can do more for those parts of the project. There are two different places this manifests, which I think require different approaches to address. First, there are areas where there are technology overlaps. GNOME and KDE, Xfce, Cinnamon, and other desktop envir…

Fedora Strategy FAQ Part 3: What does this mean for Fedora releases? – Fedora...

At some point there should become one as “Solutions”, but not sure how if that will be the final term or if we are going to just ignore it or came with a new name. Let us know to the rest of us what will be the final name or if we are going to keep the distinction between them.

The last revision is beautiful.

@riecatnor

I made significant look & feel changes based on a couple of Fedora Design team meetings I attended and received feedback. Previously it had a light background and used the range of Fedora colors. This design has a dark background and features variations of blue to denote hierarchy and grouped teams/efforts. Please provide feedback: do you feel the updated designs looks good/okay/bad, and how “readable” is it overall?

Is it possible that the project leadership groups (i.e. the central nodes: Fedora Council, FESCo, and Mindshare) are color-coded to something different? I feel like this upper-level groups need more visual distinction.

Would anyone be upset if I took the last render of the above org chart and committed it to the docs? For context, I was at Red Hat Summit this week and I pulled this up to talk to people about how Fedora is organized. It feels very comprehensive to me in its current form!

I apologize for not looking at this thread sooner but how much work would it be to change “Quality Assurance” to “Quality” or “Quality Team”?

There has been a recent discussion about changing the tag on Discourse and slowly changing other bits to match and it’d be great if the org chart matched.

[riecatnor (Marie Nordin)]

Hey folks- I needed to take a break from this project but I should be able to incorporate the various pieces of feedback in the next week or so… then I think it will be good to push to the docs

Thanks @riecatnor. This is not urgent. I’m looking forward to showcasing your great work on this.
