This is a tracking ticket for establishing a process by which we get
regular feedback from the Fedora contributor base.
This is a companion to https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/1. The
desired goals, methodology, and basically everything else are really
different between users and contributors it will be better to track them
separately.

#38: Dopr
------------------------+-------------------

Hi,
we (as Copr team) would like to introduce new service "DOPR".
It is very easy. It combine user Dockerfile and user's Copr and create new
docker image on DockerHub.
You can see staging instance at:
http://dopr-dev.cloud.fedoraproject.org/
We would like to start production instance. However some members of
fedora-infra would like to see this go through Council first.
There is some sense on this as this is kind of new way of distribution of
Fedora (beside Spins, Remixs...).
It creates all docker images directly on DockerHub so technically speaking
they are not created in Fedora infrastructure, but they are created under
Fedora account.
And we would like to market it as "Fedorea + Copr" or similar.
So my question: Does Fedora Council approve granting trademark usage on
resulting docker images?

#27: Proposed Schedule for PRD Refresh
----------------------+-------------------

As discussed in the Hangout meeting today, we need to do a periodic
refresh of the PRDs to make sure they are kept up-to-date. I propose that
each of the Edition, Base and Env/Stacks groups should provide an update
by 23:59 UTC on June 12, 2015 for review. This gives a little over a week
for them to be reviewed prior to the Change Submission Freeze as currently
scheduled.

I have proposed a new Spin for astronomers, the Astronomy Spin. It's using
only packages already in Fedora. I am requesting trademark approval for
this spin.

#22: Objective Proposal: University Involvement
----------------------+-------------------
Reporter: sgallagh | Owner:
Status: new | Priority: normal
Component: General | Keywords:
----------------------+-------------------
I alluded to this during the Council meeting on Monday, so I'm going to
attempt to turn this into a formal proposal.
== Objective: University Involvement ==
=== Overview ===
Increase Fedora's exposure in university environments, particularly
engineering universities.
=== Expected Impact ===
Increased user base with a specific focus on future contributors.
=== Timeframe ===
For maximum effect, if we elect to work towards this Objective, we should
kick it into gear at the beginning of the summer with the intent of having
events planned during the 2015-2016 school year.
=== Aspects ===
* Coordinate marketing, ambassador and outreach groups to focus on
university needs
* Work with universities to provide install-fests during student
orientation periods
* Work with universities to regularly run Fedora-focused hackfests
* Work with university IT departments to co-maintain one or more Fedora
computer labs (and help them upgrade them during breaks)
* Establish work-study, co-op and for-credit programs at universities
=== Metrics ===
* Increased contributions from university programs
* Increased bug reports and feature requests
* Increased mind-share among potential contributors (not easily measured)
=== Additional Notes ===
Some prototypes of this have been performed at Brno universities over the
last few years, with very positive results. We should coordinate with the
contributors involved in those efforts and learn from their successes and
failures.
There is also a University Outreach program run by Red Hat's "Open Source
and Standards" department which was involved in the RIT partnership from
which we eventually acquired Remy DeCausemaker. I assume he will have
plenty to add to this discussion as well as contacts in the university
world.

#21: Permission for using Fedora trademarks for "Bantuan Fedora Indonesia"
---------------------+-------------------
Reporter: salimma | Owner:
Status: new | Priority: normal
Component: General | Keywords:
---------------------+-------------------
Some Indonesian contributors are working on utilizing [https://github.com
/fedora-id/asknot-ng asknot-ng] for providing a landing page for users
(and potential users) to get a clear picture of localized Fedora resources
and potential ways of contributing .
The main Fedora instance of asknot-ng powers
[http://whatcanidoforfedora.org/ What Can I Do For Fedora]; for ours we
have not decided yet what domain we will use.
To generate the static site from the code on GitHub, the original
instructions apply, but use this invocation instead:
````
./asknot-ng.py templates/index.html questions/bantuan.yml --theme fedora
````
We will probably create a substitute theme if permission to use Fedora
branding is not obtained; we plan on contributing translations for the
main site as well.
If this requires a discussion at an upcoming meeting, let me know and I'll
notify the others to attend as well. Thanks!
