As per the results of our council discussion here
(https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/council-
discuss/2015-October/013742.html) we are heretofore establishing a new
page (wiki or otherwise) that will track the timeline and particulars of
the Fedora Public Budget. It shall include:
Budgetary Components, Projected and Adjusted for each fiscal year:
- Regional Budget Allocations (APAC/EMEA/LATAM/NA)
- Fedora Premier Event Budgets (FLOCK, FUDCon)
- Central Discretionary Fund (approved by Council)
- FAD specific Budgets
Budgetary Milestones and Timelines:
- August: In person meeting at FLOCK
- September: Proposed budget components and metrics from each region
- October: Ratification of Proposed Budget by Council
- March: Confirmation of Received budget w/ Adjustment Meeting
- Quarterly Check-ins with Regional Treasurers
- Halfly approvals of Regional Funds, pending metrics and outcomes
reporting
If there are other details or resources that should be included on this
page, feel free to leave them in the comments below. I would propose that
this page eventually be made available at http://budget.fedoraproject.org

[council] #65: Create standard operating procedure for how

#65: Create standard operating procedure for how treasurers interact with budget
---------------------+-------------------
Reporter: jflory7 | Owner:
Status: new | Priority: major
Component: General | Keywords: budget
---------------------+-------------------
'''Prenote''': Another form of this ticket is also filed in the
[https://pagure.io/fedora-budget fedora-budget] repository as
[https://pagure.io/fedora-budget/issue/18 fedora-budget#18].
= Problem =
It is unclear how Ambassador regional treasurers are expected to interact
and participate in reporting expenses with regards to the Fedora Budget.
= Analysis =
A lot of work was done in setting up this repository as a method for
publicly tracking expenses. I think using Pagure is an effective solution
and if properly taken care of, it will be an effective tool for us. But
right now, there is no clear information for how a treasurer is expected
to contribute to this repository or what the expectations even are.
A high priority item for this should be to create a standard operating
procedure (SOP) either as a separate DOC or in the README about '''what'''
treasurers will do with this repository, '''how''' they are expected to
contribute information, and maybe any details / information about
'''when''' this information is expected each fiscal year.
I think it's important that the Council helps take charge and action on
this to help maintain a healthy, active, and maintained version of the
Fedora budget. I see a lot of work that was put into this and I'm fearful
that it will be forgotten / left behind until it reaches a point where it
might be easier to start all over again with a different solution.
= Implementation =
1. Understand how treasurers reported this information in the past for
background context
2. Discuss with treasurers / regional representatives about how to help
make it easier to contribute this information and what their needs are
3. Begin drafting a first set of guidelines for how to contribute to the
fedora-budget repository
4. Share and put to vote with the Fedora Council
5. Begin following this SOP for all future engagements in this repository

#62: Fedora Security: possible trademark violation

Hello Council!
Abdel, from Panama is writing.
There is a website called Fedora Security [1] which is not related to the
Fedora Security Lab [2]. As I understand from the Trademark Guidelines
[3], it is a violation. Quote: "Fedora®, the Fedora word design, the
Infinity design logo, Fedora Remix, and the Fedora Remix word design,
'''either separately or in combination''', are hereinafter referred to as
"Fedora Trademarks" and are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc."
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Regards!

open floor meeting today in #fedora-meeting (18:00 UTC)
by Matthew Miller
I am crazy busy this morning -- sorry I didn't send the normal reminder
earlier. Open floor meeting in the normal channel at the normal time.
Because of said crazy busy morning, I will be showing up at the minute
of with no advance preparation, so I'm serious about the "open floor"
thing. :)
