Revamping the Release Readiness meeting
by Ben Cotton
(Posting to many mailing lists for visibility. I apologize if you see
this more times than you'd like.)
You may have already seen my Community Blog post[1] about changing the
Release Readiness meeting process. The meeting has questionable value
in the current state, so I want to make it more useful. We'll do this
by having teams self-report readiness issues on a dedicated wiki
page[2] beginning now. This gives the community time to chip in and
help with areas that need help without waiting until days before the
release.
I invite teams to identify a representative to keep the wiki page up
to date. Update it as your status changes and I'll post help requests
in my weekly CommBlog posts[3] and the FPgM office hours[4] IRC
meeting. The Release Readiness meeting will be shortened to one hour
and will review open concerns instead of polling for teams that may or
may not be there. We will use the logistics mailing list[5] to discuss
issues and make announcements, so I encourage representatives to join
this list.

Re-Introduction
by Zachary Snyder
Hi all,
Just wanted to reintroduce myself as I've been dormant/away for a while. My
name is Zachary Snyder, you can just call me Zach. Ive been using fedora
since about F16. I started making small contributions within the Design
team like release banners, wallpapers etc. Last big thing i've participated
in was the Fedara Design FAD at the Redhat Westford location in 2015 so its
been a while! Currently im a PLSQL Developer working for PJM
Interconnection, a power grid oversight company for the north eastern
united states but I dont get my open source fill here. :) I'm recently
returning to contributing time to Fedora and the Design Team starting with
working on the supplemental wallpaper process for the upcoming release.
I look forward to reconnecting with the people I've met previously within
this community as well as get to know the new people that have hopped on
board while I've been away!
you can find me on IRC as sadin
Cheers,
Zachary Snyder
