I have an idea¹ for creating a label for experimental/innovative
work
within the Fedora Project which is not ready to be (or maybe is never
intended to be) Official Fedora. For example, release engineering
wants to make sure that all bits that are "official" go through releng
processes — which is totally reasonable, and helps support the high
quality people have come to expect from the Fedora name. At the same
time, we have a charter to be leaders, and to do that we need a space
where we can be more flexible.
The secondary mark (Fedora Remix) can provide an avenue for this, but
it's made for work done entirely outside of the Fedora project
umbrella. I'd like some way to label projects which are done by Fedora
developers using Fedora resources and in line with the Fedora
foundations but which are not part of the traditional OS or
infrastructure with all of the expectations those things bring.
FYI, we have been talking about this sort of thing in Fedora
Infrastructure as well. A way to allow community run/supported services
that don't have the high process standards as our normal supported
services. We tenatively decided to reuse our 'fedoracommunity.org'
domain for community services (then it would be easy to see if a
service had that kind of url to have different support expectations).
