Hello there!
I recently represented NeuroFedora at FOSDEM, and it was a great
experience. I met many people from Fedora who knew about us, but also
met a few who did not. I feel that at the very least, people from
Fedora should know more about the group, our motivation, and what we
do. We also seem to have a low number of contributors.
After my discussion with Sumantro, he recommended some steps to
increase our community involvement within the Fedora community, which
are summarised below:
1. Send out a call-for-participation to the -devel (or any other that
may seem fit) mailing list (if we feel that we have a lack of
contributor base),
2. More frequent blog posts (in the Fedora blogs or Fedora magazine)
about the community.
3. Organize hackfests. Hackfests will attract more contributors. We
can have packaging hackfests, where we spend straight hours packaging
and reviewing software. A similar hackfest organized by the Badges
community is present here[0].
4. Talk to the Fedora Project Leader (Matthew Miller) about our sig
and ask what we can do to increase the community outreach of our sig.
Since he is the FPL, he can guide us more appropriately.
We can also have a brainstorming session as well on these points (in
one of our future meetings) and discuss the forward direction of our
sig.
