Laptops, Badges, and a Pelican case of Swag: DevConf Event Report

Proposed change to the Fedora Council policy for Edition promotion

The Fedora Council is considering a change to our policy for promotion of a Fedora deliverable to “Edition” status. Please read that entire document for context before commenting.

Part of the policy currently reads:

A Fedora Edition:

  • addresses a distinct, relevant, and broad use-case or user-base that a Fedora Edition is not currently serving;
  • is a long term investment for the Fedora Project; and
  • is consistent with all of Fedora’s Four Foundations.

We propose an additional line:

The Council may make exceptions to the “distinct” rule when we determine that doing so best fits the Project’s Mission and Vision.

This change reflects actual practice. For example, there is clear overlap between the use-cases and potential user-bases for the current Server, Cloud, and CoreOS Editions, but each takes a different approach. We are currently considering an exception for a KDE Desktop Edition, which would overlap with Fedora Workstation.

This topic is open for community discussion, following our Policy Change Policy. After two weeks, the Council will vote in a new ticket, and if approved, the policy will be updated.

Approval of this change would not automatically mean that approval of a KDE Desktop Edition, but would allow that possibility.

CPE Update Q2 2024

This is a summary of the work done on initiatives by the CPE Team. Every quarter, the CPE team works together with CentOS Project and Fedora Project community leaders and representatives to choose projects that will be being worked upon in that quarter. The CPE team is then split into multiple smaller sub-teams that will work on the chosen initiatives + day-to-day work that needs to be done. Some of the sub-teams  are dedicated to the continuous efforts in the team whilst some are created only for the initiative purposes.
