Women in Computing and Fedora

January 22, 2016 / Justin W. Flory / 5 Comments

Article co-authored by Bee Padalkar and Justin W. Flory

In the past year to current day, women in computing is a hot topic in many discussions about diversity in computer science. Particularly in free and open source software, women are underrepresented, even more than average numbers in other computer science fields.

Diversity in Fedora is also a discussion that has resurfaced in the past few months, including the creation of a Fedora Diversity Adviser, a position now held by María “tatica” Leandro. As part of the objectives identified by the Fedora Council, an initiative to promote Fedora to new contributors of various backgrounds is being emphasized for 2016. Fedora has a strong and powerful base of women contributors in the community, focusing on various parts of the Project.

Looking back on 2015, there are many highlights of increased diversity in Fedora and many more plans in the future to promote a stronger presence of women in the Fedora community.

I contributed! 2015 Gource Video Series (2/3)

January 21, 2016 / Bee Padalkar / Comments Off

“I contributed!” is a special series on the Fedora Community Blog which helps Fedora contributors understand and get a feel of the activity happening in different areas in Fedora, especially areas other than what they personally participate in. These visualizations for 2015 are made using Gource videos generated by threebean using fedmsg2gource – a CLI tool used to generate Gource videos from fedmsg history,

In this second part of the series, we highlight two of the subsystem videos that in particular correspond with new services that the infrastructure team launched this year – ‘mdapi’ and ‘mailman’.

To help better understand what these videos represent as well as to learn more about Gource and fedmsg2gource, check out the first article in the “I contributed!” Gource series. .

Fedora Council Update: Modularization Objective

January 20, 2016 / langdon / Comments Off

The Fedora Council requests that the Objective Leads and top-level teams provide periodic updates to present status and progress towards the mission of Fedora. Recently, I presented the status of the Fedora Modularization Objective. If you would like to track future Council updates, follow this blog, or attend yourself! The schedule is normally posted on the Council Mailing List.

Please keep an eye on the Environments & Stacks Working Group mailing list for ongoing progress with the Modularization Objective.

CommOps – Year in Review

January 18, 2016 / Justin W. Flory / 2 Comments

2015 was an important milestone for the Community Operations (CommOps) team in so many ways. CommOps is the newest official sub-project in Fedora, and the team’s role is to assist other sub-projects in Fedora. This is done by building and improving interactions within the internal Fedora community, as well as by increasing communication across the Project as a whole. In other words, CommOps is all about bringing more “heat and light” to the different areas of Fedora.

Since 2015 was the inaugural year of CommOps, the past year was a busy and engaging one. For many of us, it felt like the lists of tasks we completed (and list of tasks to be completed) grew, and continues to each day. For CommOps, this is fantastic and exciting, as it represents concrete actions we can take to improve Fedora Community Operations.

There are a few particular highlights from the past year that helped us really define our role in the Project, and we have some concrete goals we think will help Fedora succeed in the coming year.

We already had a number of blog posts regarding how Globalization (G11n) Fedora Activity Days (FADs) went. After all of these reports, it makes sense to have one post discussing the achievements from our Activity Days.
