Outreachy with Fedora’s Bodhi Project

Here, I express my hitherto educative, fun, and exciting experience as an Outreachy intern.

About the Project

The aim of the project is to provide a /graphql endpoint to Bodhi, Fedora’s update gating system. This would allow users to query through Bodhi’s resources using GraphQL.

Council policy proposal: withdrawing support from events

June 11, 2020 / Ben Cotton / Comments Off

The Fedora Council is considering a change in policy that better defines how the Council will handle withdrawing from sponsored events. The policy as proposed by Ben Cotton, with edits from the Mindshare Committee is:

The Fedora Council may choose to withdraw Fedora’s support from events or other activities that involve fiscal sponsorship or use of Fedora trademarks when it determines that participation is not in the interests of the Fedora Project. Decisions to withdraw support will be published in venues normally used for Council decisions. Deliberation and reasoning for the decision should be public to the extent possible. The Council will engage with the committee/group/team that is involved with the event in question to ensure their input is considered.
