Initiatives/Websites & Apps Community Revamp

Objective: Websites & Apps Community Revamp

Goal

This objective will be an initiative to revamp several community outreach teams within Fedora that are struggling to function, or need more support to truly become a success. The objective will bring together Ambassadors, Ambassador Emeritus, Join SIG, and Advocates all under the same umbrella of CommOps in a clear and cohesive structure.

Deliverables & Outcomes

The desired outcome for the Community Outreach Revamp is for Fedora’s outreach teams to be functioning successfully. The teams should be reinvigorated, understand their different roles clearly, and have all the tools to effectively outreach. Another desired outcome for this revamp is to rebuild contributor fulfillment in various ways.

History

Proposal written by Marie Nordin, the current FCAIC. The proposal was approved by the Mindshare Committee. Co-leads were brought on, the TTF was assembled, and the work has been scoped. From there it was decided to ask the Council if it would be a good fit for an Objective. The proposal was discussed on council-discuss ML with some clarifying questions and positive feedback to move the initiative to an Objective.
