The Freedom, one of our four Foundations, engages us to use, promote and distribute Free content and tools. As a Fedora Project contributor, you would certainly prefer using Free tools in all the contributions that you may do. This page is aimed to provide you some hints to archive this goal, and you're more than welcome to add you idea. |
Fedora Project Contributor Specific
All Fedora contributors who have signed the CLA (or FPCA) with an active account, and that have joined at least one other FAS group, automatically benefit of a:
- Fedora email alias;
- Personnal fedorapeople.org web space.
- An OpenID provider at <FAS_username>.id.fedoraproject.org.
Online editing
- You could use openetherpad.org in order to create a new pad (an online document that you'll be able to edit in concurrency with other contributors).
Note: If you've your own server, you could also use Gobby (Sobby is the Obby server), which is really simple, but fast (to install and use) and powerful (as collaborative text editor).
Poll (or Scheduling poll)
- You could use dudle (which is a doodle free alternative). The (not so) unstable version is nicer.
Survey
Publishing content
- Fedora Insight is a Drupal-based website that serves as a place to publish and share news, articles related to Fedora and Fedora marketing materials in various formats. More on the Fedora Insight wiki page.
Some work is done about an Insight calendar.
User help
- We have ask.fedoraproject.org, an Askbot running instance.
- See fedoracommunity.org to look for local communities.
Tools that people wish to see in our infra
Open Source is more about getting things done than shooting your wishes, ask in the logistic mailing list if you want to help.
- There could be an Open alternative to Google docs using the UNG Project,
- Mumble for voip chat
- limesurvey a nice survey facility. (Marketing wish, at least)
- Etherpad (there is already an online running free instance, openetherpad.org). See the Etherpad wiki page read more about our past work.
