 Removing this from the meeting agenda until a proposal is created - no
 reason to have it on the agenda until there's something to talk about. I'm
 going to try working on getting one out.

Comment:

 = Milestone period ended =

 With the release of Fedora 24 yesterday, the Fedora 23 release cycle
 officially "ended". This ticket was marked for completion in F23, but will
 likely need another cycle to complete. Modifying the milestone to reflect
 this.

 I think this is a good idea as well. Is having special mentions and

 good idea as well.

 For badges, we could create a FAS group that would be able to handle this.
 I suppose the question is where a "company" or "organization" FAS is the
 recommended approach or if we want contributors associated with the entity
 (e.g. school system administrators in a Fedora school) to receive the
 badge based on their own affiliation as well.

 I'm thinking a dedicated "portal" for this might even be a good idea,
 either on getfedora.org (which may not be the appropriate place) or
 something like affiliates.fedoraproject.org. This would require syncing up
 with the Websites team and we should avoid doing that until farther along
 in this proposal. But long-term, I'm thinking that's best.

 This is where part of our discussion in the meeting led to. Here's some of
 the ideas from the meeting.

 = Ideas for affiliate program =

 * Having this as a shared responsibility between Marketing and Ambassadors
 might be a good idea.
 * A potential affiliate could get in touch with an Ambassador (or vice
 versa) and the Ambassador can come to Marketing with the affiliate
 request.
 * An individual in Marketing / Ambassadors can "sponsor" a request based
 on previous relationships (example used in meeting is jflory7 with
 Rochester Institute of Technology in NYS (as a student), or similar type
 of idea).

 www.fedoraaffiliates.fp.o (or similar), or do we manage them in hubs? Do

 Alternatively to the above suggestion, Hubs may be the ideal place to
 integrate this with.

Comment (by jflory7):

 Hi all,

 On the Marketing list, Jared Smith (jsmith) also shared Alick's concern
 about the name. I proposed a few other alternatives, and I'm going to copy
 my email to the list here to keep it all in an easily referable place. We
 can also cover this in today's Marketing meeting.

 I think the name is a valid concern. An alternative that immediately comes
 to mind is "Friends of Fedora", but I'm not sure if that's too cliché or
 if it's been used in the past. It might also make sense to do this to tie
 it into our Four Foundations too.

 Some other alternative names could be...

 * Partners (maybe the same problem)
 * #FedoraLive (or something similar, insinuating Fedora being "live" in
 the field)
 * #WeAreFedora (taking from #WeAreRedHat a little, empowering people /
 organizations using Fedora)

 Just a few ideas. Let me know if any of these sound better!

Comment (by mailga):

 IMHO there's the risk of having a nonsense wiki structure is real. That's
 a project we could consider as Ambassador task before a Mktg task.

 Please consider that mktg cannot keep contacts with the several components
 of affiliates; affiliates must be "mentored" (not the right word, maybe)
 first by ambassador an then having a preferential channel with marketing.

 Also, can we consider to have a website such like
 www.fedoraaffiliates.fp.o (or similar), or do we manage them in hubs? Do
 we consider to create a FAS group "affiliates" if doesn't exists yet?

 Affiliates in the whole world could be really too much and if we don't
 manage them very well from the beginning we'll get chaos very soon.

 I think we need a mktg member to coordinate ambassadors tasks about
 affiliates.

Comment (by alick):

 Hi, sorry for jumping in without following up the previous discussions.

 Overall, I am +1 for this idea since it helps identify our user bases in
 groups (organizations, schools, companies). It can be more than stats too.
 Hopefully it provides incentives to attract new group users and
 facilitates communications between them.

 About the drafts, for the Affliates page, I think it'll be good to add
 more WIIFM points. For example, to show support for Fedora and FOSS in
 general, to make their contributions officially recognized, to learn from
 experiences from peer organizations, etc.

 About the badge, I'm not sure how the badge awarding process will work
 (for groups)? Maybe it will be awarded to the current coordinators from
 each group? It seems good since it encourages them to join FAS if they
 have not. But we need to consider the "handover" from old coordinators to
 new ones.

 About the information to include, I'd suggest to add an (optional) image
 as a showcase/proof. One image is worth a thousand words!

 I prefer the approval process is lightweight. Say a wiki page for
 submissions, and a few dedicated moderators review them and move the
 information to an "official" wiki page. The latter page is thus not be
 edited by others.

 Finally, I kinda doubt "Affliates" the most right word in such context...
 Is there a better way to say "Non-individual" users?

 Regards,

 Alick

The recommendation here in this ticket was not "go to meetings" it was
to "do stuff."

Though not always fast or easy, meetings are a necessary part of doing
distributed decentralized work in open and public ways.

I don't think everyone on this list, or elsewhere Fedora, feels the
same way about meetings as you do MarkDude. We must not diminish the
time and effort that contributors put into making meetings happen,
which almost always have public agendas that are open to contributions
and suggestions, should you feel they are not maximally productive.

I would point to the Fedora Design team's re-worked meeting protocol
as a model for keeping meetings focused, task oriented, and
ticket-driven (described by mizmo here):

I think that funding and budgetary requests--though an important
issue--are somewhat out of scope for this thread.

If you would like to comment on budget impact and reciprocity, please
see my most recent requests to the Ambassadors--whom the Fedora
Council and Ambassador Steering Committee have empowered to spend (and
report) their own regional budgets as they see fit.

I'm still waiting on either reports, proposals, or delegation
selections from each region, which are necessary for us to continue
budget planning and allocation for FY17:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/ambassad...@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/GQTDW23QIJYYSDMJEX7GLN5WAZ5SEMWU/


Thank you jbishop for taking the initiative on this ticket to help
bring more light to the places where Fedora is having a positive
impact outside of our community. This is an important role that
members of the CommOps team serve in the project, and can potentially
make a big difference :)

/me loves this idea. It's one of the things that drew me to Fedora.
Unfortunately, it falls apart at times when it come to the reality of
FUNDING. We should add parenthetically; go to more meetings, and have your
soul die a bit as you do so.

This is a totally normal thing to wonder about, and I have an answer for you:

Just Do It.
Do the things.

Your are implicitly powered, as a member of the Fedora community, to
dive in an contribute. You don't need my permission, or the marketing
team's, or anyone else's. Most of us would rather celebrate progress
than have you block on process. In the event that you do make a
mistake, the wiki is revision controlled, and we can revert it if we
need to, or migrate your work to a different place.

Think of the wiki as the "whiteboard" or "working document," and the
Trac as the place where we track the task at hand. There can be
information sharing and flow between them, but generally, Trac is the
place where we update everyone with links and progress, and the wiki
is where we collaboratively edit the content.

Hope This Helps,

Hi Justin,

Thanks for getting back to me yet. The big thing I was wondering about
was what was already done, since I saw a few names already attached to
the ticket. I was also concerned about stepping on toes due to going
ahead and doing stuff without checking in first.

The one question that I had was where I should put my work. Does it go
on the TRAC, or the wiiki?

Thanks!

Yes, nothing is there yet, but the info we are looking at drafting up is
intended to go there.

Hi James! Thanks for coming out to the meeting on Wednesday.

In terms of this ticket, I think the place we're at now is really coming 
up with a list of steps or ideas about how an organization could apply 
to be an "affiliate" or "friend" of Fedora.


In the meeting, we decided a good place to put this for now would be on 
this page.


https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Affiliates_SOP

For the task, I would consider the kind of things we as Fedora would 
want to highlight and show that organizations, schools, companies, or 
other groups are doing and using Fedora for.


Perhaps for a school… do you offer any courses that use Fedora? How has 
using Fedora and open source software impacted your students? What have 
your students produced using Fedora?


Things along those lines. I would approach this like a questionnaire of 
sorts that an organization would fill out. It doesn't have to be perfect 
right now, but having an initial list of steps or things to consider is 
a good place to start and build off of!


Hope this helps clarify. Let us know if you have further questions!
