Join the Conversation: Fedora Technology

[Arran Griffith]

Hi Everyone,

 

Late last month Fedora Governance Chair, Jennifer Gilbert, sent out a message outlining a series of information gathering sessions we are hosting in the coming months. We want to hear from as many of our Fedora users as possible as we begin to focus efforts on the future of the technology and build a roadmap post Fedora 6.0. Adoption rates and the number of users migrating is steadily climbing which is so exciting! The Fedora Governance Group is committed to ensuring that Fedora serves its community in the ways it is designed to. For us to continue our work planning for this, we need your input!

 

Purpose:

• These sessions will provide an open platform for you to discuss your implementation and help us understand how Fedora can better meet your needs and that of the community-at-large.
• We encourage participation from all levels within your institution, but are specifically looking for those who work more closely with the software or technology stack.
• Facilitators will have a series of questions to guide the discussion and will be compiling all of the findings at the end of the sessions.

 

When will the sessions take place?

To structure the conversations, we have divided the sessions into two groups:

• Users on older versions of Fedora/New Fedora Users
• Fedora 6.x Users

 

How to Participate:

Simply select the category which best describes your institution’s situation and use the links to register for your spot. The dates listed are the registration links.

 

Users on older versions/new users:

Wednesday, April 12 @ 1pm Eastern                        Wednesday, May 17 @ 1pm Eastern 

Friday, April 21 @ 9am Eastern                                            Friday May 19 @ 9am Eastern

Fedora 6.x Users

Monday, June 5 @ 12pm Eastern                                       Monday, June 12 @ 9am Eastern

 

We hope you will consider this invitation to join the conversation. This effort is an important next step in the future of Fedora, and we are encouraging all community members to engage. Feel free to forward this email to colleagues inside or outside of your institutions. We want to hear from everyone.

 

Thank you in advance for your continued commitment to Fedora, it’s community and our technology. Our community continues to grow and evolve and we appreciate each of your contributions. We look forward to seeing you at one of the sessions.

 

Cheers,

Arran
