From 868ef5eb70353b3590443c48f2e39c3292224169 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin W. Flory (he/him) Date: Feb 08 2023 09:37:47 +0000 Subject: Initiatives: Convert "Objectives" to "Community Initiatives" This commit follows in-person discussion by the Fedora Council in our 2023 Council hackfest in Frankfurt, Germany. We agreed to convert "Objectives" into "Community Initiatives", which we agreed was easier to understand and communicate the roles of these efforts in the project. There is no functional change to Objectives. It is just a cosmetic change, and we will follow this change with more communications about the transition to bring more excitement into Initiatives.
