  The engineering and mindshare representatives' responsibility is to

+ that happens to be voted-in by some subset of Fedora.

+ They are selected by contributors working in those areas, under the rules of the xref:fesco::Fedora_Council_Engineering_Rep.adoc[Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo)] and the xref:mindshare-committee::procedures/council_rep.adoc[Mindshare Committee], respectively.

  

  The elected positions cover all Fedora subprojects that are not under the

  engineering or mindshare banners, and the community at large. One

...because they're hard to find.

Also:

  • Update to say that Mindshare Committee actually exists, which is has
    for half a decade or more
  • Simplify the language a bit

Because this document is kind of a manifesto, I want to retain "They are selected by the people active in those areas". It's Robyn's "do-ocracy"

.. at end?

Good catch. I'll fix that after rebasing to get #130, in which you beat me to correcting Mindshare's existence.

My issue with that it is it sort of mis-represents how things work. The people active in those areas don't select the Council reps. They select (in the case of Mindshare, some of) the people who select the representatives. If it's super important to you, I'll think about how to change the wording to reflect that but also correctly represent the actual process.

On the spectrum of importance to me, from burning red to cool cool violet, it is... yellowish-orange?
