+ Fedora Community Intitiatives (formerly "Objectives") contain projects which do not fall neatly into the 6 monthly Fedora release-cycle. Typically they require longer to complete. 12-18, or even up to 24 months. Community Initiatives typically are not engineering projects - although they can be - and are not necessarily aligned with a release.

== Proposing a Community Initiative
|
| |
|
| |
- Any community member can propose a Community Initiative to the Council.
|
| |
- First, discuss on the https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/tag/council[#council tag on Fedora Discussion].
|
| |
- Next, if well-received, file a https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/[ticket].

Of course, people need to be ready to do the actual work required — a Community Initiative with no passionate bottom-liners won't get far.
|
| |
|
| |
+ To succeed, Community Initiatives ideally require a leadership team. The Council can assist a proposer in finding the right people to work on the project if required. Additionally, new Community Initiatives will be assigned an executive sponsor from amongst the Council members, to assist with raising and maintaining the visibility of the Initiative in the community.

+ == How are Community Initiatives Finalized?
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ At the end of the expected duration of the Initiative (as specified at the proposal / acceptance stage), the Council will assess the progress of the Initiative. If the all of the aims, or all of the most significant of them have been achieved the Initiative will be terminated. If the aims are close to complete and further work will substantially increase the impact it may be allowed to continue for a further agreed period, after which it will be terminated. Initiatives will not be allowed to run indefinitely.

I wouldn't say "typically aren't" here. The idea mix would be 50% engineering, 50% from the rest of the project. We rarely hit that ideal mix, but that's dream.
