=== Community Initiative Leads
|
| |
|
| |
- On an ongoing basis, including sessions at Flock and in public online meetings, the {team_name} will identify two to four key xref:project::initiatives.adoc[Community Initiatives] with a timeframe of approximately eighteen months, and appoint *Community Initiative Leads* for each goal.
|
| |
- These will serve as {team_name} members.
|
| |
+ Each xref:project::initiatives.adoc[Community Initiative] is represented by one {team_name} seat.
|
| |
+ Typically, this seat is filled by the Lead of the Initiative, although it is possible for two people (at most) to share a single {team_name} seat as Co-Leads.
|
| |
+ While naturally the people in these roles will focus primarily on their own Initiative, this is a full {team_name} position and Community Initiative Leads are invited to participate in all {team_name} activities and decisions.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ [NOTE]
|
| |
+ ====
|
| |
+ This policy may be surprising, but we have found that this wider engagement connects the specific work to everything going on in Fedora, leading to greater success for the Initiative.
|
| |
+ Community Initiative Leads may even serve as Executive Sponsors for other Initiatives.
|
| |
+ ====
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Community Initiative Leads typically serve on the {team_name} for the duration of their Initiative.
|
| |
+ When the Initiative concludes, the {team_name} term also expires.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Each Community Initiative Lead is paired with an xref:project::initiatives.adoc#proposing-sponsors[Executive Sponsor], who is another member of the {team_name}.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Community Initiatives must be documented with measurable goals.
|
| |
+ The Community Initiative Leads are responsible for coordinating efforts to reach those goals, evaluating and reporting on progress, and working regularly with all relevant groups in Fedora to ensure that progress is made.
|
| |
+ xref:project::initiatives.adoc#proposing-sponsors[Executive Sponsors] are responsible for making sure the Initiative is on track and for removing blockers.
