The Fedora Council uses two mailing lists.

  *Private* box when you create the ticket. If an issue is not sensitive

  the discussion should be in the open, in the public Pagure instance or

  the council-discuss list.

  The _Fedora Community Action and Impact Coordinator_ (or _FCAIC_) is a full-time, Red Hat-employed job to lead initiatives to grow the Fedora user and developer communities, and to make Red Hat / Fedora interactions even more transparent and positive.

  The Fedora community budget comes to us through the Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO).

  == Roles and Responsibilities ==

  * Work with other Council members to identify the short, medium, and long term goals of the Fedora community and to organize and enable the project to best achieve them

  * Primary Council member with responsibility for the development of the annual Fedora community budget
