Btw, I already see Fedora listed there: https://contributor.link/projects with the Join SIG.

@sumantrom,

I had the opportunity to visit the initiative site and it seems like that it can be a good help for us folks at Fedora Websites and Apps Team. Practically speaking, with the inflow of staying contributors, we might just be able to refresh two projects concurrently without taking a major hit.

On the other hand, getting our projects up and visible on the aforesaid site might require some folks to document them all in an inviting way - what I like to call a "meta-work". It is not a bad thing though if it helps us to garner more folks but it might be so if we are unable to do so.

Hey Jona, I saw that but the description is very unclear as to what we actually want. Unlike other projects which are explicitly mentioning the words "testers,coders,designers,". I feel we might want to have some of those in there.
Also, the description is very much talking about Join SIG and not Fedora as a project. It might also be a good idea, a few words about what Fedora Project is and not about just Join SIG.

Hey Akash, I concur with you 100% and I am kinda willing to take up the meta-work, if all of us agree with the same.

Hi folks! I have a little history to add here and some of my thoughts :)

We had the Fedora Design Team up there and we had too much success. A lot of people were showing up and we only have so much capacity. I talked it over with @duffy and @bproffit (organizer of this page) and we agreed that the Join SIG would be very well suited to this page. The reasoning is the Join SIG functions to provide newcomers a good experience and connect them with all parts of Fedora.

I propose the following as an update for our description:

The Fedora Project is a community of people working together to build a free and open source software platform and to collaborate on and share user-focused solutions built on that platform. Our community does a lot more than code, though! The Fedora Join Special Interest Group enables people looking to join the Fedora community to converse with existing members, make friends, find mentors, and get a feeling of what and how the community does in general. The Join group also helps connect folks with first tasks for contribution.
Needed: Web developers, graphic designers, UI/UX, documentation, packagers, project management & organization

In my opinion, an under contributed to, and under advertised area of Fedora Marketing/design is audio, and video. On the Audio side, we have the Fedora Podcast, back from the grave, which currently, I'm basically the only one with time, who knows how to produce audio properly. On the Video side, there's tons to do. The Fedora youtube channel is dominated by videos that are just rips from hopin or bluejeans. It would be so awesome if we could have people who know even just basic video processing. We need folks who can produce stuff for Fedora week of diversity, video meetings, conference talks, and more. I'd also love it if someone could help me out with the live streaming.

So my proposal is: Audio and Video help. If you can make a decent youtube video, that's the kind of skills we need WAY more of.

How about this for wording?

The Fedora Project is a community working together to build a free and open source software platform and to collaborate on and share user-focused solutions built on that platform. Our community does a lot more than code, though - there is plenty to do for people interested in non-technical contributions such as design or writing as well. The Fedora Join Special Interest Group enables people looking to join the Fedora community to connect with others, make friends, find mentors, and get a feeling of what the community does in general and how. The Join group also helps newcomers find their first tasks.
Needed: Web developers, graphic designers, UI/UX designers, documentation writers, packagers, project managers, organizers

Mostly I just added a few examples of the "not just coding" implied in the old text and cleaned up the list of needed roles so they're all referring to people (i.e. docs writers, not documentation).

How about this for wording?

s/non-technical/non-coding/ and I'm good with it. Maybe also s/design or writing as well/design, writing, testing, etc./ ?

Yeah, sounds good. We'll continue the discussion in https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/294, I'll edit it there.

Is there more Council action needed here?

I think no, Mindshare is taking care of this one.

Cool. I'll close this then; we can file a new one if something else is needed.
