Council members, your vote is required on the following proposal to amend the Editions Promotion Policy. The proposal is:
Part of the policy currently reads:
A Fedora Edition: Addresses a distinct, relevant and broad use-case or user-base that a Fedora Edition is not currently serving, is a long term investment for the Fedora Project and is consistent with all of Fedora’s Four Foundations.
We propose an additional line:
The Council may make exceptions to the “distinct” rule when we determine that doing so best fits the Project’s Mission and Vision.
This proposal has been active for over the two week feedback period on discourse and thus meets the criteria to now vote on accepting or rejecting.
Please +1 in favour, or -1 if you are not. A -1 vote will trigger this to be placed on the next council meeting for discussion. Consensus is required so all council members please vote.
+1
Oh, Aoife reminds me that I need to vote on my own proposal. I'm +1, but have a followup...
I like @bcotton's suggestion in https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/proposed-change-to-the-fedora-council-policy-for-edition-promotion/132206/5, which is to drop the wordy line and instead change "distinct" to "sufficiently distinct".
I think this covers the same intent in a much cleaner way. Does anyone object to that approach instead of the initial proposal?
Nope, sounds fine to me. Wordsmithing the proposal doesnt change the intent of the proposal for me, and this suggestion makes it cleaner so I like it. @asamalik is on vacation for an extended period of time, and has expressed support for this proposal in the initial meeting we discussed it, so I would like to go ahead and mark this amendment as approved.
