+ = Fedora Appreciation Week
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Fedora Appreciation Week is an annual event organized by the Fedora xref:index.adoc[Community Operations] (CommOps) team.
|
| |
+ Fedora Appreciation Week, abbreviated as FAW, is a week-long event to celebrate efforts of Fedora Project contributors and to say "thank you" to each other.
|
| |
+ FAW is normally held on the week of November 6th to coincide with the https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2003-November/msg00000.html[anniversary] of the Fedora Project.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ == What is it?
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ The https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UCADay[Ubuntu Community Appreciation Day] inspired CommOps to organize a similar event of appreciation for contributors who make the Fedora community what it is.
|
| |
+ This includes all types of contributors: development, design, infrastructure, marketing, engineering, and more.
|
| |
+ During the week, anyone is encouraged to select an individual or a group of contributors to thank for their efforts in Fedora.
|
| |
+ Appreciation can be given as an IRC karma cookie, a short note of thanks on a mailing list, or a longer form of appreciation (e.g. a https://happinesspackets.fedorainfracloud.org/[Fedora Happiness Packet]),
|
| |
+
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ == Why do it?
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Most Fedora contributors do not get to work together in the same building or office.
|
| |
+ Our daily interactions are usually in text form (e.g. IRC, emails, wikis, etc.).
|
| |
+ Even though these work well and we accomplish our goals, we lose touch with the human side of contributing.
|
| |
+ Fedora contributors aren’t robots, but real people!
|
| |
+ Fedora Appreciation Week is a chance to remember the Fedora community is a community of people, and to thank our colleagues and friends who might be halfway across the room or halfway across the planet.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+

This pull request adds a new page to our docs site to explain and introduce Fedora Appreciation Week. It will be a reference place we can begin to point people to and hopefully build on as we go. It currently explains the ways someone can participate now.
