Summary

We need to have a single place to point new contributors to get started.

Background

Over the years (wow, it's been that long?) I've had people emailing me directly about the SIG. I'm happy to welcome new contributors, but I need a great place to send them! :)

In the past I'd link them to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/AI-ML#Get_Involved and ask them to join us on Matrix. It was a small group and we'd usually have someone in the channel to welcome them further.

The wiki page is a little stale, and we have https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/ai/ which is not helpful.

A place were we can funnel contributors, end-users, and all interested parties to would be lovely.

Details

Have one place, have it well known, update links across our ecosystem, evolve from there.

I suspect we need a few tracks from the same landing spot:

Contributors -- existing or future packagers that would like to help with the SIG packages (i.e. group membership for the packaging groups)
End-users -- consumers of the packages, people wanting to help with QA/bug reporting, etc.
Interested parties -- what are we up to with integration into the distro, what tools and features do we care about

Outcome

A clear landing spot for navigating the SIG/WG

There's also some info on the forge profile - https://forge.fedoraproject.org/ai-ml

Makes sense to consolidate to one place and link other pages to it so there's no need to keep multiple sources up to date.

Building on this, here are some specific ideas for what the page should cover:

What the SIG works on. One-paragraph summary: packaging (ROCm, PyTorch, HuggingFace ecosystem), inferencing tools (Ollama, RamaLama, llama-cpp), creating and maintaining reusable AI skills, documentation, and SIG governance.
Where to find us. Links to Matrix, Discourse, biweekly meeting schedule, and the tickets repo.
Getting started with packaging. Guidance on how to navigate the packaging backlog (issues #13–#19), pick a package based on difficulty and impact, and where to find help with the Fedora packaging workflow. Many active SIG members are packagers — this section should help newcomers find their footing in that work stream specifically.

The FAS group membership question (separating community participation from infrastructure access) is being tracked separately in #34.
