Hello folks, I will be participating in the Fedora Council Strategy Summit 2026. As the Mindshare representative to the Fedora Council, the first thing that I want to do there is to communicate and liaise with our and their requirement. I plan on presenting an exhaustive report to the Fedora Council on just what we have been up to all this time, as well, so I could also use your feedback on that. As such, I have gone ahead and assigned all the committee members on this ticket - please take some time to elaborate on just what the Fedora Council can help you with in the better fulfilment of the committee's purpose.

I recuse myself as a current member of the Fedora Council, and I am too biased to provide input here. I would look to the rest of you on whether you feel there is a need for Fedora Project policy change or resources you need in order to be successful on your respective focus areas.

Did not discuss during the 2025-12-11 Mindshare Committee meeting.


Our meeting agenda was full and we did not get a chance to bring this ticket up. However, the feedback window remains open! There is also now a public Fedora Discussion topic about the Fedora Council Strategy Summit, so feedback and ideas on the Council-level planning is also welcome there.

I propose a deadline of Wednesday, 14 January 2026 for this ticket, because after then, the Summit agenda will be mostly final!

From my perspective in CommOps (and with a sideline in Data) I think we're already in a good place here, just because we have some functional lines of communication. So number one priority is to keep that going, and kudos to @gridhead for maintaining it.

I'd be interested to know what questions the Council want to answer with our data - we are already working on #96 for ourselves, and there is the badge work too, but is there more?

From my end, I worked on clarifying our documentation about Digital Ambassadorship #89. I plan on continuing the work by:

  1. Doc Consolidation: Collaborating with the Marketing Team to consolidate their documentation with Mindshare Committee's regarding Digital Ambassadors.
  2. Vetting Process: Formalizing the vetting process for handing out regional social media account access.
  3. Workflow: Creating specific Issue Templates on Forgejo for these types of requests.

The design team are also working on the 'Get Started' poster mentioned on last weeks meeting: https://gitlab.com/fedora/design/team/requests/-/issues/121 We are hoping to have this complete for FOSSAsia and Scale.

I had a look at the agenda for the summit and it looks interesting! I don't really have any notes on that side of things.

The Fedora Council 2026 Strategy Summit passed. Since this ticket was eyeing the immediate timeline of collaboration for the Summit, I am closing this ticket as complete. 🌊

@gridhead @gwmngilfen @ekidney Thanks for your input here! :pray_tone1:
