Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Since the committee has had a rejuvenation since the Fedora Linux 42 elections and a tightened scope of functioning, I think that it is only appropriate that we not only let folks know about the same (through the initial Fedora Mindshare Progress Update) but also interact with them in the open forum (through the townhall structured questions/answers). If one follows the ticket list, they would find that the ones requesting the Fedora Mindshare's assistance are mostly those that already have before and hence, it would be mutually good to spread the word about us using our in-person presence at the flagship Fedora Project event, Flock To Fedora 2026.
The following is the body of the proposal.

I am structuring this as being more of an AMA (or AUA as in Ask Us Anything) kind of session. I also realize that the term is likely to get refreshed by then so we need to find a way to navigate through that as well. I am open to having both incoming members and retained members on the stage for this but I am open to hearing opinions on this approach. We, of course, would start with a quick progress update on what all we have been upto in the past term (i.e. from the previous Flock to this Flock) to get people up to speed but after that, it is going to free form interaction with the community folks. Does that make sense?
Discussed in 2026-05-28 Mindshare Committee meeting.
Summary: The Committee finalized the format for the Mindshare Town Hall session at Flock 2026. The panel will feature an introduction of the renewed charter, reflections from both incoming and outgoing members on their term and handover, and conclude with an Ask Us Anything (AMA) segment with the audience.
Action Items & Next Steps:
!agreedFor the panel structure and organization, @jflory7 will chair/moderate the panel. @jflory7 will kick off by introducing the Mindshare Committee itself, the renewed charter at a high-level, and then pass over to each Committee member to introduce themselves and speak toward their part of the charter. There may be one or two additional questions added to the ticket for each panelist to answer before the floor is yielded to the audience for Q&A.Here's the progress update slide deck. The sequence that we would want to follow here is, introductions first, then updates and finally, questionnaire as mentioned before. Here's the slide deck if you get a 404 due to the invalid GitHub account flagging.
