Could Fedora Accessibility be a Community Initiative?
Migrated from pagure:fedora-diversity#243.
Summary
Evaluate a Community Initiative centered on Fedora Accessibility and identify Initiative lead or co-leads and a Fedora Council executive sponsor.
Background
There is renewed momentum and energy around improving accessibility on the Fedora Linux desktop. We are in the process of getting a team meeting together, per #6 (closed).
One way to sustain this momentum and focus it to specific goals and outcomes is by organizing a Community Initiative for accessibility in Fedora Linux. This would define a 12-18 month scope for improvements, changes, and work in Fedora. Organizing an initiative helps us to focus on things we could accomplish within a year's time and get visibility and recognition for that work in the community.
Details
A Community Initiative is a major commitment for 12-18 months. Therefore, we need a champion or champions who would sign on as the Initiative Lead or Co-Leads. The lead/co-leads are the bottom-liners for organizing the activity, working with the community, and reporting back to the Fedora Council. There also needs to be one Fedora Council executive sponsor, who is an existing Fedora Council member that is the connector with the Community Initiative to help get the support and resources needed to complete the Initiative.
Outcome
- We have a vision and clear direction for accessibility improvements in Fedora over a 12-18 month timeline.
- The people driving the work are connected into the project and have a format/structure to help them succeed in accomplishing the Community Initiative.
