Get in touch with us
The Fedora Community Operations Team uses a Fedora Discussion forum tag and a Fedora Chat/Matrix room to communicate.
The Fedora Discussion forum tag is best for asynchronous communication. This means it is best for questions or topics that someone may respond to later. It is better for longer, threaded discussions.
The Fedora Chat/Matrix room is best for synchronous communication. This means it is best for quick feedback, like in a conversation. It is helpful for real-time discussions or getting someone’s attention.

Workflow
The Fedora Community Operations Team uses a ticket-based workflow to keep track of our work. The repository with tickets is found on GitLab. Tickets are found under the Issues tab in the sidebar.
Various labels are used to sort and triage GitLab Issues. For good beginner tasks, look at the good first issue tag.
Meetings
The Fedora Community Operations Team holds meetings every other week to check in on tasks and plan ahead. This translates to two meetings a month. One of the meetings is run via a text chat in a Matrix room. The other meeting is run as an audio/video call. Check Fedora Calendar for the next meeting date and time.
Past text meeting minutes are recorded in Møte.
