Inactive Members

将某个成员从 FAS 小组中除名,只是一种认为其不再活跃的行为。

大家都清楚,有时我们需要从志愿工作中抽身出来,专注于其他事情。 发生这种情况的原因有很多,在需要的时候,从 Fedora 社区的志愿工作中抽身绝对没有错。 在这种情况下,我们会从 FAS/Pagure 群组中删除不活跃的成员,这主要是出于内务管理的考虑。

When community members are able to return, their membership to the groups will be restored. I.e., they will not have to start again from zero. Just as they retain their friends in the Fedora community even when they are away, they also retain the community’s trust when away.

We’d like to note that the intention here is not to "kick people out of the community" at all. We do not mark FAS accounts as inactive---we only update Fedora Join related groups (FAS/Pagure). Please also note that other teams may have their own policies regarding inactive community members.

When the team detects a team member to be inactive, generally for long periods of time (a year or so), we:

  1. ping/nudge/poke the team member to request a status update: to see how they are doing and if we can do anything to help,

  2. open a ticket on the Fedora Join Pagure instance to follow up on progress.

The ping/nudge/poke message could be like this:

Hello,

Our records indicate that you have not been active in the community for at least a year.

We hope everything is fine. Is there anything we can help with?

If a response indicating inactivity is received (or no response is received at all), the team will:

  1. remove the member from the FAS and Pagure groups,

  2. close the ticket with its status set to "inactive".

The scripts that is used to check for activity can be found here: Fedora Community Stats.
