Below is information regarding the call for nominees to join Fedora Governance for the FY23 - 2024 cycle. Joining Fedora Governance is a great opportunity to get involved with the community and have a direct impact on the future of the program. We need the support of members like yourselves to ensure that Fedora is represented by our global community of users. Previous experience with Governance, or a strong technical understanding of Fedora is not a prerequisite for participation. All voices are welcome at the table and we encourage those from diverse backgrounds to consider joining us.

Participation in Fedora Governance provides you the opportunity to gain a voice in decision-making and act as a strategic liaison between the community and associated stakeholders. Additional responsibilities include:

  • Establishing program principles and goals
  • Helping to determine strategic direction and product roadmap based on community needs
  • Accountability to stakeholders and community members
  • Building an effective sustainability plan for the long-term success of the program
  • Building and maintaining management decision framework
  • Establishing and documenting a means of conducting business

Commitment: We will be continuing to operate as a single Governance Group, as per a decision made in March 2022. Elected individuals will serve a 2-year term beginning in September 2023. We currently meet every second month for a 2-hr slot at a time to be determined by the group once established.

Nomination Process: If you, or someone at your institution would like to be considered for Fedora Governance elections, please complete one of the following nomination forms below for your institution's Fedora membership level or for the community category if applying as an individual.
