...

As Fedora 3 moved into 4/5, caused some reputational issues in the community
Some of that lingers even with Fedora 6 out
Need to get more information
- e,g, How many installs are there? What are the sizes? What versions? What other tools are they being used with (e.g. Islandora, Fedora)?
Last datapoints come from survey in 2017
Can we get data from the software itself?
- Privacy challenges
- Privacy laws stricter in Europe than NA
Plan from Steering: Get together on the next Tech Call (March 17 11-12 ET) to talk about kicking off a process to see what can be done
One model: OJS has a "beacon" that sends back basic information upon installation (opt-in)
Won't help with existing versions/deployments of Fedora but could help in future
Scott: More online documentation aimed at current Fedora users (and those who inherit an existing Fedora and want to know their options) could be helpful
Current registry is voluntary, only a few recent updates
