goals for a year's tenure

It's time to set the goals for my year's tenure as Fedora Documentation Project Management Committee (PMC) chair. What do you think is important for this project? What should my goals and the project's goals be for the year? From the beginning, I've agreed with Greg DeKoenigsberg that our role as Red Hat kickstarters of Fedora was to: i) Make things rock and roll; ii) GTF out of the way and let it roll! I've been witnessing this with Fedora Extras, and it is impressive. Nine months ago I set myself a personal goal of eighteen months to do just that in the Docs Project -- make things rock, then get out of the way. Things being what they be, I'm upping to 21 months total, so February of 2007. ;-D Community leaders abound, but the FC 6 development cycle requires me to keep the momentum going as someone who can shake-and-stir inside of Red Hat. That was the core of my original plan, to get the project out from Red Hat's wing. Seeing through FC 6 development and mid-way into FC 7 should be just about the right timing for me to retire, I reckon. Therefore, I'm working on my goals and aspirations for the next year: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KarstenWade/FDPChair/Goals2006 The goals have some metrics assigned to them. That's how we know they are done, when the metrics are met or exceeded. But they are a starting point, what I think might be important. So, back to the top ... What do you think the project's goals should be for the next year? How about my goals as the chair/leader? I'm figuring it is our responsibility to set our goals and tell the Fedora Foundation board about them. They may have some additional goals for us, and we may in turn have some to ask of them. Ideally, our goals should be a subset of their goals, which isn't that hard to do. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Content Services Fedora Documentation Project http://www.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject
