Hello!
I don't know enough about the Jam. Were they using an FAS group to
manage things, like packages, for example? I couldn't find an "audio" or
"jam" FAS group when I looked.
Same, I couldn't find one either.
If you can tell us your FAS username, I can add you to the wikiedit
group in the meantime so you can edit pages there.
My FAS username is "eeickmeyer". :)
The packaging SIG has a very well defined process---the idea is to
ensure that package maintainers are aware of their duties and the skills
they need:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers
Again, quite a few sponsors around, so if you take over the maintenance
of the Fedora Jam SIG and its packages, there should be no trouble
sponsoring you as a package maintainer too :)
Yes, I've been looking at that. Since I'll be introducing one or two new packages
that I know of off the top of my head, it just seems to be a logical choice for somewhere
to go. One of those packages isn't quite ready (I want to go with whatever we release
into Ubuntu), so I'm waiting on that. Additionally, we plan on moving that package
from Launchpad's git system to github so that we can de-ubuntuize it, for lack of a
better term. :)
I don't see an FAS group associated with this either, somehow.
I believe that's the "packaging" group, pretty simply. I saw it in the list.
Seems to be a prerequisite for joining a lot of other groups.
So, in general, a SIG is just a bunch of people working on something
together. A SIG may not always have an associated FAS group---it depends
on what the SIG's requirements are.
I also saw your post on Telegram about the #fedora-jam IRC channel. I
think @jflory gave you a link on the process already. However, I noticed
that the Jam seems to have a channel already: #fedora-audio
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Jam_Audio_Spin#Support
I'll join the #fedora-audio channel, but if it's dead with just lurkers, I'd
rather start with something new.
Do you think this can either be reused, or if not, the documentation
updated so your users know? (There also seems to be a mailing list.)
Let me put it this way: there's a ton of outdated documentation on Ubuntu's wiki
regarding Ubuntu Studio that I haven't even touched because it's that poorly
outdated. That one page for Jam is nothing compared to what is on the Ubuntu wiki, so
I'll likely just reuse that page.
Thanks for all your help. Still trying to get things organized, so this is super helpful.
Erich
