There were no objections, and with several +1 votes, the request was approved via lazy consensus. ##Community Initiatives Process * The council discussed a previously drafted (but unpublished) statement to suspend the Community Initiatives process. * There was a debate on the effectiveness of the Initiatives process. Some felt it was fundamentally flawed, citing issues with clarity, communication, and a perception that proposals required an "insider" to be approved. Others argued that despite its flaws, the process had led to significant achievements. * The discussion highlighted that the current process struggles with proposals involving third-party entities (e.g., Nvidia, Bazzite). #The Future of Initiatives & The "Sandbox" Proposal The "Sandbox" proposal was discussed as a potential future mechanism for large-scale projects. A distinction was made between different types of project frameworks: * Changes: Scoped to a single release for specific engineering work. * Initiatives: Viewed as containers for multiple Changes and cross-team work spanning several releases. * Sandbox: A potential new "incubation" space for experimentation and exploration before a project becomes an official Change or Initiative. The council agreed to put the current Initiatives process on hold indefinitely and encourage community discussion around the Sandbox proposal first. After that discussion concludes, the council will revisit whether to retire or evolve the Initiatives concept. ##Action Items * Aoife Moloney (@amoloney): Mark ticket #569 as approved. * Aoife Moloney (@amoloney): Edit and publish the statement suspending the Community Initiatives process to Discourse and via email. * Fedora Council: Come back to the question of whether to retire or evolve the Community Initiatives process after the "Sandbox" proposal discussion reaches a conclusion.
