 Fedora Netizen is an open source operating system for enabling
 internet citizens, also known as netizens, to engage online services
 and communities. Fedora Netizen includes software packages for
 focusing on civic engagement and internet safety features related to

 Nonprofit Organizations and public agencies will benefit from Fedora
 Netizen by switching to free open-source software (FOSS) for running
 public services on the Internet. Fedora Netizen empowers netizens

So this sounds like it might be a server variant instead of a live
media? If NPO's are intended to use it to run services, I would think
basing it off server and perhaps working on some server roles would be
good here... 

Perhaps you meant that this would be good for NPO's users to use as a
workstation to talk to their servers?

If this is a collection of packages, perhaps it would be as well served
by having a group available of these packages? Then anyone could
install those from any other Fedora install. Of course they would need
to have network then... 

 I removed the psychology topics since it seemed to be a bit confusing
 to others which means users would also have been confused about the
 spin. Regarding the listing of the packages, my intent is to simply
 make users aware of what open source software is included in the spin
 by categorizing the packages. I intend to include best practices,
 how-to's, and other related documentation on a spin related website
 for the user to configure and customize on their own after reading
 documentation.

Hi Corey. Without comment on the rest of it right now (because I

 No. I am not sure what point you are trying to make here...
 can you try and rephrase or clarify?

 You can still install and configure tor on any install.

 I think it pretty unlikely that tor setup would be default on all
 installs. Tor is slow, many people don't want it.

 Having a spin where it's setup and configured for you could be a useful
 starting point for some people who desire that. You can always adjust
 from there.

  You could take that as a general criticism of most of the non-DE spins
  out there.

 They are handy starting points, IMHO.

  I would be happier if someone did the hard work of making things more
  secure, in the products and spins that we already have.  I don't think
  our users should have to choose between a more secure and a less
  secure Fedora. eg., just because someone wants to use Tor, doesn't
  mean that she should have to install a different flavour of
  Fedora. She should be able to configure it in any of the flavours or
  products that she is already using.

 Sure and they can.

 There's (as always) many ways to the same goals here.

 * A spin that is configured so people have an example and starting
   point.

 * Better out of the box config on packages (like tor) that make it
   easier to set them up and configure things to use them.

 * Better docs on how to do the above.

 Look at all that choice!

Re: F23 Self Contained Change: Netizen Spin

2015-06-03 Thread Miloslav Trmač
 And generally I agree with the concern raised on the spins list
 (https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/spins/2015-May/004222.html and
 following) that the spin description can, at least by a quick read without
 reading the actual kickstart, likely to be misunderstood to deliver more
 than it actually does. For example, just including a tor package by no means
 guarantees privacy (e.g. it does nothing about all the ways Fedora leaks
 information about being Fedora).

So, to be explicit:
FESCo hat on
The spin description, and spin contents, need to be put in line, so that users 
installing the spin will get what they will expect to get by reading the 
description; either by changing the description to more precisely match the 
limited amount of what the spin currently does, or by changing the scope to 
match the fairly ambitious description.
/FESCo hat on

Also, without wielding the FESCo hat, at least to me that the discussion of 
philosophy and hierarchies is obscuring rather than clarifying the purpose and 
scale of the project.

 On this particular procedural point, I think _all_ spins should be considered
 system-wide due to the required involvement of rel-eng, council and others;
 they are by no means “self-contained” in the sense that nobody else needs to
 help with getting them done.

The question whether Spins need to be System-wide or Self-contained Changes has 
been raised on the last FESCo meeting and the conclusion was to have Spins as 
Self-contained. However every request for a Spin goes to FESCo for a review. 
So, FESCo has the opportunity to turn a specific Spin requests to a System-wide 
change if they consider so.

Regards,
Jan

 And generally I agree with the concern raised on the spins list
 (https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/spins/2015-May/004222.html and
 following) that the spin description can, at least by a quick read without
 reading the actual kickstart, likely to be misunderstood to deliver more
 than it actually does. For example, just including a tor package by no means
 guarantees privacy (e.g. it does nothing about all the ways Fedora leaks
 information about being Fedora).

F23 Self Contained Change: Netizen Spin

I am sorry for the wrong subject of my previous post. This is a Self Contained 
Change, not a System Wide.

 = Proposed Self Contained Change: Netizen Spin =
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Netizen_Spin
 
 Change owner(s):  Corey Leong cleong at fedoraproject dot org
 
 A Fedora Spin for promoting and supporting internet citizenship and citizen
 engagement.
 
 == Detailed Description ==
 Fedora Netizen is an open source operating system for enabling internet
 citizens to engage with online services and communities. The goal for
 Netizen is to pattern the operating system's features after Maslow's
 Hierarchy of Needs which was published in his 1943 paper, A Theory of Human
 Motivation. As a professor of pyschology, Abraham Maslow theorized that
 individuals attempt to experience five stages of needs starting with
 physiological, safety, social, esteem, and then ending with
 self-actualization. Beginning with the first level of physiological needs,
 individuals' motivational needs ascend upwards to higher levels of needs in
 order, however, only after establishing lower levels of needs first before
 ascending to the next level.
 
 The philosophy for Netizen closely relates to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs by
 establishing three primary software package levels in a hierarchical model.
 The first and lowest software package level addresses the need for Netizen
 Privacy in the areas of personal privacy, informational privacy, and
 communication privacy. After Netizen Privacy, the second software package
 level addresses the need for Netizen Security in the areas of data security,
 local security, and network security. After Netizen Security, the third
 software package level addresses the need for Netizen Engagement in the
 areas of publishing, education, and social engagement.
 
 Future Netizen software package levels will address analytics, awareness,
 design, develop, and others.
 
 == Scope ==
 A Netizen theme is the final requirement to be developed per marketing
 department support of a look and feel in order to replace the current
 default theme. This is an isolated change.
 * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
 * Release engineering: Add spin to spin-kickstarts, ensure spin has been
 tested, and release with rest of spins
 * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

A spin is a big effort with many interoperating packages and coordination
with other teams (primarily releng, but you should also seek guidance from
QA).  It qualifies as a System Wide Change.

Especially if this particular spin is asking for significant deviation

discussion). In that case, this definitely should be considered as
system-wide.
