|
| |
+ === What about FCAIC and FCL?
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ The title of this role evolved and changed over the years since its inception in February 2015.
|
| |
+ When the role was first created, the role title was *Fedora Community Leader* (F.C.L.).
|
| |
+ At the time, the F.C.L. role provided much needed separation with roles of the Fedora Project Leader.
|
| |
+ However, the title did not feel right yet either.
|
| |
+ Anyone can be a leader in the Fedora community, whether they are employed by Red Hat or not!
|
| |
+ We did not want to imply otherwise.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Later, in October 2016, the role title was changed to *Fedora Community Action & Impact Coordinator* (F.C.A.I.C).
|
| |
+ This title was lengthier but better captured what community engagement means in a large, globally-distributed community like Fedora.
|
| |
+ Over time, community management in Free & Open Source Software (F.O.S.S.) communities is better recognized as an important part of successful projects.
|
| |
+ More projects, organizations, and companies working on F.O.S.S. introduced new roles in community management and leadership.
|
| |
+ However, community work does not have an industry-accepted job ladder, as is more common with software engineering.
|
| |
+ Red Hat eventually settled on the title of _community architect_ for community work in its pioneering Open Source communities.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ Fast forward to 2023.
|
| |
+ The landscape has changed and evolved!
|
| |
+ So, it was the ideal time to reflect on the title for this role.
|
| |
+ The title was changed in January 2023 to *Fedora Community Architect* (F.C.A.), its current title.
|
| |
+ Ultimately, the goal of changing the name is to better describe the role and what the F.C.A. does in Fedora.
|
| |
+ The lengthy "F.C.A.I.C." title usually came with an explanation to others unfamiliar with Fedora and our community culture.
|
| |
+ F.C.A. is also a handy shortening of the longer F.C.A.I.C. acronym too!
