From e2932a6d7f4284aa0fdfbc4d8c09c5d9b4ccabe1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin W. Flory Date: Oct 02 2020 16:58:19 +0000 Subject: Initial commit: Community Publishing Platforms This is a first draft of a Community Publishing Platforms policy document for the Fedora Project. I used the original Fedora Wiki "Planet" page as an initial reference when drafting this policy. I also referred to the following pages: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines#Community_sites_and_accounts https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/council/policy/policy-change-policy/ Signed-off-by: Justin W.

-The Planet is a place for expression of many ideas related to the Fedora Project. -Not every idea needs to be promotional; some ideas may be controversial or critical, or evoke other mental or emotional responses. -However, all posts to the Planet should reflect our commitment as a community to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview#Our_Community[ be excellent to each other]. -The following list contains examples of content that are not acceptable on the Planet, because they reduce the incentive for people to contribute in our community. +*Community Publishing Platforms*, shortened as *Platforms*, are content-focused websites that publish Creative Works. +In Fedora, "Creative Works" use the same definition of content and work as the https://creativecommons.org/licenses/[Creative Commons]. +Platforms are places for expression of ideas and thoughts specifically related to or in the interest of the Fedora Project and its community. -=== Inappropriate material +[[examples]] +=== Examples -Material which is deemed inappropriate may be removed from the Planet without prior notice, although the Fedora Project's contributors do attempt to resolve every such situation constructively and amicably. +Community Publishing Platforms include, but are not limited to, the following examples: -Depictions of nudity, near-nudity, or other adult material:: - Our contributors represent a wide variety of backgrounds and viewpoints. - We do not want to unnecessarily restrict the audience of people who might become contributors in the future. - These types of images can have a substantial negative effect on people's perception of the Fedora community, and their desire to contribute to it. - Also, some types of material with mature subject matter may not be appropriate for all ages in our community. - Therefore they are not appropriate for the Planet, whether they are featured in and of themselves, or as backdrops for other information. +* https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/[Community Blog] +* http://fedoraplanet.org/[Planet] +* Social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.) -Use of material that violates the owner's copyright:: - The Fedora Project always seeks to spread free software and content. - We do this in part by promoting creation, use, and remixing of content that reflects our values, such as Creative Commons licensed material. - We ask that all contributors respect the copyrights of content creators, and help us promote free content. -==== Reporting a problem +[[content]] +== What content is appropriate for Platforms? -If you encounter material on the Planet that seems clearly inappropriate according to these guidelines, please notify us on freenode.net at https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#fedora-websites[#fedora-websites], or email mailto:webmaster@fedoraproject.org[the Fedora webmaster]. +Community Publishing Platforms feature Creative Works curated and managed by an individual contributor or groups of contributors. +Platforms may be provided on infrastructure or web services hosted and managed by the Fedora Project or its sponsors. +While Creative Works on Platforms are not officially endorsed by the Fedora Project or Red Hat, because they are part of the Fedora Community (and use the Fedora trademarks to identify themselves), Creative Works must comply with the xref:project:ROOT:code-of-conduct.adoc[Fedora Code of Conduct]. +Individuals and creators on Platforms who are unable to meet this standard of conduct will have their Creative Works removed and will be not be promoted/advertised by Fedora. +Our intent is for all Fedora community members to have a positive and welcoming experience in all community spaces, both official and unofficial. -== How to join the Planet +[[forbidden]] +=== What is absolutely forbidden? -*Read the guidelines first.* +The following categories of Creative Works are never permitted under any circumstances. +Sharing these types of Creative Works on Community Publishing Platforms will result in immediate deletion or possible account suspension depending on severity: -Before you join the Planet, you need to understand a few simple guidelines on what's appropriate to post there. -Please read https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Planet#Appropriate_Material[these guidelines on appropriate material] before you aggregate your blog. +* Depictions of nudity, near-nudity, or other adult content +* Use of material that violates the owner's copyright -. As a Fedora contributor you must have a Fedora Account System (FAS) account, have signed the contributor agreement (CLA), and be a member of at least one other group in FAS. -. Start by logging in to your fedorapeople.org account. - You must be using the SSH key https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/fedorapeople.org[that you uploaded into the FAS], and your userspace is created the first time you log in: -[source,bash] ----- -ssh accountname@fedorapeople.org ----- +[[report]] +== How to report a Creative Work -. Note: - It may take an hour for the server to sync your uploaded public key and repeated attempts to log in will cause your IP address to be banned, so be patient. -. Figure out, or set up, the category specific feed for your blog that will contain information relevant to the Fedora Planet. -. Create a file named `.planet` in the root of your home directory on fedorapeople.org. - The contents of the file follow the pattern below. - In the brackets *[ ]*, use the URL for the category specific feed from the previous step. - -[source,toml] ----- -[http://yourname.wordpress.com/category/fedora/feed/] -name = Your Name -face = http://yourname.fedorapeople.org/yourpicture.png ----- - -The first line in brackets is the *URL of your category specific RSS/RSS2/Atom feed*, not your blog's URL. -The next line is *your name* as you want it to appear on the aggregator. -The final line is optional and is the complete URL to your *hackergotchi* or personal icon. -There should be no spaces or tabs preceeding ANY of the above lines in your `.planet` file. -You can have more than one entry in your `.planet` file - just add another one in the same format. - -Note: -If you need to list multiple blogs, for some reason, you can repeat the block above using the appropriate, different values. - -=== Category, label, or tag recommended - -Please use a category, label, or tag on your personal blog to feed to the Planet, rather than your whole blog. -This allows you to mark posts that are interesting for the Fedora community. -Here are some specific instructions for making a category or label and finding your correct URL: - -* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_provide_a_category_specific_feed_using_WordPress[How to provide a category specific feed using WordPress] -* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_provide_a_category_specific_feed_using_Blogger[How to provide a category specific feed using Blogger] -* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_provide_a_category_specific_feed_using_Blogspot[How to provide a category specific feed using Blogspot] -* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_provide_a_category_specific_feed_using_Tumblr[How to provide a category specific feed using Tumblr] - -For Hugo, you would need to create a separate RSS template: https://gohugo.io/templates/rss/[[1\]]. -For Jekyll, you can create a Fedora specific RSS feed: https://cialu.net/how-to-create-fedora-feed-in-jekyll/[[2\]]. - -=== Joining a sub-planet - -There's a sub-planet picker in the top right corner of main Fedora Planet page. -Sub-planets contain posts related to a specific topic. -If you want to join a sub-planet, follow the same instructions for creating `.planet`, but instead create `.planet.` file with the same structure. -The part is derived from the URL for that sub-planet, so for example _Desktop_ sub-planet with http://fedoraplanet.org/desktop/ URL looks for `.planet.desktop` file and _Summer Coding_ sub-planet with http://fedoraplanet.org/summer-coding/ URL looks for `.planet.summer-coding` file. - -If you're not sure whether your content is appropriate for a particular sub-planet, contact one of its existing authors and ask. - -==== Sub-planet posts are not automatically forwarded to the main Fedora Planet feed - -Most people probably want their post to appear both in the sub-planet feed and the main planet feed. -That does not happen automatically, so you should have both your `.planet` and `planet.subplanet` files created to make sure your post appears in both. -You can use different categories on your blog and then use different feeds in the planet configuration files, to be able to publish just to the main planet feed (but not the sub-planet feed) if you need it. - - -== Hackergotchis - -Hackergotchi are avatars, or personal symbols representing people, used on Planet aggregators. -Often a hackergotchi is a "floating head" edited from a recent photograph, but it might be a cartoon or another symbol. -To learn more, create your own hackergotchi, or have the Design Team create one for you, have a look at the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hackergotchi[Hackergotchi] page. - - -== Additional help - -Feel free to email mailto:admin@fedoraproject.org[admin at fedoraproject.org] for help. -Here is a small screencast illustrating the steps needed to create and upload your own `.planet` file: - -http://howto.nicubunu.ro/video/planet_fedora.ogg - - -== Reporting Bugs - -If you have found a bug, please send an email to the mailto:webmaster@fedoraproject.org[Websites team] including a description, screenshot (if you have one), browser name and version, and OS. - -=== Test Matrix - -We have put together a https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Planet_Browser_Test_Matrix[test matrix] for the Planet's look and feel across browsers and platforms. -Feel free to take a look at it, or help us to expand our coverage. +If you encounter material on a Platform that appears to violate these guidelines, follow the reporting guidelines in the xref:project:ROOT:code-of-conduct.adoc[Fedora Code of Conduct].
