From ed3397530f31bce6aa0d94d82c59ed7d6b272712 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin W. Flory (he/him) Date: Feb 08 2023 09:23:35 +0000 Subject: Charter: Add annual meetings to the coda of Council operations This commit documents the existence and occurrence of in-person meetings by the Fedora Council, typically held on an annual basis or shared with other major events like Flock or DevConf conferences. These meetings are not actually a secret, since we already plan and discuss the agenda for these meetings in open, public channels. However, our charter does not mention them, and it should! This pulls the same language used by @mattdm in a previous Pull Request. Since that PR has a merge conflict and this change is already approved, I am facilitating it in a new Pull Request. Additionally, this change continues the gradual migration of our entire charter to follow the same AsciiDoc conventions shared by other docs in the Fedora community, e.g. one sentence per line. Some semantic changes were also made for brevity. I am pushing this commit as conditionally approved along with other in- person discussion happening the week of 6 February 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany. ref: Fedora-Council/council-docs#170 Signed-off-by: Justin W.
