[Fedora-music-list] Update/Ideas for F19 and beyond

[Brendan Jones]

Hi all,

looks like the official website won't be released until Fedora 19. Some 
of you have noticed the nightly composes have been failing due to a 
poorly managed libicu soname bump. As I result I have changed the link 
on the Fedora_Jam wiki page to show only successful builds.

So Jorn and others have done the hard yards for F18, with little thanks 
from the Spins team, but I am still really proud of what we've achieved. 
So, no time for dwelling on the past, lets look to the future. There is 
absolutely no doubt the Jam will be official for F19, so we have another 
cycle to separate us from the rest of the audio releases out there. Me, 
I'm going to be tracking the Anaconda, New Firstboot projects to ensure 
we get what we need -  there were a few things we had to forgo given the 
limitations of where these projects currently stand.

I've also re-stirred the pot on the designs team list for wallpaper and 
KDM icons, but that shouldn't stop any of us submitting ideas into the 
mix as well [1]. I would have thought the design team guys would jump at 
the chance to dabble with this theme - lot of space for creative 
expression, but interest seems minimal for now (but I really like the 
banner they did for us).

We also need to come up with a definitive comps group ie. yum group 
install "Audio" (or another name - ideas welcome) and have this 
available at install time in Anaconda. Using the package list from the 
spin is probably a good place to start, but we probably could trim it 
down somewhat - we don't want the footprint to be too large - that's 
what the spin is for. Again, ideas welcome.

regards,

Brendan
