Anyone have any particular topics they want to bring up for today's
meeting? If not we'll mostly have a few topics I'd like to bring up
and also have a meet and greet style intro.

For Fedora CoreOS we'd like to have regular meetings to discuss the project.
In the past for Atomic Host we have had meetings weekly on Wednesday's at
16:30 UTC. This past week at the Atomic Working Group weekly meeting [1] it was
proposed [2] that the Atomic Working Group offer the meeting slot to the new
Fedora CoreOS community.
Would we like to take over that timeslot from the Atomic Working group and have
our first meeting this Wednesday at 16:30 UTC?

Next Wednesday is July 4th (and a holiday in the US). I'll be AFK so I can't
run the meeting. Do we have some volunteers that want to step up or should we
cancel for next week?

Originally was going to be the Fedora Project Leader (Matt Miller),
but he got held up so Ian and I subbed in. Was a bit "on the spot"
so apologize if we got anything wrong!

Title: Fedora to the Core
Link: http://linuxunplugged.com/255
Hi everyone. If you saw my talk at DevConf.cz this year
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiCTTHoxv5c&t=890s) you’ll
remember I discussed the Fedora / Red Hat relationship, and
specifically how Fedora has historically worked with new
technologies that come our way through acquisitions made by our
primary sponsor.
Little did I know, but at that very moment, something huge was in
the works, and when my plane landed back in Boston my phone blew up
with messages about CoreOS joining Red Hat.
That’s obviously gigantic news, directly relevant to Fedora, since
we are the project Red Hat depends on for operating-system level
integration and innovation. Now, most of the news is about
Kubernetes, OpenShift, Tectonic, and Quay — but there’s also
Container Linux (the operating system formerly known just as
“CoreOS”). At Red Hat Summit, the company announced and clarified a
bunch of things around product and corporate plans. Now, it’s time
for us to figure out how we can welcome and include the Container
Linux community in the circle of Fedora Friends.
What does this mean for Fedora Atomic Host and other deliverables?
------------------------------------------------------------------
This isn’t the place for technical details — see “what next?” at
the bottom of this message for more. I expect that over the next
year or so, Fedora Atomic Host will be replaced by a new thing
combining the best from Container Linux and Project Atomic. This
new thing will be “Fedora CoreOS” and serve as the upstream to Red
Hat CoreOS.
What does this mean for the Fedora community?
---------------------------------------------
Good things! Container Linux is exciting, innovative, and has a
passionate user and developer community. The people who built it
are awesome and well-aligned with the Fedora community foundations.
The “Fedora Editions” strategy intentionally makes space for
exploring emerging areas in operating system distributions. CoreOS
will help us push that even further and bring new ways of doing
things to the project as a whole.
What does this mean for Container Linux users?
----------------------------------------------
More good things! I know this is kind of scary. Fedora CoreOS is
going to be built from Fedora content rather than in the way it’s
made now. It won’t necessarily be made in the same way we make
Fedora OS deliverables today, though. No matter what, we absolutely
want the CoreOS user experience of “container cluster host OS that
keeps itself up-to-date and you just don’t worry about it”. Again,
technical details are a discussion for elsewhere, but the goal is
for existing Container Linux users to be as happy as — or happier
than! — you are with the OS today.
And here’s the super-important thing: Fedora really is a
community-driven project, and this means that you can get involved
and directly influence how the future Fedora CoreOS works to meet
your needs. If you’re interested and need help getting involved,
don’t hesitate to talk to me, to the Join Fedora team, or to the
developers and community people already working on the project.
Hey, so… “Fedora Core”!
-----------------------
Everything’s a circle, right? But, this has nothing to do with the
Red Hat vs. external split that was Fedora Core and Extras back in
the day. We absolutely do not want to regress to that kind of
community divide. “Core” just happens to be a pretty catchy name
component for an OS that fits the “small, focused base” concept.
This concept is powerful and useful for today’s information
technology and computing world, and we want to give it proper focus
in Fedora.
Okay, so, what next?

Visit the new website at https://coreos.fedoraproject.org/.
The project is just getting started, so there's not much there yet,
but we have an initial FAQ.
If you have questions that aren't answered, or just want to get
involved, join in discussion on the new Discourse board
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/coreos, sign up for the the
development mailing list at
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/coreos@lists.fedoraproject.or…,
and chat on Freenode IRC in #fedora-coreos.
