We discussed the possibility of making this FAD, global, having simultaneous events on NA, EMEA, LATAM and APAC. Right now we have only point-of-contacts in LATAM (me) and EMEA (Matej).
Especially in light of that,iIs there a lot of value in having this be an in-person FAD rather than a "virtual FAD", conducted online?
From my point of view, Brno has most of the people (if not all) working on this porting. So, having some face to face time to engage in this initiative outside Brno will help distribute the load to other palces. This will facilitating future FADs on this topic, those can be done regionally with online support form Brno.
Also, while I like Python, I'm having trouble seeing this as really highly important for Fedora. It obviously fits with our "first" value, but I don't see a gigantic strategic win. I mean, advancing version numbers happens all the time. Can you elaborate more on the high-level impact expected from this?
The only PyCon that I have been was in 2011 and everybody was saying something along the lines of: "Python 3 is okey if they don't touch my stuff". Despite the time passed, Python 3 is not the default version. I think if advancing version number in Python is going to happen, needs some championship to make it happen (the "first" value). The number of packages having double version is increasing. The burden to maintain those duplicates is time consuming. Time that can be more useful allocated to develop new things instead of work keeping backward compatibility.
But I may not seeing the big picture and maybe there are other task more prominent that will be better for using those collaborator time and project budget.
Not sure what will be the outcome of this proposal. But if this do not work out, I think the best thing to do is to channel this eagerness to help into a high-level impact task.
