Introducing Suzanne Yeghiayan (aka Sly)
by Suzanne Yeghiayan
Hi,
I wanted to introduce myself since I am taking over Kate Carcia's role as the Fedora DevOps Program Manager. I've been at Red Hat nearly 12 years and spent the first 6.5 years as a RHEL Program Manager. I still work for a Red Hat engineering manager as his Chief of Staff but wanted to help out here as well. It's been 5.5 years since I've been in this type of role, so please be patient with me. I'm excited for this opportunity and to work with you.
Thanks,
Sly

First Atomic Workstation/WorkstationOstree update
by Colin Walters
In Fedora 27 we released
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/WorkstationOstr...
Now that https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/373 is fixed, the first update
is available, i.e. you can `rpm-ostree upgrade`.
```
# rpm-ostree status
State: idle

```
Having an updated ostree commit stream in sync with the bodhi batches
should help with synchronization issues.
There's a bit more information about the project at
https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config
I and several other people use it as a "daily driver"; as the page
says I think the project is useful for interested technical users, but
there's a whole lot more to do; I just noticed the rpm-ostree plugin
for gnome-software isn't enabled, going to fix that. I'd also really
like to plumb through automatic updates by default.
A big picture question is how much we stay in sync with Workstation
as it exists today; for example I find
it confusing to have applications both via rpm and flatpak, and I think
it'd make sense to thin things down more. At least drop gnome-boxes
by default, and potentially libvirt too.
In this path we'd really be expecting most users to do package layering
for things like that; personally I use `vagrant-libvirt` a lot for example.
But OTOH there's already PRs like:
https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/pull-request/47
which add things.
