Subject: Workstation status and TODOs
Hi All,
We have just less than 3 months before the F21 Alpha change deadline
comes. That means that now is the time to get going in earnest on
making sure we have all the things we want lined up for the initial
release of Workstation done. Matthias and Christian have done a great
job of getting us started, and have gotten some major Changes
approved. The GNOME 3.12 rebase was accepted, and the enabling of
SCLs should go over fairly well once the questions are addressed.
So what is left? Off the top of my head I can think of:
1) Getting the kickstart for Workstation cleaned up with the
appropriate package lists (I'd be willing to get this rolling)
Thanks for taking the lead on this.
2) Integrating KDE into the above in whatever form we work out with
the KDE
team
I am heading off on vacation for 2 weeks tomorrow, but maybe Matthias and
Lukas and own this one?
3) KDE variant of Adwaita theme
Still working on sorting out
the staffing to take this on. Should hopefully have some progress soon.
4) Firewall/firewalld integration issues
Had a call with the
firewalld devs late last week. Will send out the meeting notes to the fedora-desktop list
today.
5) Installation and compose methods work with rel-eng (live image
default, but install tree necessary for compose. PXE/netboot iso?
etc)
Anyone who can take this on? Maybe Kalev?
I'm sure I'm missing a few things here. Please chime in with
what I'm
forgetting. In short, there's more than enough work to go around.
Lastly, we've been rather quiet as a WG as of late. The Cloud WG is
going through a confirmation process with their members to make sure
people are still interested and willing to do work. That's not a bad
idea for ourselves. WG members, please take the time to reply with
whether or not you wish to remain a WG member.
I do, and I do think that we need to
find a better way to function as a
working group. I take part of the blame here for not pushing more on
this myself. Maybe we should try to structure our work like FeSCO? Since
the plan is for the working groups to replace many of the functions of
FeSCO then this would maybe be a good model?

As an aside, much of the "heavy lifting" in terms of
process is done
for this release. The PRD and Tech Specs have been approved, and the
initial round of Changes are submitted. Not being overly familiar
with the underlying code in much of the DE stacks, my participation
has been limited mostly to those kinds of process things. I think we
still have some discussions to have on process and interactions with
other groups, but I thought I would double check that the WG feels I'm
doing a decent job representing them in this capacity. I'm happy to
continue to pitch in where I can, but if the WG feels they'd be better
served by someone else as the FESCo liaison, please speak up.
