Anyone who can take this on? Maybe Kalev?
Sure, happy to take this on.
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?
I am interested in continuing as well.
Regarding the perceived quietness, I can think of two things:
One is that the #fedora-workstation irc channel isn't working very well since everybody is using the #fedora-desktop channel instead for everyday communication. Might make sense to officially ditch #fedora-workstation?
We could. I have no attachment to it personally, but the existing #fedora-desktop has it's own historical user set and it's on a different IRC server from the rest of the Fedora channels.
Another thing that makes it seem quiet is that we don't have regular weekly meetings. Other teams are doing those and it seems to be a good way to show the world what is going on in the WG -- with meeting status reports and all that stuff.
Right. Christian suggested using more of a FESCo model, which would mean regular meetings (perhaps every-other week?) and possibly a trac instance to track work items. Originally we avoided this overhead because the intention was to "Get stuff done", but in hindsight that's lead to a lack of transparency and accountability.
Unless there are major objections or helpful other suggestions, I'll work with the Fedora infrastructure team to get a trac instance setup and we can work out meetings shortly. (I hate trac, but there's no better solution that I'm aware of.)
