The subgroup met on 13.Sep.
Agenda and notes
https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/Encryption_and_partitioning_meeting_01#
Top takeaways:
-user data is sacrosanct: user privacy should be protected but also
their data must be recoverable
-fscript/ext4 leading candidate
-integration, resources, time frame are the biggest open questions
-initramfs limits a11y, complicates i18n, basic UI simply isn't available
-incremental approach preferred
We also discussed systemd-homed, which has since been announced and a
presentation available:
