ACTION REQUIRED: Seeking for Env & Stacks WG meeting time + meeting this week?
by Honza Horak
Hi guys, specially new members (CC'd just in case you don't follow this
ML yet),
there almost were elections and there have also been some complaints
about the meeting time when we meet on IRC every week, let me start
picking up a new time for the meeting.
Since we have quite big timezone difference even between voting members
and there are other guys in the world who would like to join
discussions, let's do what we used to do already in the beginning, let's
pick up two times and alternate on odd/even weeks.
So, voting members of Env and Stacks WG and also others who would like
to attend the IRC meeting, please, fill in your availability here until
1st Feb 23:59:
http://whenisgood.net/2h8sceq
(voting members will be obviously preferred if no perfect time for all
is found)
Another thing is that I'll be not available this week for the meeting.
But in case somebody volunteers to hold one, I'm sure we'll have still a
lot to say about the rings and the feedback given on the devel ML.

Subject: [Pulp-list] Python Plugins Released
The Pulp team is pleased to announce the release of a new set of plugins
that can be used to manage Python content. With these plugins, you can
upload your own Python packages to Pulp, copy them between repositories,
publish the repositories, and use pip to install them on clients. The
initial release is 0.0.0-1, and we are already working to add some
simple synchronization features in an upcoming release.
http://pulp-python.readthedocs.org/en/0.0-release/
Try them out and let us know what you think!

Workstation WG post on application bundles
by Nick Coghlan
By way of Christian's recent post on F22 workstation plans [1], I
found this detailed post regarding the current status of application
bundles for rich client apps:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/desktop/2015-January/011427.html
I don't currently see anything there that conflicts with anything
we're planning to do, but it's probably something we should keep an
eye on to help ensure that the developer experiences for server side
applications and rich client applications don't diverge too far.
In particular, one question I can see arising is "What's the
difference between an application runtime and a software collection?".
Is there a better answer than "you can use software collections
without needing to run them in a separate container"?
Regards,
Nick.

New Env & Stacks WG crew - elections not necessary
by Honza Horak
Dear contributors,
based on the Governance Charter [1], the first Environment and Stacks
working group elections were supposed to be held these days. We looked
for 4 new voting members for the group.
The nominations period ended few days back and there are exactly 4
nominations at [2]. Based on my poor math, since 4 - 4 = 0 there is no
sense in holding the elections, since the results are already set.
Thus, let me cancel further election process and join me to welcome the
following new members of Environment and Stacks working group:
* Slavek Kabrda (bkabrda), who's already been member so far
* Colin Walters (walters)
* Tomas Tomecek (ttomecek)
* Petr Hracek (phracek)
Guys, welcome on board, I'm looking forward to work with you!
The rest of the voting crew is:
* Honza Horák (hhorak)
* Nick Coghlan (ncoghlan)
* Jens Petersen (juhp)
* Václav Pavlín (vpavlin)
* Stuart Campbell (sicampbell)

Rings and building in copr (non-koji)
by Honza Horak
Hi,
this is related to today's meeting discussion [1] about rings and
utilizing koji and copr as well.. I got quite important comment from
Dennis (CC'd):
"If its going to be part of fedora in any shape or form officially it
has to be built in koji ... it allows releng to control shipping,
signing and delivery, it allows updates to go through bodhi ... it gives
a central place for people to look at fedora builds"
I think these are valid points but to me it still seems like we may
still work with that. It would just mean non-koji-Rings wouldn't be
considered "official fedora", which seems similar to less-strict rules
and thus lesser quality expectations.
Or is it a bigger issue?

help put together a modularization/rings Fedora Objective
by Matthew Miller
First, background — take a look at
<http://fedoramagazine.org/lets-talk-about-fedora-project-objectives/>
if you haven't seen it.
And also, <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/17>, our first (in
the midst of being formally) approved medium-term objective. I'd like
to propose another one, basically in the same template, for the other
major part of Fedora.next — the "rings".
I think it's very clear that the future of Linux distributions is in
this model, rather than in the "flat" model we have now. That's a
radical change, and is going to need a huge amount of effort over the
course of several releases. And that effort is going to need a lot of
coordination and planning, and high-level support from the project
overall. An objective proposal (and acceptance of that proposal) is the
way to do it. Let's get that started!

Software Collections mostly unanswered questions
by Honza Horak
Hi,
as promised there is a wiki page [1] with mostly questions that seem to
be unanswered so far. Some of those questions have already some proposed
answer, but this is still subject of discussion. This was prepared to
move forward since it seems the SCL topic is too complex now.
Let's discuss the topics on Env and Stacks mailing list and vote on
controversial items on some of the next Env and Stacks meeting.
Recommended way to start a discussion:
1) Open up a discussion about a specific topic on the ML (may be one
question or can cover more related questions).
2) add a link to the ML thread into the wiki page [1], so the discussion
is tracked
(feel free to add new question to the wiki if not mentioned there yet)
