So there's been a fair bit of email back and forth, but nothing's really
"caught" yet, it seems. So let me sum up where I think we are:
We've got a handful of people with code. Here's the summary, as I see it:
a. Rookery, by Steve Grubb. Intended for building distros in general,
but also has a tool for building a LiveCD in particular.
b. Stateless Linux plus mklivecd, by Alex Larsson. Falls out of the
Stateless Linux work that Red Hat R&D was doing, but is now in
stasis, I believe.
c. ADIOS, by Neville Richter.
So I think it's time to pick at least one of these platforms and "get a
move on". Unless I hear MASSIVE DISAGREEMENT :) here's the way I'd like
to proceed:
1. GET CODE INTO CVS. If you want your solution to be considered, ack the
list, and we'll make sure that you've got a place to put your code. I'll
work with Elliott (guru of Fedora CVS) to make sure that we have modules
in CVS for all of this code.
2. WEEKLY MEETING. A mailing list is good, but it's not very high
bandwidth, and when we need to debate about something, IRC is much
quicker. Therefore, I propose:
a. DATE/TIME. Always hard to get global meeting times that work for
all. I've seen the most traffic from US and Australia, so I propose
as the first meeting time:
c. FREQUENCY. Weekly or bi-weekly, depending -- but for now, let's
just have the first one first and see how it goes. :)
3. WIKI. We've got wiki space available to us on fedoraproject.org. When
the time comes, we'll need something, and this wiki is being well-used for
the Extras and Docs projects.
