Hey folks!
So, unfortunately we had some trouble getting a candidate build done,
but now we have one. The go/no-go meeting is on Thursday at 17:00 UTC -
that's in about 11 hours. Obviously time is tight to do the testing,
but if folks could help test as much stuff as possible, that'd be
great.
We do have one outstanding blocker bug, but there's a chance it'll get
downgraded at the meeting, so it'd be great if we could complete the
testing for all Beta tests on this compose. If there isn't enough time,
though, no-one will blame us :)
Thanks everyone!

Fedora 30 Beta Release Readiness meeting
by Ben Cotton
Dear all,
Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 for the Fedora 30
Beta Release Readiness meeting. This meeting will be held on Thursday,
2018-03-21 at 19:00 UTC.
We will meet to make sure we are coordinated and ready for the Beta
release of Fedora 30. Please note that this meeting will be held even
if the release is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two
hours earlier.
You may receive this message several times in order to open this
meeting to the teams and to raise awareness, so hopefully more team
representatives will come to this meeting. This meeting works best
when we have representatives from all of the teams.
For more information, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Readiness_Meetings.

Proposal: Drop most optional packages from Server DVD
by Stephen Gallagher
For a long time, the Fedora Server Edition has provided a fairly
lightweight default installation, but a fairly heavyweight DVD. This
is because we opted to include a lot of infrastructure-related content
on the disk, such as BIND, FreeIPA, MariaDB and PostgreSQL, among
others.
The reality these days is that this is probably more or less
unnecessary. There's no such thing as a server that is not connected
to a network and since we aren't shipping the entirety of the Fedora
package collection on this disk, inevitably anyone installing from it
is going to need to have access to package mirrors anyway.
So I'd like to propose that we get rid of nearly the entirety of the
<optionlist> section from comps.xml[1][2] and variants-fedora.xml[3].
The result will be a far smaller install DVD, less space wasted on the
mirrors (both for the DVD and the install tree) and very little
difference in user experience.
Arguments against this have historically been that having it all on
one disk is better for network-constrained environments to avoid
downloading content multiple times. Realistically, however, I think
this is generally going to be solved by local mirroring in most
real-world scenarios.

"guest-agents" which may be needed for proper installation, depending
on the hardware.
