Federa 35 Server default editor
by Peter Boy
In Fedora 34 the default editor was nano, for Workstation and also for Server. In my latest default F35 Server installation I noticed vim-default-editor was installed.
Did some good soul take pity and bring vim back to us or did something go wrong with my installation?

How to cast vote on Server WG membership
by John W. Himpel
I am a neophyte to pagure. I have managed to signon and see the list of issues. Issue #67 talking about Evaluating
Fedora Server Working Group. Is that where I cast my vote to approve/disapprove of membership changes? Or will there
be a separate ticket for each individual being proposed for a change in membership? If that is the proper place, do I
just put +1/0/-1 in a comment?

Voting about new members open
by Peter Boy
According to our 2022-04-20 IRC meeting I start the voting to enroll as new members of the Server Working Group (listed by surname):
Jason Beard (cooltshirtguy)
Davide Cavalca (dcavalca)
Stephen Daley (mowest)
Emmanuel Seyman (eseyman)
You can either vote for all four in one go by issuing
[+1|0|-1]
or by differentiating in the order of the list
[+1|0|-1 / +1|0|-1 / +1|0|-1/ +1|0|-1]
As an example, if you vote to accept all four in one go, issue just
+1
If you want to differentiate
+1 / +1 / +1 / +1
You vote by adding a comment with just your vote (and nothing else added) to the ticket:
https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/67
You need to be logged in with your FAS account.
Voting start now and is open until Thursday May 5, 0500 UTC according to our rules.
To accept we need at least three +1 and zero -1
Let's start.
(It's the first time we vote since out reestablishment last year)

There was a longer discussion about the subject. And the largely unanimous position was that we still need bios boot for a longer time for various reasons. Everything must be done to find a technical solution that makes this possible under the condition of available resources.
Agreed: Davide Cavalca and Michel Alexandre Salim volunteer to work further on the subject.

First experiences with beta candidate 1.2
by Peter Boy
I did some testing with beta-1.1 candidate
Installation
Went fine. /etc/resolv.conf a link again, no SELinux ACV messages with first boot any more.
Cockpit
The „Applications“ menu item still doesn’t list any installable applications
The list of installed applications doesn’t contain cockpit-filesharing update. Question is: is that expected or a bug?
@Matthew: When you select File Sharing you get a message "Failed to load NFS services. Is NFS installed or enabled?" (NFS) and "Samba must be configured to include registry. Add `include = registry` to the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf“ (Samba)
Is that intended behaviour or should the rpm install do those adaptations?
And we are still missing localisation for cockpit-filesharing update
Virtualization
Installs flawlessly. The combo of qemu-kvm-core, libvirt, and virt-install now installs 104 packages on a fresh install, instead of 165 with beta 1.1 candidate. Either we will miss something or someone did a great job in housekeeping.
Split name resolution doesn’t work for the libvirt internal network. I’ve to inspect that issue further. Possibly the configuration is still deficient (and not any of the apps).
postgresql
installed flawless
