GPT Partitioning
by Peter Boy
Last meeting we discussed whether we should change to GPT as default partitioning. Now some of our members have submitted a change proposal to make GPT the default partitioning for new installations. I think this is actually long overdue, yet better communication among us would actually be nice as well.

I don’t know if there is a potential problem. Some time ago, if I remember correctly it was Neil who wrote in a discussion about storage that a software RAID is no longer possible, because - so my memory - the biosboot partition is not replicable over multiple disks. So if the previous boot disk fails, you can't just boot from another disk.
I never checked it and didn’t read the technical specification. And all our server have hardware raid. So, does anybody knows about it in detail?

You may have already noticed ....
by Peter Boy
it finally happened. Fedora 36 is out of the door, after all the stumbling blocks along the way.
I pushed the latest releases of our documentation upstream, as far as they needed an update for F36. After the docs site updates again, it will be online. Probably in an hour or so.
Nevertheless, I think we should polish our review process.

Migration to GetLab
by Peter Boy
In our meeting x3mboy raised the question if we should start to migrate our repo to GitLab as many projects do. We decided to open a discussion on the mailing list.
So, the floor is open.
My opinion: IMHO, pagure does for us what we need at the moment. Therefore, there is no need for us to migrate now. And we have so many task to (see https://pagure.io/fedora-server/boards/Works%20in%20progress) we are well advised to concentrate on those. Not only, that one has to do the work, all others have to adapt there working routine and maybe spend some time to learn the new / different functionality. We should better spend the time into our working projects.

F37 and open bug/rfe
by Peter Boy
We have still to determine our goals for F37.
see https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/79
One topic we have to care about is an open bug/rfe, we already postponed.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2054625
We decided to continue our discussion on mailing list. Among other things, we still disagreed a bit on how to judge z-shell.
I think we should really review server DVD content. It was basically created a decade ago, presumably with various adjustments in the meantime. But we have some unresolved issues about it still open.
