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?

Upcoming changes to Docs presentation
by Peter Boy
I am forwarding an email from Ben Cotton that was (or should be) sent to the mailing lists of all Fedora variants. Something seems to have gone wrong with the server list.

Hi friends! On behalf of the Docs team, I'd like to share with your
our plans to reorganize how some documentation is presented to users.
You can read about it on the Community Blog[1]. The short version is
that we intend to replace the release-based focus with a focus on our
variants. Behind the scenes, content will be reused as much as
possible, but users will be presented with documentation focused on
how they get Fedora Linux: as Workstation, Server, etc. You can see
the proof of concept on Fedorapeople[2].
As part of this, we'd like your input and your help. You can always
reach us on the #docs tag in Discussion[3] or in
#docs:fedoraproject.org on Matrix (#fedora-docs on Libera.chat). We're
also holding two office hours next week:
* Tuesday June 7, 1500 UTC fedora-meeting-1(a)libera.chat
* Thursday June 9 1900 UTC fedora-meeting-2(a)libera.chat
