I expect we are going to be few in numbers, but I'll wait another minute or two.

I've been trying various small images. But have found it's hard to get down to 1 Gig. Actually, I never made it that small.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:08:40
I've tried icewm and Weston. And although I can get live images on them, getting them to show an icon on the desktop, so you can install them, is rather hard.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:09:22
I've stopped that line of testing and I'm working now on two things.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:09:46
1 - Writting a script so it's easier to do the quarterly images, as well as individual images.

ope.. i forgot to hit enter. hi :)
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:10:57
2 - Getting all the RHEL9/EPEL9 desktops available in our configs. Not only to do a big massive live image, but also so we can create several different versions beyond KDE and GNOME.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>

Hi Neil Hanlon
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:12:27
I'm partway through both the script, and getting the desktops in our configs. I'm hoping to have both done by next months meeting.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:13:30
I think that's all I have for what's been happening last month(s). Does anyone have anything else that they've been working on?
<@nhanlon:beeper.com>
19:13:59
I've been looking into kiwi more, but, no updates really
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:15:24
It's an interesting way of building images. Different than anything I've used before.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:15:38
That's a good thing I think.
<@nhanlon:beeper.com>
19:15:54
agreed

!topic What Next
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:17:31
I'm hoping to have both the script, and the configs done in time, so that we can use the script to build several images for next quarters update.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:17:44
The update should be in the beginning of April.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:18:54
I'm planning on updating KDE in epel9-next, next week ... to whatever is in F39. That should all be done in time for the quarterly update as well.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:19:25
So we should have the latest KDE 5 in the KDE live image.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:20:04
I seem to recall gnome getting some updates on CentOS Stream 9 as well ... nothing too dramatic, but I saw some packages go by.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:20:58
So April's images should be a good refresh in many ways.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:22:14
Oh ... we also need to update our images page - https://sigs.centos.org/altimages/images/
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:23:06
It's been so long since we put those up, I forgot that we had them.
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:23:50
That's all I have planned for this next month. Does anyone else have anything they are planning on doing?
<@nhanlon:beeper.com>
19:25:16
nope
<@tdawson:fedora.im>
19:25:34
Oh, I forgot to mention that Conan Kudo got kiwi updated in Fedora and epel ... it's now at 10.0.4
<@rcallicotte:fedora.im>
19:26:16
