2024-03-14 19:04:39 <@tdawson:fedora.im> I expect we are going to be few in numbers, but I'll wait another minute or two.

2024-03-14 19:07:23 <@tdawson:fedora.im> 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.
2024-03-14 19:08:40 <@tdawson:fedora.im> 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.
2024-03-14 19:09:22 <@tdawson:fedora.im> I've stopped that line of testing and I'm working now on two things.
2024-03-14 19:09:46 <@tdawson:fedora.im> 1 - Writting a script so it's easier to do the quarterly images, as well as individual images.
2024-03-14 19:10:10 <@nhanlon:beeper.com> ope.. i forgot to hit enter. hi :) 
2024-03-14 19:10:57 <@tdawson:fedora.im> 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.
2024-03-14 19:11:03 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Hi Neil Hanlon 
2024-03-14 19:12:27 <@tdawson:fedora.im> 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.
2024-03-14 19:13:30 <@tdawson:fedora.im> 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?
2024-03-14 19:13:59 <@nhanlon:beeper.com> I've been looking into kiwi more, but, no updates really
2024-03-14 19:15:24 <@tdawson:fedora.im> It's an interesting way of building images.  Different than anything I've used before.
2024-03-14 19:15:38 <@tdawson:fedora.im> That's a good thing I think.
2024-03-14 19:15:54 <@nhanlon:beeper.com> agreed
2024-03-14 19:16:16 <@tdawson:fedora.im> !topic What Next
2024-03-14 19:17:31 <@tdawson:fedora.im> 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.
2024-03-14 19:17:44 <@tdawson:fedora.im> The update should be in the beginning of April.
2024-03-14 19:18:54 <@tdawson:fedora.im> 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.
2024-03-14 19:19:25 <@tdawson:fedora.im> So we should have the latest KDE 5 in the KDE live image.
2024-03-14 19:20:04 <@tdawson:fedora.im> I seem to recall gnome getting some updates on CentOS Stream 9 as well ... nothing too dramatic, but I saw some packages go by.
2024-03-14 19:20:58 <@tdawson:fedora.im> So April's images should be a good refresh in many ways.
2024-03-14 19:22:14 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Oh ... we also need to update our images page - https://sigs.centos.org/altimages/images/
2024-03-14 19:23:06 <@tdawson:fedora.im> It's been so long since we put those up, I forgot that we had them.
2024-03-14 19:23:50 <@tdawson:fedora.im> That's all I have planned for this next month.  Does anyone else have anything they are planning on doing?
2024-03-14 19:25:16 <@nhanlon:beeper.com> nope
2024-03-14 19:25:34 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Oh, I forgot to mention that Conan Kudo got kiwi updated in Fedora and epel ... it's now at 10.0.4
2024-03-14 19:26:16 <@rcallicotte:fedora.im> nice
2024-03-14 19:26:20 <@nhanlon:beeper.com> 🥳

2024-03-14 19:27:11 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Does anyone have anything for the Open Floor?
2024-03-14 19:27:51 <@rcallicotte:fedora.im> nothing from me.  
2024-03-14 19:29:02 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Thank ya'll for coming.  It's really nice having progress that we can report.
2024-03-14 19:29:51 <@tdawson:fedora.im> I'll talk to ya'll next month ... that should be April 11.
