Looking forward to the proposal :) 14:19:08 so am I :) 14:19:12 heh 14:19:17 okay, let's move to modularity? 14:19:28 all good from my side 14:19:30 unless anyone else has questions or comments? 14:20:23 ok :) 14:20:30 #topic Modularity Objective Update 14:20:36 what news, langdon? 14:20:42 ooh I have one :) 14:20:52 #info F29 beta launched with Modularity enabled everywhere! 14:20:53 shoot 14:20:56 ha! 14:21:05 well.. we have some dnf bugs that are blocking that 14:21:14 #info DNF still reallllly rocky 14:21:17 but.. we hope there will be fixes 14:21:48 yeah, I note three separate big DNF issues on 14:21:50 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F29_bugs 14:22:13 1616167 is the yucky one though 14:22:28 whats the zodbot trick? put a period in front? 14:22:38 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1616167 14:22:43 dunno. there's a link :) 14:22:54 .1616167 14:22:59 me either 14:23:15 we are also trying to reboot the modularity wg to make it easier for casual contributors to participate.. may take us a month or two though 14:23:28 langdon: that sounds good. 14:23:40 So, I went through the current process of making a module. 14:23:43 It was fine. 14:23:44 one big part is a move to taiga.io for actions.. and some more regular meetings in jit.si 14:23:55 fedmod is really coming along too 14:24:07 with tools to generate modulemd w/ extra packages as well.. 14:24:10 * pbrobinson is more here 14:24:14 also including a linter for modules 14:24:21 langdon: we are looking at hosted taiga for fedora in general 14:24:41 #info fedmod is more and more capable with helping your module creation and maintainance tasks 14:24:57 #link https://pagure.io/modularity/fedmod 14:25:39 mattdm: yeah.. heard that.. i think it is a good idea.. and I would really like to see some collab there.. i think integrations with fedora-infra would be beneficial to tiaga 14:25:52 we can also give them feedback from a large, public use case.. 14:26:11 so i really hope we establish a relationship with the devs.. not just treat it as a hoster 14:26:26 yeah. we had a meeting with someone from the company behind it and they seem really awesome. very open source friendly 14:26:33 and open source :) 14:26:43 thats about all i had unless people have qs 14:27:31 I have a request. :) I'd like the "freshmaker" thing to get additional priority. Right now, it's really kind of hard to sell the benefit of switching to modules for many packagers 14:27:41 especially the ones that basically just update into rawhide 14:27:52 and *maybe* sometimes into latest release 14:28:10 having builds not even be a step would really help 14:28:27 mattdm: yeah.. im with you.. the team behind it is just so swamped.. i wonder if we can figure out how to give them more help 14:28:53 that team = threebean and factory? 14:28:58 mattdm: yeah.. 14:29:04 I'll see what I can do 14:29:51 okay, next topic. pbrobinson, you're up :) 14:29:58 #topic IoT Objective Update 14:30:12 yay 14:30:16 * pbrobinson runs 14:30:19 lol 14:30:25 so we're going OK 14:30:53 we approved the IoT PRD at today's meeting 14:30:57 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/InternetOfThings/PRD 14:30:57 NICE 14:31:17 still some tweaks needed, feedback is very welcome 14:31:38 cool. do you think it's ready to file with council as proposed edition for f30? 14:31:55 yes, I think we are 14:32:07 cool. file ticket whenever you're ready 14:32:14 the F-29 base release is looking OK and is quite usuable 14:32:29 I know there was (to put it lightly) some stress with the web site 14:32:44 hopefully that's in a better place now? 14:32:48 once we get multi arch containers I will move a bunch of the included bits to a IoT toolbox container 14:32:58 bcotton is, aiui, organizing some followup 14:33:13 I think we're getting there, I think we should be in a good place next week 14:33:20 #link ~https://iot.stg.fedoraproject.org/ 14:33:22 mattdm is correct 14:33:25 #undo 14:33:25 Removing item from minutes: 14:33:29 #link https://iot.stg.fedoraproject.org/ 14:34:11 * mattdm looks 14:35:03 pbrobinson: is that iso an installer, or a ready-to-run image? 14:35:20 and why does it have dvd in the title? 14:35:23 mattdm: the primary deliverable atm is the ready-to-run image 14:35:25 what's a dvd? :-P 14:35:34 its like a cd 14:35:37 we will have the iso there as a "other" link 14:36:09 mattdm: there was an misunderstanding, we're going to sort it out in the next edit 14:36:18 I'd like this page to have at least a link to docs explaining what to do with an image once downloaded 14:36:34 mattdm: completely 14:36:54 I want to spend quite a bit of time on this probably next week so we can get stuff nailed down 14:37:26 pbrobinson: do those docs exist? seems like something where someone new with an interest could plug into the group 14:37:51 it'll basically be a "tech preview" and would like to see something to that effect on this page because I expect it to get reasonable coverage and I want that to be clear 14:38:13 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/InternetOfThings/GettingStarted 14:38:46 #help Update https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/InternetOfThings/GettingStarted to use new docs system 14:38:48 :) 14:39:10 is that ready to be moved? 14:39:17 mattdm: yes please, I would love to move most of the IoT stuff to a help sub section and route all wiki bits there 14:39:21 because it could be done sooner that pbrobinson expects 14:39:34 heh, like RIGHT NOW? 14:39:39 possibly :P 14:39:43 bexelbie: I am very welcome to that if people can assist 14:39:46 but really I have meetings today 14:40:04 pbrobinson, can you open a ticket in the docs-fp-o repo and tag me on it ... that'll keep it in my queue and let us also put an easyfix on it 14:40:04 bexelbie: got cycles tomorrow morning to discuss? 14:40:17 OK 14:40:22 pbrobinson, yes to tomorrow morning 14:40:31 we may also want to alert asamalik but I don't expect him to do it 14:40:32 I feel like we're helping!
