Meeting summary

1. Introductions, Welcomes (mattdm, 14:00:08)
   
2. Today's Agenda (mattdm, 14:04:26)
   
3. Fedora CoreOS launch update (mattdm, 14:07:00)
   1. Fedora CoreOS is intended as a minimal-ish operating system for running containers. We don't expect that users will run things in the host, except for e.g. services to interface with hardware (mattdm, 14:09:07)
   2. We're building Fedora CoreOS to work as an immutable host: you provision a node once and then leave it alone. (bgilbert, 14:10:10)
   3. Fedora CoreOS is provisioned via Ignition. We're shipping support for the new Ignition config spec 3.0.0. (bgilbert, 14:11:52)
   4. Ignition allows users to provide a declarative configuration to a node: it should have X file, Y systemd service, Z partition and filesystem. (bgilbert, 14:12:32)
   5. Fedora CoreOS updates itself automatically. We expect that users won't have to think about OS versions. (bgilbert, 14:13:59)
   6. Fedora CoreOS will have multiple channels: "stable", "testing", "next". Most production nodes will run on stable, but we want users to run a small % of nodes on testing and next. (bgilbert, 14:15:18)
   7. Updates will go to "testing" first, allowing users some time to tell us about regressions before they promote to stable. (bgilbert, 14:16:09)
   8. "next" is for providing a longer soak period before new Fedora major versions promote to "testing" and "stable". (bgilbert, 14:16:31)
   9. Fedora CoreOS will support bare metal, popular VM systems, plus a number of the major clouds. (bgilbert, 14:17:16)
   10. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CoreOS/PRD (bexelbie, 14:23:20)
   11. Planning to ship a Fedora CoreOS preview release next month. the goal is to get users to start kicking the tires. (bcotton, 14:26:15)
   12. Fedora CoreOS stable release ~6 months after that (bgilbert, 14:29:28)
   13. The preview release will not be feature-complete; additional functionality and more cloud support will come during the preview period. (bgilbert, 14:30:03)
