I love the 2rpm tools (Makes the packaging experience whole lot easier) 16:14:33 nasirhm to go through the workstation ks file to find changes and discuss them in next week's meeting. 16:15:08 Unfortunately I wasn't able to go through the Workstation ks to find the chages due to some workload. 16:15:15 nasirhm to add to the meeting template to the i3wm docs. 16:15:30 PR up for review: https://pagure.io/i3-sig/docs/pull-request/2 16:15:33 #link https://pagure.io/i3-sig/docs/pull-request/2 16:15:55 #topic Follow up on bcotton's response for the Spin proposal 16:16:09 #link https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/issue/11 16:17:09 x3mboy: Your feedback and suggestions 16:17:50 I think the last feedback was mine 16:18:10 That can be closed, but we need to check both links there 16:18:20 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spins_Process 16:18:38 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spins_Guidelines 16:19:29 x3mboy++ Thank you for working on it 16:19:34 Good to close ? 16:20:05 Sure 16:20:28 Done 16:20:46 #topic Breaking the Kickstart file into different parts to include fedora-base.ks 16:22:24 As defined in the Guidelines, we have to include fedora-live-*.ks in our Kickstart file and hence requires us to finalize the Flattened ks and then break it into different files similar to other spins. 16:24:59 We need to finalize the Flattened Kickstart to break it in different files and initiate the work on the Proposal 16:25:22 #topic Goals for the next respin to move forward with the proposal 16:25:33 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/i3/SpinChangeProposal_Draft 16:26:25 The next respin will be in 2 weeks, do we need anything that needs to be fixed/added/removed in the ks for the next respin ? 16:27:15 where's ben when you need him? 16:27:39 defolos: In the -respins SIG channel :) 16:27:47 I would like to test mousepad 16:27:54 To try it against gedit 16:28:01 x3mboy: Touchpad ? 16:28:08 It looks like a popular choice among i3 users 16:28:21 nasirhm, no, mousepad it's a text editor 16:28:38 x3mboy: Oops, my bad 16:28:58 is it packaged for Fedora ? 16:29:50 that's literally the worst name for a text editor that you can choose… 16:30:13 Yes, it is packaged, and yes, the name is aweful 16:30:35 #info Assessment of Mousepad on i3 and discuss in the next meeting to use it in place of gedit 16:30:36 But it's super minimal, and I was gathering feedback and so much users prefer it over gedit 16:30:40 #link https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mousepad 16:31:27 TBH I don't care, I still use vim, but it's in the recommended packages I got from RH, and tons of i3 users like it 16:31:46 the i3 author still codes in emacs 😛 16:31:55 Including Manjaro i3 community edition and regolith 16:32:07 defolos, in the emacs OS??? 16:32:09 :-P 16:32:20 well, maybe we should go with the flow then? 16:32:46 If it's gtk, it's ok with me 16:32:47 :D 16:33:10 x3mboy: I think feedback from users is a helpful indicator 16:33:14 #action x3mboy to assess mousepad and discuss about it in the next meeting to add it in place of gedit 16:33:26 Cool 16:33:43 jwf, agreed, that's why I'm bringing this up 16:33:45 :D 16:34:11 Hmm, I think we can learn alot of different distros who're doing something similar. 16:34:46 nasirhm, yes, that's why I'm testing both Manjaro and regolith 16:35:04 x3mboy: great idea 👍️ 16:35:17 x3mboy+++++++ 16:35:27 Sounds good to me :) 16:36:03 Anything else anyone would like to add ? 16:36:40 Remember always to look at the following link 16:36:42 #link https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/blob/master/f/Ideas.md 16:36:52 Yes, I have another topic 16:37:01 About the email mattdm sent to all spins 16:38:17 x3mboy: Oh we should get that in the docs site 16:38:27 If someone can open a ticket for me, I could do that... 16:38:44 #link https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/spins@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/FGGSHMI2BWQUD627Y64OIYEVE3DGARNF/ 16:39:01 jwf, a ticket in docs or in our tracker 16:39:03 ?

16:43:28 defolos: It is 16:43:33 I will take care of it. :) 16:43:38 #link https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release/blob/master/f/fedora-release.spec 16:43:42 nasirhm: ++ 16:43:49 We need to ask releng 16:43:54 #action nasirhm to set VARIANT and VARIANT_ID in /etc/os-release 16:44:49 Remember the spec I share 16:44:53 And I need to run again 16:45:09 Bye guys, sorry but I'm having a hard work day 16:45:13 Thank You x3mboy 16:45:43 Good to open floor ?
