16:09:36 <brainycmurf> Last time we identified a few options, but didn't get far with them.
16:09:38 <brainycmurf> There's a relevant commit from Neal: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mesa/c/ae25160064635a44d58bfe6027c3bc7add7c7289?branch=rawhide
16:09:41 <brainycmurf> #agreed defer to next week, when Neal will be here
16:09:43 <brainycmurf> #actions Michael to check in with the graphics team, Neal.
16:09:45 <brainycmurf> #topic low-memory-monitor is archived

16:09:49 <brainycmurf> PPD was mostly dealt with, but LLM is still archived. There doesn't seem to be much interest in maintaining it. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems, but it's not great to be using a component that doesn't have an operational repo.
16:09:53 <brainycmurf> There is a future plan to implement something similar in GLib. The scope of the GLib feature is different from LLM - the systemd service only applies to systemd services.

16:09:59 <brainycmurf> #topic Announcements and status updates
16:10:01 <brainycmurf> GNOME 45 beta freeze is 10 February
16:10:03 <brainycmurf> Fractional scaling
16:10:07 <brainycmurf> Some work has been happening to get the WIP branch (KDE style scaling) ready. It's still unclear whether it will be good enough to include in GNOME 46.
16:10:10 <brainycmurf> Owen will be looking over the code this week. It's still unclear which maintainer would review the branch - he will ask around.
16:10:13 <brainycmurf> We could try and get the switch into Settings ahead of the UI freeze and potentially back it out if the code prooves to be buggy. However, there will need to be something in Mutter to hook the setting up to.
16:10:16 <brainycmurf> The first step is to get an MR going for Mutter so we know what code we're discussing.
16:10:18 <brainycmurf> Initial setup shell session - for Anaconda
16:10:20 <brainycmurf> Michael rebased the patch set and made some small changes.
16:10:22 <brainycmurf> The important work depends on gnome-desktop changes which have not landed. More work than is feasible.
16:10:25 <brainycmurf> It seems that we don't have the ability to test the web installer running in the initial setup session, and GNOME UI freeze is nearly here.
