Agenda

Minutes

• Goals for the next 6 months
  • Do we agree on the goals?
    • Clarify status of Fedora 3.x
      • Fedora 3 line will be done after 3.8
      • No more releases except for security patches
      • Can’t impact release of Fedora 4 - people will not want to migrate if 4 is not better
      • Fedora 3 shouldn’t cloud Fedora 4 communication
  • Release Fedora 4.0 this year
    • When announcing Fedora 3 EOL also announce status of green field Fedora 4.0
  • Ensure Fedora 4 provides foundation for community technical needs
    • Put in place infrastructure for continual validation/checking of Fedora 4 as it develops
  • Increase developer and user community
• Push for 4.0 acceptance testing and beta pilots
  • Need acceptance testing and beta pilots to get to 4.0
  • Andrew created a page with a punch list of acceptance tests and templates for doing the tests
  • Ideally the people who test the features are not the same people who wrote the code
  • The July-December sprints should be fed by community feedback
  • Which tests are most important for getting Fedora 4.0 to production?
  • Yale: Could do some heavy security tests on Fedora 4.0 beta
  • Andrew: We’d like to do a bi-weekly status update email. Number of tests done, number of beta pilots, etc.
• Finalize TWG charter and create WG
  • Charter has been agreed upon and will be finalized
  • A non-draft version will be created
  • Members have been tentatively nominated and will be formalized when the official charter is created

    • Nominations: Declan F, Neil J, Esmé C, Zhiwu X, Ben A, Chris B, Adam S

• Discuss Fedora 4 training
  • Need an effective way to engage the user community
  • An intensive RiRi-like camp would be effective
  • Need to train developers to deploy and contribute back
  • Can be revenue-neutral or even cash flow positive
  • Travel could be a problem
  • Who wants to help implement this program?
  • Should we divert funds to support this program?
  • DC FUG and eResearch Australasia might be good pilots
  • Need a framework for capturing training modules as they are developed
  • Need to start in 2014, work out the kinks to be ready for 2015
  • Should migration be a topic?
    • Introducing mapping concepts from F3 to F4
    • Opportunities in F4 for upgrading content models, etc.
• Increasing Developers
  • Need more developers to get to 4.0
  • There will likely be a push at the end of the year
