18:05:25 <brainycmurf> #topic Fedora Workstation Planning
18:05:27 <brainycmurf> - Report from the Boston planning event
18:05:29 <brainycmurf> What we've been talking about:
18:05:33 <brainycmurf> - Goals, both high level and operational. How to maintain growth.
18:05:35 <brainycmurf> - Role of Silverblue - we like it, but it's hard to justify switching to it as the default workstation offering. That could change in the future though.
18:05:38 <brainycmurf> - Outstanding questions around drivers, system extensions. Lack of support in rpm-ostree - as seen with systemd-resolved. Though we would ideally like to avoid layering packages.
18:05:41 <brainycmurf> - Main obstacle is the change in the user experience - different kind of system.
18:05:43 <brainycmurf> - Alignment and cooperation with CoreOS will be important. Challenge there with CoreOs often operating outside of the Fedora project.
18:05:46 <brainycmurf> - What are the main things we need to do? What are the main obstacles?
18:05:48 <brainycmurf> - ffmpeg - the main source of complaints. Breaks app functionality. Needed for the live streaming initiative. Needed as the interface for other codecs.
18:05:51 <brainycmurf> - Michael: why not Silverblue?
18:05:53 <brainycmurf> - Jens: perennial question of documentation.
18:05:55 <brainycmurf> - Tutorials - how to accomplish common tasks for those migrating from other platforms. Maybe in magazine.
18:05:58 <brainycmurf> - Expand GNOME Tour
18:06:00 <brainycmurf> - Luna: improve the website, less developer more user focused.
