20:58:06 <brainycmurf> #topic Drop Flathub filtering
20:58:08 <brainycmurf> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/300
20:58:10 <brainycmurf> - Lots of questions - e.g.
20:58:12 <brainycmurf> - do we want to default install ahead of Fedora packaging
20:58:14 <brainycmurf> - do we think the quality of Flatpaks on Flathub is high enough without a whitelisting process
20:58:17 <brainycmurf> - etc.
20:58:19 <brainycmurf> - Will resume in a later meeting when Matthias is present
20:58:21 <brainycmurf> #topic Preinstall apps as Flatpaks
20:58:23 <brainycmurf> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/269
20:58:27 <brainycmurf> - Mostly have the apps we need
20:58:29 <brainycmurf> - Some functionality gaps (especially Firefox)
20:58:31 <brainycmurf> - Anaconda support is a big item
20:58:33 <brainycmurf> - Owen will try to write this all down in the ticket, and perhaps hand off some of the work
20:58:35 <brainycmurf> #topic Add VS Code and MS Edge to the 3rd party repos
20:58:37 <brainycmurf> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/283
20:58:39 <brainycmurf> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/291
20:58:41 <brainycmurf> - Microsoft uses Pulp to publish repositories - doesn't currently support appstream data
20:58:43 <brainycmurf> - Would be easiest if this was part of pulp (via createrepo_c https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/issues/75)
20:58:46 <brainycmurf> - Might be possible to copy the metadata into the fedora appstream packaging if it's redistributible, but we really don't like that functionility
20:58:49 <brainycmurf> - Tomas will send some introductory mails to the team maintaining createrepo_c
20:58:51 <brainycmurf> #topic Backlog topics:
20:58:53 <brainycmurf> #info The Workstation Working Group is a bottleneck
20:58:57 <brainycmurf> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/218
20:58:59 <brainycmurf> - Not clear that the ticket has concrete actions, but discussion about communication channels:
20:59:01 <brainycmurf> - Discussion of chat channels: workstation matrix room (bridged to IRC) vs. #fedora-desktop on GIMPnet. Should we have user help on the workstation channel rather than #fedora?
20:59:04 <brainycmurf> - People generally thought merging the #fedora-desktop / workstation matrix rooms was a reasonable step
20:59:07 <brainycmurf> #info Workstation user and contributor community on discussion.fedoraproject.org
20:59:09 <brainycmurf> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/223
20:59:11 <brainycmurf> - People not particularly happy with the current organization on discussion.fedoraproject.org - almost impossible to find desktop/workstation discussion with the new organization.
20:59:14 <brainycmurf> #info Consolidate and advertise Workstation chat channels
