Meeting summary

  1. TOPIC:Discussion about a framework for AI/ML app development, and onboarding path for Fedora Infra? (@tflink:fedora.im, 16:33:55)
    1. INFO: 1. Related to the framework, I had this novel use case for building a small prompt project / reusable AI definition for summarizing Fedora meetings. I didn't know where to put this or host it, so I asked to build in our SIG's Forgejo organization. Now, the project is mostly "done" and is being refined. It provides a use case / example of how to build things with AI for reuse in the community. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 16:37:00)

    3. INFO: 2. However, while this works for _me_ (@jflory7), what about others in the community building apps and tools with AI? We do not have a good way to connect these people together, help them collaborate, and share learnings. I wondered if there might be way that the AI/ML SIG might be able to provide some support or guidance to developers who want to integrate their `$THING` into Fedora Infrastructure officially, but the AI use is questionable or possibly costly.

    5. INFO: No formal ticket or proposal yet for the AI/ML app development framework concept. It was pitched and tested out as a concept in this meeting. Overall, feedback is warm but there are some major questions to consider for this to be viable. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:01:11)
    6. ACTION: @jflory7 due:2026-05-07 Create AI/ML SIG ticket and/or draft a proposal for the app development framework for further discussion and review. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:01:46)
    7. AGREED: Hard to discuss details _without_ a proposal right now, but we will revisit and discuss this more in May. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:02:03)
    8. INFO: Open question: Does this need to be tightly coupled to infrastructure? Or could it be more general or basic guidelines for AI/ML-driven development? (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:03:19)
  2. TOPIC:ROCm 7.2.2 update in fedora rawhide, likely EPEL 10.3 target (@tflink:fedora.im, 17:05:22)
    1. INFO: ROCm 7.2.2 was a minor update (@tflink:fedora.im, 17:06:20)
    2. INFO: ROCm 7.2.2 may end up in EPEL 10.3 but a final decision has not yet been made (@tflink:fedora.im, 17:07:04)
    3. INFO: ROCm 8.x is still under development, plans may change as we get closer to release (@tflink:fedora.im, 17:10:40)
    4. INFO: hopefully generics will be coming to Fedora's ROCm packages which will translate into wider HW support and smaller/quicker builds (@tflink:fedora.im, 17:11:15)
  3. TOPIC:open floor (@tflink:fedora.im, 17:13:04)
    1. INFO: xanderlent was not able to make it today, his topics will be bumped to the next meeting (@tflink:fedora.im, 17:13:21)
