TOPIC:Packaging updates (@tflink:fedora.im, 16:35:11)

INFO: ollama 0.30.x update is not likely to happen prior to F45 branch (@tflink:fedora.im, 16:37:13)
INFO: help to diversify the supported llama-cpp backends would be appreciated (both packaging and testing) (@tflink:fedora.im, 16:40:50)

TOPIC:Action plan for `gpu01` and setting precedent/intention (@tflink:fedora.im, 16:53:30)

INFO: Context shared about the long-arc of AMD members of the SIG facilitating the donation of AMD hardware into Fedora data centers. This is an awesome collaboration, but it has come with a lot of bureaucratic pain points. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:09:59)
HALP: There is frustration and some burnout over this topic, because it feels like it is difficult to get things done. More time needs to be spent on how to make collaborations like this easier and less painful. Some of this involves Red Hat and AMD specifically, and is less relevant for the SIG. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:10:40)
INFO: There is sufficient scope for this SIG to be the delegated authority for the intended allocation and use of this hardware, as it is racked into our infrastructure. Documenting what exists and was donated successfully, racked or not, will help shape community conversations around the use of this hardware, while also ensuring that obligatory requirements for the donations are met (i.e., particularly around automated testing). (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:11:44)
INFO: @jflory7 will open a ticket in `ai-ml/tickets` to organize a discussion, together with some of the other docs-related work (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:12:05)
ACTION: @jflory7 Open a new `ai-ml/tickets` issue to propose a new "Hardware" module for the docs site, which documents the hardware strategically made available by members of this SIG for Fedora Infra. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:12:54)

LINK: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/ai-ml/skills-library (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:13:55)
LINK: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/ai-ml/skills-library/pulls/8 (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:14:05)
LINK: https://agentskills.io/specification (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:17:33)
INFO: There is growing interest in the topic of "AI skills." One of the cool things we have started to do is curate a library of skills following the Agent Skills specification, to create guided skills for AI agents from any LLM/model that can be collaborated on, improved, and shared with other Fedora community contributors. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:21:36)
HALP: @jflory7 wants to start a "sub-team" in the SIG of "Skills Reviewers," who would be responsible for helping to create, review, and curate AI skills in the skills library repo. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:22:08)
HALP: @jflory7 really wants to know whether the idea of installing an AI skills git submodule in an existing git repo for another project is a sensible approach, or if this is bad for unknown reasons. See `ai-ml/skills-library#3` for details. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:22:58)
INFO: @cverna is likely on board for this, given recent engagement and conversations. But we want to grow this group larger! Available for questions in #ai-ml:fedoraproject.org, just tag @jflory7:fedora.im and Clément Verna. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 17:23:44)

Meeting ended at 17:31:43 UTC

@jflory7 Open a new `ai-ml/tickets` issue to propose a new "Hardware" module for the docs site, which documents the hardware strategically made available by members of this SIG for Fedora Infra.
