The Meeting name is 'fedora-server'

Welcome to our weekly Server WG meeting.

As usual, let's wait a moment for everybody to show up.

I'll post the agenda in 2-3 minutes.

I've added one topic I forgot earlier today.

!hello

Emmanuel Seyman (eseyman) - he / him / his

!hi

John Himpel (jwhimpel)

Welcome everybody. We are a small group today.

Korora has already signed off for today. Nirik is lurking as usual.

We have our Quorum, so let's start today.

Anything to add or to remove?

I'm good

I had a minor eye surgery today in the morning. It was not that bad, but I couldn't today what I usually would have. So my orn preparation is a bit sparse today.

Let's start-

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/server-working-group/wg-minutes-2025/

Regarding the action, I'll include the list in our

meetings overview:

No announcements today from me. But a question, who will join Fosdem next week?

Emmanuel, do you plan to visit Fosdem?

I will be at FOSDEM, yes

Great!

Are you booked for the Fedora hotel?

No, I am at the hotel we were at last year

I am booked for the Perl dinner on Saturday night

Good to know. We are planning a Fedora / Fedora Docs meeting Friday evening. I don't know, how much we have announces this.

I hadn't seen that. And we arrive earlier than last year so I should be able to attend

Great. Happy to meet you again in-person! Unfortunately, I and my wife had some health issues the last weeks. So I couldn't do that much, unfortunately.

Well. lets proceed.

Tracking ticket: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/server/tickets/issues/178

In the ticket are the commitments and possible topics we got from the Matrix discussion.

We have to decide, what to do.

There are to items, we agree upon - more or less:

Homeserver spin (me and mowest) and net-install (Emmanuel and korora).

I'm still good for everything that my name is attached to

I'm a bit unhappy about this collection. I would like to have more on the professional side. e.g. backup and improved rescue system.

And backup are you, too.

😉

And what about our Ansible cases?

John Himpel: Are you completely recovered?

I'm good with working on ansible.. Have been out-of-pocket for a while due to medical issues. I am working on wife's "to-do" list for next couple of weeks, then am available.

Great. So we could plan with Ansible in the second part of the year.

Yes!

Emmanuel Seyman: Could you imagine assigning a higher priority to the backup page than to net-boot?

I can make that happen, yes

OK, that gives us some options for the next topic (Flock).

So we agree upon 4 projects: home server spin, backup, net-boot, and Ansibple

proposed !agreed for the upcomming year we will versue 4 projects: home server spin, backup, net-boot, and Ansible/NFS

Objections?

None here

OK, then

I'll create 4 projects in forge and and a description as we discussed it over the last weeks. We can then add details / correctrions / supplements

Any additions / remarks ?

Obviously none. So let's proceed.

FTR, there's a "PXE Boot support" project in our ansible repo

yes, with net-boot I mead PXE. as we discussed, there are 2 parts: the docs / description and Ansible support.

korora wants to contrentrate on docs, and you on Ansible (if I remember correctls)

korora wants to contrentrate on docs, and you on Ansible (if I remember correctly)

that's true

And you wanted to cooperate regarding the Ansible part with John (and with me about Mailservice konfiguration – the docs for me, Ansible support for you). So we have a good start for Ansible, I think.

And a lot to do.

Indeed

Oh, and @at all the lurkers: We welcome any further support 😀 Don't hold back!

Let's move on.

No tracking ticket yet

I think we can present the home server spin. But that alone would give Server the wrong "spin".

The deadline is fast approching

We need at least one professional part, too.

Regarding deadline, yes. But as soon as we know what topic to contribute, I would need half an hour for a CfP.

Regarding deadline, yes. But as soon as we know what topics (!) to contribute, I would need half an hour for a CfP.

Question is: who is planing to joind Flock?. I will be there, for surel.

I will probably be there

Good. I have a lot to do on Flock regarding Fedora Docs. I would hesitate, to make an additional talk about server, if I'm alone.

But bothj of us, we are a proven team 😀

Emmanuel Seyman: How can we increase the probability?

probability of what ?

i think, we would have to decide today.

Next week is quite tight.

Next week is quite tight (but possible).

I was thinking about having a BoF session at Flock

I'm debating the flock thing

kind of want to be there

just don't know yet what to do

Sounds good. At least we could be sure that I'm not standing there alone?

yes :)

Neil, you and me—that would be a surprise 😀, and a good one!

OK, I think we have a good basis and should work on a CfP proposal next week.

Next topic.

I think, a walk through the open issues is useless for the remaining time.

Therefore:

Anything here to speak about?

I don't see anything. Then we could close a little earlier for once instead of staying late.

[bye

jeah, bye bye
