Fedora Activity Day - Fedora Development Cycle wrap up
We've finished up the FAD today. The net result of today's effort is a series of proposals to fix some issues and ultimately make life easier for maintainers and consumers. You can see the announcement here. I'm sure (as the email says) we'll see more chatter about these proposals in the near future.
This is my first time running a FAD. It felt like a hackfest day of FUDCon, only with a very concentrated set of things to work on, and 3 days to do it, which is vastly different from FUDCon hackfests which are usually a wide assortment of things to work on and only a few hours for each thing. I think FUDCon is great for face to face collaboration which can breed ideas and opportunities for more focused smaller group meetings such as a FAD. I hope the project does more as I feel it was a very valuable use of our resources, or can be as we try to move these proposals forward and get feedback. In one month's time I hope that our proposals have made significant progress and we can point to that and show what this FAD really benefited Fedora.
I'm still in Raleigh for the night, I will be meeting with James Laska, Will Woods, and Seth Vidal tomorrow to go over some Auto QA stuff that was off topic for the FAD. Since I'm not on the Fedora Board soon, and didn't run for FESCo, and just got F11 out the door, I have some magical "free time" to pursue things such as Auto QA, which would help a lot of our proposals along. More on that later!
