It's definitely the step to the right direction. I'm one of the people behind source-git. At the moment we are in a phase where we are trying to figure out our goals and milestones. Our team will get together and make a plan around devconf. We'll then announce it to Fedora to get the discussion going (feedback is very important). The topics we are talking about are: * Packaging automation (as Dennis pointed out -- automate tedious tasks) * Rawhide gating and increasing its stability * Getting upstream projects closer to downstream * Easier packaging * On-demand side tags (what Richard mentioned) * More convenient packager experience * And plenty of others, this is just off top of my head We'll likely won't address all. So it's important for all of us to be on the same page and work together so we don't step on each other's toes and there are clear expectations between each other. Matt, thanks for the pointers, I'm not on this list actually so I'm glad you made me aware.
