= System Wide Change: Modular Server Preview = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Modular_Server_Preview Change owner(s): * Langdon White <langdon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> As we progress down the modularity path, we finally have enough content, architecture and understanding that we would like to release an edition of Fedora that is actually usable. However, as we aren't ready for production yet, we would like to do a "preview" release so that people can see it and try it but it doesn't actually take the place of a production edition. As such this Change Proposal requests that we set up a "Modular Server Edition" with some sort of flag that indicates that it is meant for experimentation and not real use. We plan to model the Server Edition in content and most use scenarios. == Detailed Description == The modularity effort is fairly well known and significantly more information may be found on the wiki or the YouTube Channel. In short, modularity is attempting to disconnect the lifecycle of applications from 1) each other 2) the operating system while still maintaining the ease of use of a typical Linux Distro. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** The Modularity WG, Factory 2.0, Base Runtime, and Server WG teams all have contributions to this effort. The work that each team is doing is significant and wide ranging. However, as the release is being managed in a "preview channel" none of the changes, whether released on time or not, will impact any other aspect of Fedora. Also, while we have high hopes for the amount of content we plan to release, even a small percentage of that content being ready will be enough to help prove the concept and generate feedback. * Other developers: ** A limited number of Fedora Packagers will help to provide modules and containers for this release of Modular Server. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ModuleBuildService for more details. * Release engineering: ** List of deliverables: Numerous but largely aligned with the Server WG Logic Model ( https://kolinahr.fedorainfracloud.org/edit/57ff81347b76717eefcbc44b ) ** Release engineering needs to create and deliver this new "edition." The Factory 2 team is largely responsible. Ralph|Threebean has been the primary point of contact thus far. ** A preview edition delivering the Modular Server * Policies and guidelines: ** New guidelines are required, they are currently in Draft state and we will be collecting feedback to them during the F26 lifecycle for ratification prior to F27. *** https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Packaging_Guidelines_for_Modules *** https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Container:Guidelines ** At this point there are no changes expected to existing guidelines * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) ** This is based on a Fedora Objective and, as a result, does not seem to require Trademark approval even though it will carry the Trademark. -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
