Fedora Objective: Fedora Modularization — The Release

[Langdon White <langdon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wanted to share with you that the Fedora Council has approved[0] the latest installment of the Modularity Objective during today's meeting. The new Objective is "Fedora Modularization — The Release[1]" and the first "implementation vehicle" is captured in the F28 Addon Modularity Change[2].

As you may have heard, we tried to release the F27 Server Edition as a "Modular Distribution" but we ran in to some pretty severe problems. As a result, we have rethought the approach to be even less invasive and allow for a simpler, phased approach to adoption. If you would like to read more about the new architecture and why we think it will succeed, see Stephen Gallagher excellent blog post[3]. He and I will also be presenting on the topic at two sessions[4][5] on DevConf.  Adam Samalik & I will be presenting at FOSDEM[6]. Finally, I will also be presenting at SCALE 16x[7].

Please let us know if you have questions or comments here or in #fedora-modularity.
