Hello all,

Some of us working on Btrfs in Fedora have decided to start a SIG to foster both better coordination, and also provide an easier way for others in the community to get in touch.

Initial members (sorted by FAS):
- Boris Burkov (borisb)
- Chris Murphy (chrismurphy)
- Davide Cavalca (dcavalca)
- Josef Bacik (josef)
- Neal Gompa (ngompa)
- Omar Sandoval (osandov)
- Michel Lind (salimma)

As you can see from the most recent Fedora changes, we've been defaulting to Btrfs for a substantial proportion of Fedora variants for quite a while - this fall will marks four years of Btrfs as the default desktop filesystem, and three years as the default filesystem on cloud images!

Timeline:
- Fedora 33: Workstation and other desktop variants default to Btrfs https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BtrfsByDefault - Fedora 34: Btrfs transparent compression https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BtrfsTransparentCompression - Fedora 35: Fedora Cloud defaults to Btrfs https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FedoraCloudBtrfsByDefault

We definitely have more Btrfs enablement to pursue in the future - bootable snapshots being one, transparent encryption another (pending it making it into the upstream kernel) - but the proposed SIG intends to get started on more practical items:

- having a Matrix presence (https://matrix.to/#/#btrfs:fedora.im, might also be on fedoraproject.org once we are official)
- having a mailing list and Discourse presence
- having a group in FAS so we can start maintaining packages collectively

There is an existing general Btrfs wiki, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Btrfs - for the SIG we will have a dedicated page as well, but will make sure both link to each other for visibility.


So the SIG will have its own mailing list?

Thanks for all the work!

Phil.
