Hi, We'd like to start a Development SIG with an eye towards making a "Fedora for Developers" spin. The goals for the moment boil down to: * Make Fedora a great development distribution "out of the box" by providing needed tools * Make it easy for developers to target Fedora * Make things easier for Fedora developers themselves We realize these are sort of open ended goals, but we hope to focus on showcasing some of the great tools we have in the distro by making them available and configured, etc. out of the box. There will of course be some editorial control in the cases of multiple tools and avoiding "everything and the kitchen sink" to differentiate from Fedora Everything. Since Eclipse is near and dear to some of our hearts, some lists of Eclipse-specific things we'd like to see done can be found at [1] and [2]. We are especially interested in bringing new developers into the Fedora family. We'd like to have regular IRC meetings on #fedora-meeting on Tuesdays at 18:00-19:00 UTC (2pm-3pm EDT) (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate#IRC) . If the time really sucks for lots of people, we can easily change it. The first meeting will be tomorrow, Tuesday 21 August 2007. The plan is to make the spin inherit from the Desktop spin and add the following (not an exhaustive list): . Eclipse stuff (most likely all of it) . koji . *-devel . systemtap . frysk . toolchain (gcc et al) . emacs . enable debuginfo repository We realize this will put us up to a DVD-sized image but we're cool with that. There is obviously a tonne to work out, but we're looking forward to working with lots of you on this.
