Hi, I was asked to start this in today's Server meeting. The genesis for me was, I have more questions than answers and I'm fairly convinced I'm not the only person who's kinda shrugging not knowing what all the questions even are. Answers are important too, but good questions to properly explore scope and liabilities have to come first.
Cloud WG folks had decided a while ago to focus on Atomic Host, and sounds like now they only want to do that, and form a new Atomic WG. [1][2] I see 8 base images for Cloud that aren't rpm-ostree based. Are they in need of a new home? Who's using them? Are they all needed? Does it make sense for Server WG to produce the non-Atomic Cloud deliverable images? At the last Cloud meeting, it was floated whether some Cloud people should move over to Server, or vice versa. Should there be an Atomic/Container WG? i.e. a fourth product deliverable? Being contrary, I wondered about consolidation as a solution rather than adding another WG and product. [3] Does anyone see Cloud WG, or Server WG as spread too thinly? What estimate do you have for overlap in work between Cloud and Server? Is there an economy of scale by combining them? And is it both useful and practical to have subgroups within a WG, to split out the sub variants of Server: hardware, cloud, atomic host? Server and Workstation WGs have expressed interest in moving to rpm-ostree based deployments also. So I'm confused by what an Atomic WG would produce that's unique. There are huge differences between conventional and rpm-ostree deployments. Does it make sense for an Atomic WG to have no outputs? And instead is liason with Server and Workstation WGs, QA, Docs, releng, and others, to help in the transition to this new way of delivering and maintaining Fedora? It might be that the Cloud and Server PRD refreshes help sort some of this stuff out too. OK I have more questions but this is long enough. I'm certain others can ask better questions, or versions of these ones, and in particular the questions I haven't asked.
