Elevating Fedora Server VM distribution image
by Peter Boy
Currently, our VM distribution image is not a fully-fledged distribution medium like our iso media. It is merely a "nice to have“.
This means, for example, that even a serious bug cannot become a "release blocker", as an iso file could. Fedora then launches a new release with a (on purpose) faulty Server VM image. This is already the case with release 40. Our VM image still contains the LVM error, which happens to be not immediately noticeable in a standard VM creation. And for the SBC image, the error will be corrected, although we do not currently know how.
This no longer fits into today's world, where virtual machines are a common working model. To rectify this, we need to achieve a corresponding qualification with FESCo.
We need to appoint someone to initiate and oversee this process.

A greeting message
by Alex Ignatov
Hello everyone! Perhaps someone remembers how I cut in at the end of
the last meeting of the server working group and promised to introduce
myself properly in the mailing list. Well, here it is.
My name is Alex Ignatov and I am a telecommunication engineer from
Russia. For many years now I have been actively using open source
software both at work and at home, but I have always wanted to make my
own contribution to this. Previously, I was just looking for projects
on github, but now I decided to try to become a part of the Fedora
community.
I’ve been studying programming since college started with Basic and
Pascal. After that Assembler, C++ and php in University. In my
engineering career it is Golang. But despite all of the above I’ve
never worked as a programmer, just write some usefull code at work or
at my home projects. My usual working routine is administrating Linux
servers, and writing technical docs. Also I have master’s degree thesis
on cloud computing (but I don’t think it will be handy in any way). So
I hope some of my skills will be usefull here or in any other Fedora
working group.
I’m ready to spend couple of evenings weekly so please give me the
direction where can I start. And I’m sorry if this is a wrong mailing
list for this kind of messages.
1 week, 5 days
