Last week's agenda had some items on it that weren't discussed due to time constraints. [1]
Among those are two standouts: * Explore opportunities for cooperation with Cloud WG / SIG AND Facilitated and improved support for using Base Cloud Images * Revisiting defaults... filesystem/partitioning
Two meetings ago [2] Server WG discussed default filesystem/partitioning briefly with the idea of consider Btrfs at some point, but not for Fedora 35. Whereas it was floated for Cloud and there were no objections. Since that meeting a change proposal has landed to make Btrfs the default for Cloud [3]. The question has been raised by Peter Boy in that proposal's devel@ thread that the proposal itself is out of order. [4] Since it is a Server working group member concerned about the proper order of things, I think that needs to be settled by Server working group folks.
And also I suggest that Server and Cloud folks need to have direct talks about the cooperation and alignment questions.
My recollection from old prior conversations is that merging the SIGs is something that's been said once or twice, but not discussed or agreed to. It suggests to me possibly cooperation is useful, but low interest on a formal merging. They have been since day one, and since then, treated as rather different products. In particular the artifacts produced.
Anyway, in case there are questions among the Server working group as it relates to either the relationship between Server and Cloud folks, or artifacts, or filesystem/partitioning things - it would be best to get that aired out thoroughly sooner than later. And if there are no concerns or impediments, to communicate that equally clearly.
