Fedora Workstation Working Group Meeting 2025-10-14 (Gemini-assisted Summary)

Details

GDM Configuration Fix

Matthias Clasen reported that the upstream issue with GDM storing its 
configuration in a different location has been fixed by Adrian, which 
should resolve the problem once the fix is merged into Fedora 43. 
Michael Catanzaro noted that a GDM update is available in rawhide, but 
not yet for Fedora 43, though Tomáš Popela confirmed a GDM build from 
yesterday for Fedora 43.

GNOME 49.1 Update

Matthias Clasen sought an update on GNOME 49.1 for Fedora 43 and 
whether it would be a freeze exception. Michael Catanzaro indicated 
that Kamil suggested it could be applied as a freeze exception, but a 
freeze exception does not exist yet. Tomáš Popela mentioned that Petr 
was manually building packages due to mclazy failures, indicating some 
packages were updated, but the extent of updates for 49.1 remains 
uncertain. Matthias Clasen plans to follow up with Petr and David on 
Matrix to confirm the status and ensure the GDM update is included.

Marketing Material

Matthias Clasen stated that fleshing out marketing material from the 
PGO issue is on their agenda for later in the week and welcomed 
assistance.

Kalev Outreach

Matthias also confirmed sending an email to Khalev regarding GNOME 
packages, a follow-up action from the previous week, and is awaiting a 
response.

Suggested next steps

 - Matthias Clasen will try to come up with marketing material for the 
PGO issue later this week and wait for a reaction to the email he sent 
to Kalev about GNOME packages.
 - Matthias Clasen will ping Carlos about bug 2399599 related to touch 
and the quick menu.
 - Matthias Clasen will pick up the GNOME 49.1 update discussion on 
Matrix
 - Matthias Clasen will ping Petr and David about including the GDM 
update for Fedora 43 regardless of the 49.1 update.
