Re: Workstation Working Group Meeting: October 28, 2025

Here is my Gemini-assisted summary for this week's meeting.

Summary

Michael Catanzaro announced the successful release of Fedora 43, 
thanked Matthias Clasen as they transitioned into the new meeting 
chair, and noted the "What's New in Fedora 43" article was already 
published by Gregory Bartholomew. The team agreed to migrate the Fedora 
Workstation repository to forge.fedoraproject.org by submitting an 
infrastructure request to migrate the issue tracker and mclazy repos, 
with documentation to follow. The discussion on Fedora Flatpaks was 
postponed to November 18th to ensure full participation.

Meeting Chair Transition and Fedora 43 Release

Michael Catanzaro announced their transition to the new meeting chair, 
replacing Matthias Clasen, and expressed gratitude for their service. 
The release of Fedora 43 was celebrated, as confirmed by Jens-Ulrik 
Petersen. Michael Catanzaro noted that they had fulfilled a campaign 
promise to prepare meeting agendas.

Fedora 43 What's New Article and Release Party Presentation

Michael Catanzaro stated that Matthias Clasen would not have time to 
write the "What's New in Fedora 43" magazine article, and with no other 
volunteers, they would inform Fedora Magazine there would be no article 
from their team for this cycle. Chris Murphy volunteered to discuss the 
2GB boot change for the release party presentation, and Matthias Clasen 
later volunteered to handle the release party presentation after their 
vacation. Michael Catanzaro eventually noticed that the "What's New" 
article was already published by Gregory Bartholomew, resolving Neal 
Gompa (Conan Kudo)'s immediate concern about a broken link in GNOME 
Software.

Migration of Fedora Workstation Repo to forge.fedoraproject.org

Michael Catanzaro and Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) proposed migrating the 
Fedora Workstation repository to forge.fedoraproject.org to replace the 
current Pagure repo. Michael Catanzaro outlined a proposal for four 
distinct repositories: one for the issue tracker, two for 
documentation, and one for mclazy, which was generally accepted by the 
team. The team agreed to submit an infrastructure request to migrate 
the issue tracker and mclazy repos, with documentation to follow.

Discussion on Flatpaks and Future Meetings

The team decided to defer the discussion on deprioritizing or removing 
Fedora Flatpaks and prioritizing Flatpak software (Issue #463) due to 
it being release day and several members being on vacation in the 
coming weeks. Matthias Clasen announced a Flatpak license cleanup on 
Flathub, which was successfully completed. The discussion on Flatpaks 
was tentatively rescheduled for November 18th to ensure key members 
like Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) could be present.

Suggested next steps

 * Matthias Clasen will volunteer to do the release party presentation 
after returning from vacation.
 * Michael Catanzaro will submit the infrastructure request to migrate 
the Fedora workstation repo to forge.fedoraproject.org if no one 
objects by tomorrow, following the proposal to create four repos for 
the issue tracker, documentation (two repos), and mclazy.
