Describe the design of the regular Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL feature showcase.
This is an auto-generated summary of the FRCL call on 2026-02-25:
Brendan Conoboy and Scott McCarty initiated a discussion on unifying the perception and strategic goals of Fedora, CentOS, and Arel, with Scott McCarty presenting draft slides that framed the mission around solving overarching common problems. Key candidate "market problems" identified by Scott McCarty included the need for a tiered system to communicate technology maturity across the three distributions, the lack of clarity regarding the contribution journey for work, and the low engagement with beta releases, particularly in RE. Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo), Pat Riehecky, Jef Spaleta, and Yaakov Selkowitz provided input on aligning problem framing, contribution flow mechanisms, and the potential utilization of ELN as a continuous integration point for hyperscale needs. The participants committed to using Jef Spaleta's "sandbox proposal" as the first concrete solution discussion next week, and Scott McCarty emphasized that the most crucial next step is forming cross-project working groups, including representatives like Amy Marrich, from RE, Fedora, and CentOS, to refine market problems and propose solutions.

![Research Days 2022: Caching Heterogeneous Stuff in Heterogeneous Places
Caching is a classic optimization technique ubiquitous both within single hosts as well as in large distributed systems like CDNs, storage systems, databases, and data center networks. Classic solutions usually involve the omnipresent Least-Recently-Used (LRU) mechanism and its derivatives. These solutions are usually workload oblivious, and changing their configuration requires expert analysis of the system and the workload.
Recent advanced caching approaches that go well beyond LRU, which are gaining popularity, are self-adjusting and exhibit improved performance in various scenarios. We are harnessing some of the underlying design concepts to present novel caching frameworks that we are currently working on. These frameworks take into account request heterogeneity, and perform proactive caching decisions (a.k.a. speculative prefetching). We will be highlighting the design of algorithms and policies that are both dynamic and self-adjusting and consider their benefits in prominent storage system use cases.
