February Open Forum (Post Connect/FOSDEM/Fedora Strategy)
This is an auto-generated summary of the FRCL call on 2026-02-11:
Brendan Conoboy opened the meeting to identify future discussion topics from the CentOS FOSD and Fedora Strategy Summit, where Scott McCarty proposed an "image mode" initiative, including a specification for converting bootc images to ISOs/disk images, and the need to focus on user and community value, suggesting a dedicated monthly roadmap session spanning Fedora, CentOS Stream, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RE). Davide Cavalca, Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo), and David Duncan discussed the need for better user-facing messaging in Fedora change proposals and a Product Requirements Document (PRD) for the additions process to align community efforts with market problems and shared missions. Jef Spaleta elaborated on a "Fedora sandbox" concept, similar to the CNCF lifecycle but with time-boxed gates and a focus on derisking technology introduction and ensuring community sustainability, which was supported by Brendan Conoboy and Scott McCarty, while Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) expressed concern about its fit for volunteer-driven efforts, and David Duncan emphasized separating vendor from community interests. Justin Wheeler announced that Jef Spaleta will present a summary of the Fedora Strategy Summit at the Fedora Council's February 25th video meeting, and while the feature showcase and roadmap session was voted the most popular next topic, scheduling conflicts mean the next topic will be decided via the "freckle chat" (Matrix).
