== Summary ==
=== Upstart Status Update ===
* Casey Dahlin (sadmac2) and Scott James Remnant (Keybuk) gave an update
on the status of Upstart for F10. It was planned that with Upstart 0.5,
Fedora would begin converting large parts of the system to the "upstart
way of doing things". Keybuk pointed out that several very core use
cases, pertaining to the mounting of file systems, instance jobs, etc,
are poorly served by current Upstart. So, until these issues are
resolved upstream, we will hold off on converting to the "upstart way of
doing things".
=== Revert curl change made for flash ===
* After a contentious discussion of whether to use an empty shared
library linked to libcurl.so.4 (proposal #1), or to make a compat
sub-package for libcurl.so.3 (proposal #2), FESCo approved proposal #1.
* Proposal #1: jds2001, Kick_, nirik, bpepple
* Proposal #2: jwb, dgilmore
* Abstain: j-rod
=== Features ===
* FESCo approved the following feature for F10:
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ApplianceTools
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ApplicationInstaller
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Eclipse34
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FirstAidKit
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GNOME2_24
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Sugar
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PythonNSS
* FESCo held off on approving the 30 Second Startup(1) feature, since
they had some questions regarding it.

Note that upstream does not agree that the ABI for libcurl.so.3 and
libcurl.so.4 are the same:

I just noticed and read this a little closer... and looked a the meeting
minutes which were... sparse.
This feature involves Fedora actually producing and distributing
something we've never done before, a tarred image for use in a virtual
machine. That's not your typical "spin" which is an iso format to be
consumed by booting it on hardware, real or fake. Was any thought or
discussion at all put into the implications of this? Was releng
consulted about our ability to produce/test this during development
cycles, particularly Beta? Do we have any thought as to how this would
be advertised to users, and any documentation about how to use it as
well?
Could FESCo maybe take another gander at this feature page and comment
on some of the above issues?

I messed up here I missed "Requires hosting a
binary image on
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/" from what I remembered it was providing tools
to create appliances. not us actually providing appliance images. since
appliances are specialised configured things its really hard to provide a
single appliance. I personally have no issue with hosting appliance
kickstart files. but i think we need to review hosting a binary appliance
image

Dennis:
In this case the "appliance" is a running system with the bare number of
packages. It is just delivered as a raw disk as opposed to an ISO.
Again, I will make sure to be online for the meeting so we can discuss.

I can not speak to all the questions, but I know that Josh Broyler was
there during the meeting but to be fair we did not discuss that it was a
different type of spin. We would be happy to provide the documentaion
around how to use it. The tooling which would be used (based on
livecd-tools) went through a round of testing the last fedora test day.

I will plan on being online for the FESCO meeting to
discuss as necessary.
