About making life easier for audio producers.
by Diogo Campos
First of all: I understand that the PRD says that Fedora Workstation
focuses on developers, and, I also know about the Fedora Jam-KDE Spin...
That said, the fact is that, right now, in Fedora 21 Workstation, is
simply frustrating to open (for example) Ardour and watch the whole
thing dependent on PulseAudio go mute, and JACK initialize with
(serious?) errors/warnings/misconfigurations(?), like:
[ERROR]: JACK: Cannot use real-time scheduling (RR/15)(1: Operação
não permitida)
[ERROR]: JACK: JackClient::AcquireSelfRealTime error
So, the thing is: there would be a way to make JACK and PulseAudio work
together out-of-the-box in Fedora Workstation 22+?
Of course, I am suggesting this because I really think that an audio
producer (beginner, amateur or professional) isn't interested in
dealing with sound systems, sound servers, packages, config files and
technical documentation just to make their audio tools work (well).
What do you think? There is interest? Is worth the work? Any ideas? Am
I missing something?
(really sorry for English)

Re: Emoji font in default installation?

Sure, this is Google's attempt at encoding colour into fonts, but the
characters themselves are ordinary Unicode characters, so
interoperability between IM participants doesn't seem to be a
particular problem, to me. Emoji look different from phone to phone
and from website to website, but people mostly seem to cope fine with
that.

Let's not get hung up on the fact that the font I suggested happens to
encode colour. I can receive emoji IMs today via Gnome Shell's
notifications.
I guess the questions I'm asking are: are emoji now sufficiently
common that we should include by default a font that can display them?
If yes, what is the most suitable font for that?

IM clients aren't the only use. I use 'em in my prompt for various
status information in a compact form, and I'd really apprecaite color
emojis in the terminal. We could use them in `ls -F` (or an extended
equivalent), too. Someday. :)

Emoji font in default installation?
by Peter Oliver
I got a request at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1049076 suggesting that google-android-emoji-fonts be included in the default Fedora installation.
It seems reasonable to me that we should have a font with emoji coverage in the default Workstation installation, and I don't think there is one at the moment. We have google-noto-color-emoji-fonts in Fedora 22, however, and I'd suggest going with that instead.
Any thoughts?

Re: Call for Fedora 22 Test Days
by M. Edward (Ed) Borasky
I'm at a point in my project cycle where it would be relatively
painless for me to switch my laptop from Fedora 21 Workstation to
Rawhide. That would mean all the abrt and selinux traps I take will
feed into the QA machine, and any bugs I find in the desktop, Docker
and libvirt will get filed. At least that's the case until the F22
branch, right? When is the branch scheduled?
I'd rather not make a separate virtual machine for testing at the
moment; I've got too many Docker things to do to add an F22 machine.
But I can switch my laptop to Rawhide (or F22) without losing much
productivity.
