Especially now that Fedora is using Kerberos for authentication, I'd really love to see Fedora Account System in GOA. Is anyone interested in working on this?

Hi
As we are advancing toward to Fedora Hubs, and more great services are appearing in Fedora infra, I really wonder why don't we have more accessible services in Gnome Online Accounts, and how can I add more Fedora infra access points, and fetch data to my gnome shell, and/or use services.
When I think to my FAS registration, and subscriptions - would be awesome to manage my fedora feed subscriptions from my gnome control center, through gnome online accounts.
Same would be awesome to Fedora hosted git projects (pagure), fetching dates, meetings, and events to be populated on my Gnome shell desktop - similarly as adding a google account in online accounts - gives to me access to calendar, photos, documents, files. If I would be able to use an SSO service for Fedora infra services, and get messages, and data to desktop - that would be more effective to turn people to developers, as we message it always to our users.
I know that many coders are doesn't care about desktop integration, but having this option IMHO would be beneficial to everyone in the community. I also noticed, that many people doesn't want deeply integrated services (because everything is in browser)... But what are you think? How do you see this? Every user can be potential developer, but do we only target the web with HUBs?
Thanks,
Zoltan

I think we should start from clients/users of the credentials. Do we have anything in the desktop that can already use FAS credentials in GOA? What would be the ideal state, what would we like to add?
I think right now it can only be used for network services as kerberos enterprise login, e.g. in Firefox. I'm not sure if we need an extra account type for it, people can just log in using the enterprise login.
I'd love to see FAS more integrated into the Fedora desktop, but first we need something that will use it.

Agreed, this starts from the user side, not the plumbing, as a requirement.
That being said, what about long term plans for e.g. flatpak or container building on Fedora or COPR buildsystems?

Yes — when logged in, you can connect to Fedora services via Firefox without having to enter a password.
And, this works for command-line koji builds and bodhi submissions, too.
We don't currently have desktop integration with Fedocal, but that's an obvious one that would be *awesome* and can't as far as I know be easily accomplished with enterprise logins. We could possibly also use information from FAS for contacts.

Why not make it easy and pretty?
