video meeting to discuss Matrix/Element and IRC
by Matthew Miller
[I posted to the Fedora Council list, but reposting here for wider
distribution.]
As mentioned, we're looking at moving the Fedora Council's main chat to
Matrix. And as part of that, we're considering a hosted Element server --
which obviously could go quite beyond just #fedora-council. Neal suggested a
video meeting to talk with interested people about this, and so I set up
this when-is-good
http://whenisgood.net/k5brwbd
Anyone interested in a preliminary chat about all of this, please sign up
with your FAS id and availability. Nothing is sent in stone or decided
already, although I must say I'm pretty excited about Element's open source
software-as-a-service offering based on what I've heard from them so far.

Dell XPS 13 9310 Fingerprint Driver
by Ondra Kalousek
Hello. I want to buy myself Dell XPS 13 9310 (2020). The unit will arrive in few weeks, so I used the time to ask this questio. It has a fingerprint sensor Goodix 27c6:533c. But official driver is for Ubuntu and no RPM. There is a post how to install it, but replacing packages' files is very likely to break after update.
Post link: https://aboutcher.co.uk/2020/10/goodix-fingerprint-reader-on-fedora-linux/
It is absolutely unecessary to do write to modules.alias, I think.
That Ubuntu package has a TOD library, which enables to use OEM drivers but there is no TOD for fedora. It would be nice to do TOD libfprint package, which provides libfprint (so no ugly replacements which will disappear after update) and that driver package or make it one package.
If it can be possible, can someone please make good, quality and nice RPM(s), which I have to install and and "at the drop of the hat" run into GNOME Settings and setup fingerprint? It will help me and many XPS 13 users, because according to reviews, this computer is very good for running Linux (not that one I have, which is Ok, but not very good).
Thank you!
