Matthew,

If this is not already on the agenda, I will bring this up at the IoT Working Group meeting tomorrow (2020-11-11 from 14:00:00 to 15:00:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting).

Just for reference, at the current time, we have the following page in the IoT docs [0] that discusses "Reference Platforms". At the same time, we also have this page [1] in the ARM docs that lists "Supported Hardware and Devices", and this page [2] that lists "Fedora ARM Supported Platforms". I'm bringing this up if only so we can consolidate terms across our docs (as far as what we will call this list of "key devices") and to perhaps have a starting point of hardware that has been "supported" in the past/is currently "supported" [3].

If we plan to have the Jetson Nano supported in IoT, I am also +1 to that being one of the distributed platforms.

In the meeting right after the F33 release, we talked about identifying a handful of key devices and making sure anyone with a serious interest in testing or enablement work has what they need. I've talked with Marie, and while we're not overflowing with cash, Fedora does have unspent budget which would normally have gone to travel sponsorships and this seems to be a reasonable thing to use some of it on. IoT is a Fedora Edition, after all, and worth investing in.

At that meeting, we talked about y'all coming up with a list of specific hardware we can order for people. Because reimbursements are a mess right now for unrelated reasons, it's easiest when it's something Marie can actually go to a web store, click some buttons, and have shipped direct. Can y'all (IoT WG and ARM SIG) come up with a formal list with prices and URLs? (Also, if other things like microsd cards need to be included?)

Of course, once we have a list of hardware, I'd also like to send it to people. I know there's some worry about people volunteering, getting stuff, and not actually doing anything. We want to make sure the devices are going to people who will actually be able to make use of them. But I also don't want that to be a blocker, so, if you're new but serious I am willing to consider including you too. (Perhaps with the promise that if your best intentions don't work out, you find someone else to pass the hardware on to.)

Rather than people emailing me at random, which is easy for me to drop, can the WG and/or SIG come up with a list of people? I'm thinking something like a dozen people and 1-3 devices each depending on commitment level.
