Historical content

Phase one: MVP Edition launch (timeframe: July. Before Flock.)

  • Items for IoT team to complete

    • F-30 published on stable ostree repo

      • Currently on “devel” branch — need F30 to be the stable one instead of F29

      • This is something Peter can do, but for F31 this should be integrated into proper QA & Rel-Eng process. Need procedures and to define clear roles.

    • Clean up release process

    • New ostrees and new ISOs

    • Equivalent of two-week Atomic release process, but monthly

    • Initial basic docs for release process

      • So that not everything is just in Peter’s head

    • Update release criterial documentation

    • Automatic updates enabled for F-30 release images

      • This is a change to ostree configuration to match CoreOS

    • Update fedora-release-iot defaults and settings, add greenboot

      • PR from IoT team

      • Package owned by release engineering so CPE team expected to review and integrate PR

      • Review move to standard Fedora keys if ostree key rollover works

    • Review of outstanding tickets for features/fixes

  • Web site(s) updates

    • New content for the IoT page

      • Content from IoT team

      • Design from ??? (will ask OSPO)

      • Integration work into new web system from CPE

      • Parity with existing iot.fedoraproject.org for automatic updates when new images come out with

    • New content for front page presenting the edition

      • Any text from CPE team

      • Design to match existing front page

      • Update to front page from ???

    • Redirect from iot.fedoraproject.org to new getfedora edition page

Phase two: Ideal target, Fedora 31 GA (October)

  • ARMv7 supported images (actually aiming this for phase 1)

  • Container pipeline for supported architectures

    • x86_64, ARMv7, aarch64

    • Current state: just x86_64, so we need ARM

      • Donated aarch64 hardware exists but is being used as koji builders

      • Note hardware was donated for this purpose

        • Possible future: i686

        • This is the big request for CPE

  • IoT Toolbox container

    • X86_64, ARMv7, aarch64

    • This is an IoT team thing

  • A number of containers for IoT demo use cases

    • X86_64, ARMv7, aarch64

    • Also handed by IoT team

  • Publish “devel” image with toolbox container, and “production” image without toolbox

    • This is a rel-eng change, but PT from IoT team, because we’re adding additional deliverables
