2. Positive Brand Strong User and Developer Community 10 Successful Years F20 Release Well Received Fedora is Awesome
3. Meanwhile, out in the world... 10 million repos on GitHub Base OS considered boring Distro effort/reward balance changed Not just us: Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Slackware all no longer cool Phones! Tablets! Android! ChromeOS! Cloud! EC2! OpenStack! GCE! Containers! Docker! CoreOS!
4. What exactly is "Fedora.next"? A word for a bit of planning and direction- setting — instead of running ahead without looking around No secret agenda (except Fedora success, which isn't too secret) Open to your contributions Going to take a few years, with incremental improvement
5. Fedora's Mission The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community. Are we positioned to do that over the next decade?
6. Additive, not Restrictive We do a pretty good job of making the base distro Collection of packages is (mostly) high quality So: What can we do outside of that? How can we make what we do have even better?
7. More Questions! Positive voice for server and cloud? RHEL and CentOS link? General trend towards base = boring? Difficulty building things on top? Barriers to entry in the wrong place? Balance of innovation vs change management?
8. Multi-level "Rings" Approach Central Core ("Base Design") Ring 2: Environments & Stacks Future: Ring 3 applications Ring 0 JeOS
9. Why? Innovation vs. change management Reduce barriers to entry Make it easier to be on Fedora without being in And hopefully, make it easier to be part without being in the distro as it stands today
10. Products Proposal Fedora Workstation (or Client, Desktop) Fedora Server Fedora Cloud (Shiny!)
11. Why? Voice for Server User focus for Workstation Cloud can be more radical
12. Pieces vs. Sets
13. More Sets... We can ship sets... without taking away the basic blocks.
14. More Why Grow the user base in these areas Easier development target Server can be more connected to future RHEL
15. Governance Working groups One each for the products One for the base design One for environments & stacks SIGs are still a thing FESCo, FPC, Design, QA, etc., still there
16. Current State Product PRDs accepted by FESCo, waiting on board Next step is planning for F21 changes we might want what we can do now and how we'll do it. Still plenty of room for input and help
