Summary of Fedora Council Meeting Discussion on Git Forge Evaluation

The Fedora Council meeting on July 31, 2024, discussed the upcoming Flock panel and topics we wanted to cover. The main focus was the Git Forge evaluation and the communication strategy around the potential transition.

Here are the key points:

  • Moderator: @amoloney will moderate the panel discussion.
  • Council Role in Flock Panel: The Council will present on the ongoing investigation into GitLab and Forgejo as potential replacements for Pagure.
  • Council Introduction: Instead of individual introductions, the Council will use slides for a brief overview and self-introductions from attending members.
  • Hot Topics:
    • Git Forge Evaluation
    • AI/ML integration (briefly mentioned)
  • Git Forge Evaluation Timeline:
    • The Council is proposing a timeline for the investigation:
      • Complete investigation and report by F41 release (October 23rd)
      • Migration plan submitted as a F42 change
      • Pagure decommissioned by F44 release
    • There is discussion about the feasibility of this timeline and the need for earlier communication points.
  • Communication Strategy:
    • The Council will present the timeline as a goal and emphasize collaboration with the CPE/ARC investigation team.
    • Transparency and community involvement are crucial.
    • @humaton’s Flock talk will cover most of the technical details.

Next Steps:

  • The Council needs to reach agreement on a timeline for the investigation and communication points before the Flock panel.
  • The Council should discuss how to best frame the proposed timeline during the panel discussion, balancing ambition with realistic expectations.
