Summary of Meeting Topics and Discussion
Summary is courtesy of Bot Aurélien, some clarifications added where needed
AI/ML SIG Docs Site Launch
- The new official documentation site for the AI/ML SIG is now live.
- The URL path is currently /ai/, but the group agreed it should be /ai-ml/ to align with the SIG’s name.
Wiki to Docs Migration
- A proposal was made to migrate content from the SIG’s Fedora Wiki page to the new official docs site.
- The move is favored because the docs site has better discoverability and SEO, and the wiki is a frequent target for spammers.
- A final decision on the migration is deferred until Tom Rix (trix), the primary wiki contributor, can provide his input.
- There was a discussion on the contribution workflow for the new docs site. The consensus is to start with a trust-based model, allowing direct commits for small changes and using pull requests for larger ones, rather than enforcing a PR-only workflow immediately.
ROCm 10.0 Update
- Upstream ROCm 10.0 has been released with a new time-based release schedule and consolidated repositories.
- Due to build time-out limits in Koji, the packages will remain as separate components in Fedora.
- Tom Rix is actively working on packaging ROCm 10.0 for Rawhide.
Goals for Fedora 46
- A preliminary discussion was held on the SIG’s focus for the F46 release cycle.
- Ideas included packaging more user-facing CLI tools to make AI more accessible.
- A key proposal is to formally “debut” the Fedora Skills Library, with clear documentation, contribution guides, and a CI/review process.
- The group acknowledged ongoing packaging challenges in the AI space, such as complex dependencies (e.g., PyTorch, Node.js) and a culture of vendoring that is at odds with traditional packaging guidelines.
Action Items
- jflory7: Change the SIG docs component name in Antora and create a PR for an infrastructure proxy redirect rule from /ai/ to /ai-ml/.
- jflory7: Open a new ticket to outline a detailed plan for migrating content from the Fedora Wiki to the new docs site. This will be used to facilitate a decision with Tom Rix.
