I support continuing with a strong developer focus for the first few
releases of the Workstation. Many of Langdons ideas are already in the pipeline and
others
can be added once we flesh them out, and some I think isn't as workable as his idea of
staying
on a given GNOME release for a few releases, but I agree with the underlaying notion that
ABI stability
for the desktop is something we need to focus on and work with upstream to focus on.

Subject: Developer focus for Fedora workstation
Some important talks from Flock:
First, Christian Schaller's "Fedora Workstation - Goals, Philosophy, and
Future" <
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYtJZBgOrKw>
Second, Langdon White's "Fedora for Developers"
<
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COAeCYSxEQk>
I'm particularly interested in feedback on the second one. A good discussion
started at the conference, but we ran out of time. Overall, it is somewhat
different from the "Workstation" idea I had in mind at last Flock and with
the _initial_ .next proposal, but I think Langdon and others arguing for
this more dramatic approach have convinced me.
What do you all think? The impact on F21 will be small, but a clear
direction here can guide our marketing, and, not so long from now, the
production of F22.
