Good evening folks,
FESco previously approved a requirement[1] that Spin/Labs owners send a
keepalive request in order to keep building the spin or lab. I have
opened Pagure issues[2] for all Spins and Labs for this release[3].
If you are the owner of one of those spins and labs, please reply in
the appropriate ticket by Friday February 2nd 2024 to indicate the spin should
continue to be produced. If there is a spin or lab that does not have
an open ticket, please create one[4].
The reasoning for this is to not ship spins that are not actively
maintained. Future improvements to the release process that will allow
for teams to self-publish solutions will eventually remove the need
for these keepalives.
Apologies for the lateness of this request and I appreciate your help
confirming.
Kindest regards,
Aoife

This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
= IoT Simplified Provisioning =
== Summary ==
Offer Fedora IoT users a new, non-release blocking deliverable to
deploy and configure Fedora IoT systems using a new tool called
Simplified Provisioning.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:pwhalen| Paul Whalen]]
* Email: pwhalen(a)fedoraproject.org
* Name: [[User:djachimo| David Jachimowicz]]
* Email: djachimo(a)redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
The Fedora IoT Simplified Provisioning tool uses the
`coreos-installer` to write an OStree raw image straight to a disk
specified in a kernel argument, without the need for a kickstart or
user interaction. This type of installation is ideal for devices
connected at the edge where connectivity can be slow or intermittent.
This new, non-release blocking deliverable, offers users the ability
to easily configure the system with Fido Device Onboarding or Ignition
and allows for headless, secure, zero touch installations including
optional automated disk encryption with enrollment into TPM2.
== Feedback ==
== Benefit to Fedora ==
The addition of the Fedora IoT Simplified Provisioning deliverable
will benefit IoT users by allowing them to easily deploy Fedora IoT
systems and leverage existing tools like Fido Device Onboarding and
Ignition for configuration.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Test building the new deliverable in Fedora infrastructure as part
of the IoT compose process.
** Update Fedora IoT documentation with usage details.
** Update website so users can download artifacts.
* Other developers:
* N/A
* Release engineering: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) <!--
REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM WIDE CHANGES -->
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Community Initiatives:
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
* Not applicable to this change.
== How To Test ==
* Testable by downloading the new ISO and deploying to a UEFI enabled
edge device.
== User Experience ==
This change will enhance the Fedora IoT user experience by allowing
users to easily customize Fedora IoT deployments and leverage new
technologies like FIDO Device Onboarding for secure zero touch device
onboarding of edge devices as well as Ignition to configure the
device.
== Dependencies ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency deadline: Beta
* Blocks release? No.
* Blocks product? No.
== Documentation ==
* Usage documentation to be written and included in the
[https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/iot/user-guide/ Fedora IoT user
guide].
== Release Notes ==

Wiki -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/IBus_1.5.30
This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
= IBus 1.5.30 =
== Summary ==
IBus 1.5.30 will have some enhancements.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Fujiwara|Takao Fujiwara]]
* Email: fujiwara [at] redhat [dot] com
== Detailed Description ==
* `ibus start` and `ibus restart` commands will work for Plasma
Wayland. (They have worked in Plasma Xorg.)
* "Preference" menu item will be shown in IBus activate menu in Plasma
Wayland. (The change is not needed in Plasma Xorg since the context
menu is also available.)
== Feedback ==
== Benefit to Fedora ==
This change will enhance the usability in Plasma Wayland.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: ibus 1.5.30
* Other developers:
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Community Initiatives:
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
== How To Test ==
=== `ibus restart` ===
# Log into Plasma wayland desktop session and confirm ibus-daemon is running
# Open konsole
# Run `ibus restart`
# ibus-daemon is restarted
=== Panel menu ===
# Log into Plasma wayland desktop session and confirm ibus-daemon is running
# Click on the IBus panel menu
# "Preference" menu item is available
== User Experience ==
`ibus restart` command has been useful for users to reload the IBus
configurations in non-Plasma Wayland desktop sessions and it will work
in Plasma Wayland too. Currently IBus can toggle the activate menu and
context menu with clicking the mouse middle button on the panel icon
but most users won't have to use the middle clicking after the
"Preferences" menu item is shown in the activate menu.
== Dependencies ==
IBus will use D-Bus methods of Plasma Wayland to reload the on-screen
keyboard configuration or show the panel menu.
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Revert the change to ibus.
* Contingency deadline: Beta release
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==
