Fedora Server SIG
Welcome on the home of Fedora Server/OldSchool/Classic SIG. We are the people you have been warned off - we don't need 3D desktop effects, but we like iSCSI, etc.
Rationale
There is a lot of work being done for one group of Fedora users, but it looks like that the second one is being ignored. The first one is covered by the Desktop team and the second one, let's call it Server, Classic, OldSchool, etc, has no formal representation in the Fedora community. You can object that there are no Fedora Server users, but they are there - either running Fedora itself or derivates of Fedora called RHEL, CentOS etc. In an ideal world they will complement each other, but in the real life there will be conflicts, that must be resolved either technically (by maintaining compatibility, with possibility to enable/disable features, etc) or politically on the FESCo level.

Our goals
- maintaining the classic network configuration layer (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts), at least until the time NetworkManager (or any newer mechanism) will provide the same service with the same efficiency and breadth of configuration options
- create a spin targeted at head-less servers, NAS and similar devices (running on both physical and virtual hardware)
- reduce the dependency on desktop packages to reduce the attack surface of the server
- ...
Our questions
- why do we need plymouth to install new kernel?
- ...
DanHorak's background
- using Linux since 1994 or 1995
- administering Linux servers and desktops for 10+ years
- official package maintainer in Fedora for 3+ years
