Meeting May 13, 2025 at 08:58 CDT Summary
Matthias Clasen inquired about the new Fedora spin for WSL, which Neal
Gompa (Conan Kudo) reported generally works but currently lacks
graphical application support. The discussion then shifted to Neil
Gompa (Conan Kudo)'s X11 sessions change proposal, awaiting a Canonical
meeting and prompting concerns from Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) about a
potentially contentious FESCo discussion due to diverging opinions on
default display servers. The accessibility team meeting, initially
planned for the following week by Matthias Clasen, will be rescheduled
due to conflicts with Red Hat Summit for Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) and
Michel Lind.

WSL Fedora Spin
Matthias Clasen inquired about the new Fedora spin for WSL, released
with Fedora 42. Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) stated their Windows computer
is too old to test it but relayed that it generally works, although
graphical applications currently do not. Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo)
likened it to a container image or toolbox with system integration, and
Matthias Clasen noted that graphical application issues might stem from
missing packages or detection problems with GTK and Qt.
X11 Sessions Discussion
Matthias Clasen brought up the pending decision on Neil Gompa (Conan
Kudo)'s change proposal regarding X11 sessions. The upstream release
team is waiting for a Canonical planning meeting, with a follow-up
release team meeting scheduled for the next week. Neal Gompa (Conan
Kudo) mentioned that FESCo would discuss it again this week but they
would be absent. Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) requested that someone
familiar with GNOME, Wayland, and X11 attend the FESCo meeting to
support the proposal and suggested deferral if no champion can attend.
Matthias Clasen noted the FESCo meeting time. Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo)
expressed concern over the Fedora Discourse discussion devolving, with
arguments for making X11 the default again despite Wayland's progress.
Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) emphasized the increasing burden of maintaining
the X11 session with no upstream support and suggested that upstream
developers communicate this reality to FESCo. Matthias Clasen agreed to
try and attend the FESCo meeting.
Accessibility Team Meeting
Matthias Clasen planned to reach out to accessibility people to
schedule a team meeting for the following week, noting that the current
week was accessibility awareness focused. However, Michel Lind pointed
out that the following week coincides with Red Hat Summit. Neal Gompa
(Conan Kudo) confirmed their absence due to speaking at the summit, and
Michel Lind would also be attending. Consequently, the accessibility
meeting was tentatively rescheduled for two weeks later, and the next
week's meeting might be canceled.
