Following the CentOS "Setting up a new SIG"[1] instructions I am opening a new topic about creating a new CentOS SIG. I have initially filled out several sections that are in other SIG pages. These are all open for discussion.
Goals: The Alternate Images SIG's goal will be to build and provide alternate iso images for CentOS Stream.
What is in Scope: - Live Images (Previously known as LiveDVD, LiveCD) -- Examples: --- Live Desktops (KDE / GNOME / XFCE / Mate ) --- Live Rescue - Alternate Install Images -- Examples: --- Minimum install iso (doesn't need the network, but almost as small as the boot.iso) --- KDE install iso (has epel enabled, and packages to install a working kde desktop) - Repo's that are compatible with CentOS Stream, and follow the Fedora licensing policy.
What is not in Scope: - Containers - Raw / QCow / AWS - Iso images that are bigger than 4 Gig. (This number can be adjusted after the SIG is formed) - Repo's that are not compatible with CentOS Stream, or do not follow the Fedora licensing policy.
Collaboration: We plan on working with various Desktop SIG's, the Fedora minimization team, and any other group that wants custom iso's.
Deliverables: - Documentation along with configuration (kickstarts and scripts) that will allow members to create their alternate images. - Alternate images in a publically downloadable area -- Images will be rebuilt, or retired, a minimum of every three months.
Leadership: I (Troy Dawson) will be the initial Lead of the SIG. After (or while) the SIG is formed we will decide if we want a co-chair leadership and/or how often the leadership is elected.
