Top posting some status updates: The board voted to approve this SIG earlier this week, with a caveat for build requirements. Most SIG ideas use the basic repo or rpm structure, whereas rpm-ostree has a fundamental shift in the build process for images. We'll be reaching out to the SIG leaders to identify what build resources may be necessary and how best to address those needs in a manner that can be reasonably automated. Once we have an idea of scope and tasks, we can start moving forward with this.
