Gerald to ping Christian, who kindly helped fix some issues already.
Discussion on whether/how strongly to recommend Flatpacks (over third party repos)
- What should the wiki page instruct about proprietary codecs? Should we dissuade the use of third party repositories?
- Question for the release engineering team? No
- Does not look like it?
- Gerald. So, who makes decisions like this, then?
- It seems like recommending H264 is probably the best option
- Revert recent changes in the language on the wiki page about this topic, Simon will create a draft of better wording for this issue on this page.
EU OS
- Patrick points out https://eu-os.gitlab.io/
- Project is led by an individual and not an official EU initiative, rather the project is planning to promote the distribution once ready for release to government agencies.
