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.
