Thank you x3mboy, is that enough or should we find more. I would be happy to if we want to. Also, some of this seems a little un-fedora related. I'm going to hunt around for some fedora news.

We need to figure it out in a script if we cover enough time. I'm thinking in at least 20 minutes, so maybe we will need a little more. Or we can just expand on the news and comment, to make more time and then splits the news in several episodes.

Fedora related would be that we are now using more specific branch names instead of master in dist-git and several other repositories. Also it would be interesting to provide more details about some of the upcoming changes: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/34/ChangeSet, I see a few of them are also mentioned as a interview idea like i3 Spin or BTRFS.

Some things that jumped out at me from the 34 release that we haven't specifically mentioned,
- Wayland is default for KDE plasma
- pipewire everything

I was thinking maybe we put some of the above KDE news into the KDE spin interview. #26

We need to record this soon for the next Season, as this will be episode 2. Are we going to do Thursday night @x3mboy ? I think the plan was 6:30 PM or 18:30 UTC-4. Please correct me If I am wrong.

You're right. This Thursday 18:30 UTC-4

@till , would you mind sending me link to some of the repos so I could check it out?

Anyone have any other Fedora News they want to put in here? My idea is to have a flow, where people drop ideas in here, then we branch off into individual episodes, pulling ideas from this thread. I think we've got all the F34 news basically covered, mostly in interviews. Which means it's gonna be tricky to find more news, because after a big release, we just want a break :)

Closing as done

Is it done?
I thought we still had news episodes to cover in season 2? I can't see why we would close this

I never got an answer on why this was closed(as season two isn't done) so I'm going to reopen and give some fresh news for the podcast

Relevant news for BTRFS episode, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FedoraCloudBtrfsByDefault

Fedora cloud is getting BTRFS by default in Fedora 34

Last weekend, the Fedora Project sponsored two conferences, KDE's Akademy, and the openSUSE conference. I (Grayson) even recorded an interview for Akademy, and a fellow Fedoran, Onuralp, recorded an interview for openSUSE. Make sure you go check those out, they're both on youtube, and in the shownotes.

Upcoming test week:
11–17 July: Kernel 5.13 test week

Closing this because season 2 has ended
