J(someone paste in the video for reference)
Jok so we sent an email to steve and he responded
Jif he's doing a whole benchmark suite it's likely bazzite will need to build stuff, so thinking of ways to clear the board for them if/when they need to build stuff
JEasy wins:
J- when the time comes rev down renovate so it's less aggressive
J- I'm going to move Bluefin ISOs to the bluefin repo to get those off the board
J- If Aurora wants to share with github.com/projectbluefin then you're more than welcome, we could move ISOs there
J- Hell we could move beta builds there as well and just push the ublue-os registry namespace
Jalong with the bazzite org that effective triples our builders
J- we should investigate deprecating hwe and closed nvidia earlier (anyone have a status on the live rebaser?)
J- @James @tulip if available, we should hhelp Z just get the Bazzite ISOs over the line - we can pause Bluefin work for a bit to help them instead, we're doing ok enough
Tlets make a board
Tfor specifically this
J- remember we gotta do beta and ARM as well.
Jsomeone feel free to make a board, everytime I make a board no one uses it, I am ramping up for KubeCon I can't commit to this.
J- what else am I missing? Toss in ideas, etc.
Jwe should also investigate holding onto images longer than 90 days, perhaps start pushing to quay or something because you know he's gonna wanna do videos like "AMD performance a year later after blah blah launch"
Jand then I'm sure we'll need branches for beta nvidia drivers, etc. But that's bazzite's decision to make, we can focus on just clearing up resources
VDoesn't bazzite already have a longer holding period?
J- and then we need to deputize more trusted people so the shitshow in the channels doesn't happen when a bunch of linux users start acting like linux users
J- and put more focus on help resources, but that doesn't mean we should let it become like the old general channel.
VI'll try to be here more often, I can also try to find some people to help out with watching channels.
VNot the best having developers babying the discord lol
Jwe have lots of people who have been here for years
Jyep
JAnd we should find bigger builders for antheas for kernels, @Robert I'm thinking we just do dedicated blacksmith.sh - someone will need to do a quick donation drive to get some cash in to build stuff. I would commit $200 to this personally. It would at least get us moving. Or some other alternate thing.
NI definitely think a project board would be helpful to organize this effort a bit better. I can commit to helping with a lot of this since my role has changed more from a ISO developer to community management / project management for Bazzite.
NAlso a lot of this feels like a combination of Bazzite / Ublue stuff in this thread, it would be helpful to organize where the lines of Ublue and Bazzite start and end in regards to this effort.
N@antheas @Kyle Gospo once I get back from vacation, I would like to finish up the stuff related to the governance and donations since a lot of these items directly tie into how organized we are and how we can best get our house in order.
NIf we have the governance sorted, it will be a lot easier to manage tasks with a board and prioritize what things we need to get done.

LCould you explain what the benefit is for moving repos or workflows over to a different org? Does that increase our runner capacity in some way?
ABazzite is able to swap kernels and mesa now and if we do benchmarking the tool will be able to do that...
AWe don't need much for kernels
ALike seriously I do a few a week and they take 2 hours to build
AIt's not much
ASo we don't need an image backlog
AAnd my z13 can build kernels locally in 3-15m
AIf you want to help get me an EV certificate for bazzite by a clean org we can have control of
ABecause the cost for that without an org, I've been looking at it the past few days, is ~3k per year
RIf you really wanted to, the bluefin image builds itself (fedora & centos) can be moved to projectbluefin too.
As long as we still push the images to ublue-os org, we can move all bluefin workflows to a separate org

RIt would also allow other images that follow suit to safely publish test images in PRs.
Tthat honestly seems fitting LOL
Jone thing these youtbers all need often is to get kernels and drivers for pre-released things easily overlaid on the system. But at the same time that's not something you want to expsoe to users, so either a youtber-outreach support channel or some other way to accomplish this is needed
Jthe other thing I can think off is having a defined and ready to go image you can use for benchmarks, which is basically an ephemral preconfiugred sessions/install
Jit would be cool to find a youtuber willing to get into a pilot setup for benchmarking so you figure out what they need to do, why and how
Jlike handholding them throughout the whole thing so you can have notes on what needs to be fixed or created and so on
SSomething about automating multiple benchmark runs and recording the results in a consistent machine readable format. That’s something that is used by all YouTube benchmarkers. It doesn’t have to be a completely new tool, but maybe there’s some existing project or framework that Bazzite can bundle in or make easily installable
Jyeah, so we have 60 runners here, and we could have another 60 per org. So we can build out if needbe.
Jthe max on a gh org before you need an enterprise account is 60. After that it's 500 and the price skyrockets.
