There have been several changes on this front recently, most notably the arrival of [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterStartup plymouth]. The plan is meet and try to poke holes in encrypted block device installations. We'll have a host of QA and Development characters hanging out discussing bugs (aka "features"), expectations, and test areas. I've included details below for how you can contribute below. | ||
