• Port to python 3 - Pungi, Mash, releng scripts, fedpkg, rpkg, etc - F27
• Bodhi: Support for non-rpm content
• Move base image builds to OSBS - F27 (dependent on Multi-arch support)
• Automate security updates (in addition to 2 week updates) for containers using automated workflow - Review for F27
• Rel-eng: Segment nightly composes more logically
• flatpak prototype
• Rocket base images
• Documentation of rel-eng process so that internal release engineers can contribute
• Development & Deployment Process Improvement / Standardization
• Container test status results reported from Taskotron via fedmsg / email / UI
• Test automation for Atomic in Taskotron (?)
  • • • Integration with UAT Framework
      • Integration with Autocloud OR porting functionality & tests to Taskotron
      • Integration with Tunir OR porting functionality & tests to Taskotron
      • Integration with OpenQA
    • Move ostree creation out of Bodhi
• RHEL process checks done internally that should also be done in Fedora (ie license checking, rpmdiff / static analysis, etc)
• Ability to create embargoed builds in tools (at least koji & bodhi) and lift the embargo after release so that security can get embargoed changes out quickly
• rel-eng scripts cleanup
• rel-eng tools are not easily testable or contributed to
• changes can be tested in an integrated environment before releasing to production
• Critical system / use case integration with gilmsg where appropriate in release tooling
• Development release gating with sanity testing / stability
• Layered images _not_ from RPMs — source-to-image or other
• Releng CI (on Jenkins)
