From: "Zeeshan Ali (Khattak)" <zeeshanak at gnome.org>

Unlike the previous os entries for 'gnome', that were targetted towards
Fedora-based live ISOs, this one is targetted for qcow2 (and hopefully in
future ISOs) images produced by gnome-continuous:

https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeContinuous
http://build.gnome.org/ostree/buildmaster/images/z/current/

Would be really nice for libosinfo to be able to detect OS from images
too but that might not be feasible so at least for now apps would have
to do their own detection (perhaps through guestfs). Once OS matched to
a libosinfo's OS definition, apps can at least use libosinfo to figure
minimum/recommended resources, which devices are supported and a nice
default name etc to be able to create a decent/working VM given an
installed disk image.

The resources set were based on Colin Walters advice:

<zeenix> walters: hi. Would you be able to approximate min. system
requirements for 3.10 images?
<zeenix> walters: i was thinking of just copying the ones from fedora 19
(at least for now)
<walters> zeenix: offhand i'd say dual core and 1G of memory
<drago01> is llvmpipe really happy with just two cores?
<ebassi> "happy" is probably too strong
<ebassi> but it works reasonably well
<ebassi> you probably don't want to be on battery power, though
<ebassi> or, at least, you won't be for long if you do
<drago01> ok
