Benefit to Fedora
I think a games spin is more likely to get people to try it out than most other spins. As such it makes it a nice candidate for being handed out at events focusing on introducing people to Fedora. While the games are not going to be impressive for hard core gamers, there is a nice variety that is likely to have something of interest for most people. A liveusb based on the spin could be even better as that allows people to play their games on other people's computers while keeping their saved games and high score lists with them.
Kickstart File
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/plain/fedora-live-games.ks?h=f24
ISO Name / FS Label
Fedora-23-Live-Games
Dependencies
- Review existing included games for suitability.
- Start making short test plans for all specifically included games.
- This will not be complete by release.
- Most popular 3d games still don't work with the nouveau driver.
- There isn't much slack space, so game list shouldn't change much.
Scope / Testing
- The plan is to pick a good set of showcase games, while still fitting on a DVD and having a reasonable desktop. Due to size constraints, some good games have been left out.
- All of the listed games need to be tested to make sure they are playable.
- Test sound and music for games that provide it.
- Test network play for games that support it.
- Getting good hardware coverage for testing 3D games may be difficult.

Spin description
The games spin provides a way to showcase Fedora to potential users using games as a hook. The best games in a number of categories are included in the spin. It is also useful for testing how well 3D is supported with the native Fedora drivers on a particular system.
Support tab
For discussions relating to the included games, games@lists.fedoraproject.org is a good starting point.
