A project calendar
by Karanbir Singh 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hi There is quite a lot of stuff going on and not all of it is easily visible to everyone. The way to perhaps address that is to setup a project calendar that people can sync against and look at regularly. And more win if we can have it slightly open ended, allowing people / projects / sig's to contribute events into that cal. To that extent Stephen Smoogen introduced me to Pierre-Yves Chibo who runs the fedocal effort, and they have graciously agreed to set something up for CentOS as well. Stephen I know is on this list already, I've requested Pierre to join ( he might have done so already ). Firstly looking for comments on the idea / plan - and then for options on implemention, publishing and consumption of the calendar.

cloud-init in CentOS
by Sam Kottler 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

During the cloud instance SIG meeting today we talked about future plans for cloud-init in CentOS. Right now cloud-init is included as part of EPEL and that's where most CentOS users consume it from. The problem is that cloud-init and related bits are critical for building images to run on a public or private cloud, and we need to build early guest initialization tools into the cloud images we produce. Ideally this does not include adding EPEL or packages from EPEL which have not been rebuilt in our build systems. So, the proposal that there's general consensus upon within the SIG is to maintain cloud-init, its dependencies, and any related packages on git.centos.org and rebuild them ourselves. I'm one of the maintainers in EPEL so I offered to maintain the git repos for CentOS, anyone else who would like to be involved in more than welcome to step up. Thoughts, questions, concerns? -s

RFC: Alternative Desktop SIG
by Stephen John Smoogen 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

I would like to put together an alternative desktop sig which will build, qa, and support desktops which are not the Enterprise Linux primary or secondary desktops (GNOME and KDE). There are a couple of ground rules I would like to propose: 1) Any desktop system needs to have 3 sponsors who are people willing to do the work of building RPMS, coordinating user bugs with upstream, and fixing packages. The reason for 3 is a) that this SIG isn't a dumping ground for here is ABC-DE compiled, goodbye. b) that disagreements between sponsors should be deadlock free. c) that when people take vacations, etc there is continuity of operation. 2) Desktops do not keep to Enterprise lifetimes, but major version changes to the desktop need to be announced, tested and released to a schedule. Desktops which don't want to do that will not be part of the SIG. [A schedule does not need to be super detailed, but just alleviate surprise.] 3) Desktops can and will be removed from the SIG if there isn't an interest in keeping them up. This is mainly to cover that if ABC-DE desktop no longer has sponsors, other members of the SIG aren't obliged to support ABC-DE if they don't want to. 4) Some level of governance needs to be established so that there is a committee that can make sure that a desktop has 'sponsors', that it is not just code thrown over a wall and left, and that users are not left surprised when updates to the desktop occur. They may also make up packaging rules and guidelines as needed to alleviate problems that come up. As this is an RFC, these are just proposed rules to be solidified when the CentOS board considers the SIG. -- Stephen J Smoogen.

centosplus kernel naming
by Jim Perrin 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

As we gear up for the upcoming CentOS 7 release, we're tracking a few things for the CentOSPlus kernel as well. One of the proposals (via http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6828 ) is that we change the current name of the centosplus kernel to be a bit more consistent with other kernel names. The proposed new name would look like 'kernel-plus' or 'kernel-centosplus'. This is in keeping with other kernel names such as 'kernel-ml', 'kernel-xen', 'kernel-lt' etc. And allows for /etc/sysconfig/kernel to be used to set the DEFAULTKERNEL as desired. This change would only be for CentOS 7. Thoughts, comments, questions, flames? Please speak up with support for or against this change. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

Next Cloud Instance SIG meetup
by Karanbir Singh 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

hi everyone The next meetup for the Cloud Instance SIG is scheduled for 16:30 UTC on the 2nd July 2014 at #centos-devel @irc.freenode.net At this meeting, I am hoping to demo the image building process, the automation around it, the kickstart repos around it and how people can consume this service. The setup works to build docker images, HVM images and AMI's delivered via various fileformats ( tar, qcow2, vmdk, raw ); The intention is to iterate over this setup and eventually get to a point where this becomes, curated by the Cloud Instance SIG, the official CentOS image build and delivery mechanism. Everyone is welcome to come along and join. Regards -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

by Patrick Laimbock 28 May '14

Hi, Reminder: as previously announced on the centos-devel list, the VoIP SIG Hangout will be today Feb 13 at 16:00 UTC [0]. For more information how to join the hangout on Google+ or follow it on Youtube please check http://wiki.centos.org/OfficeHours Nothing set in stone but some of the things open for discussion are the scope of the VoIP SIG, the goal, the target audience, the deliverables, content distribution and lets not forget the actual proposal. It's also helpful to get an industry perspective, how to make the production side easier and facilitate processes that improve the usability of CentOS in the VoIP sector.
