Hi all, I've published the video of Wednesday's board meeting (now with timestamps): https://youtu.be/T5HPnEe778M Here's the minutes: https://hackmd.io/@centosboard/rkBxQUC4o And some highlights: * There is ongoing work on a vision statement. * There are a number of open issues around trademark and logo use. We are looking at Fedora's efforts to revamp their logo use rules. * There was a long discussion about recent requests for integration testing that the community can contribute to. * There has been progress on trusting SIGs for secureboot. * We intend to host CentOS Connect at FOSDEM on February 3. The full announcement is blocking on contract processes. Plan on it. * There will be a Distributions Devroom at FOSDEM. Be there. * We're looking into a web+docs hackfest after FOSDEM.

Connect at FOSDEM
by Shaun McCance 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

Going to FOSDEM? Here are three things to know: 1) We will have a CentOS Connect on February 3, the Friday before FOSDEM. I'm waiting on a required legal review of the contract before the full announcement. But I know people are already making travel plans, so please plan on the extra day. 2) There will be a Distributions Devroom at FOSDEM on Sunday. I'm one of the organizers. The CFP will land soon. 3) I'm considering a web+docs hackfest in Brussels, probably just a single day, unless people really want more. For me, it would have to happen the Monday after FOSDEM. We have a lot of web and docs revamp stuff in the air. We won't do it all, but we can make a concrete plan and take home action items. Let me know if you're interested. Let me know if you're interested in attending. Thanks, Shaun

Alternative Images SIG kickoff
by Troy Dawson 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

The CentOS Alternative Images SIG is finally official.[1] Time to get things rolling. I have setup an IRC channel #centos-alt-images and a pagure group[2], along with a sig repo[3] to track issues and documentation. I have requested a weekly meeting[4], Tuesdays at 1600 UTC on #centos-meeting. It is currently weekly, but as things get setup we'll slow that down to bi-weekly and possibly monthly. We can also work on a better time, but for now, that's what we have. Everybody is welcome to join and contribute to the SIG. The current set of members is: * Troy Dawson * Neal Gompa * Robby Callicotte * Brian Stinson * Ondřej Budai * Davida Cavalca *Ali Erdinc Koroglu Roadmap and (Action) TODO List * SIG Setup ** Officially become a SIG (DONE) ** Determine when our meetings will be (DONE FOR NOW) *** Get them on the calendar (IN PROGRESS) ** Basic SIG Infrastructure setup *** IRC channel created (DONE) *** Git repo created (DONE) * Documentation Created ** Basic SIG documentation (STARTED) *** Configuration for creating images (NEED) *** Instructions for creating images (NEED) ** Configuration templates for members / potential members (NEED) ** Instructions for end users *** Where to get the images (NEED) *** How to use the images (NEED) * Infrastructure Setup * Install Imagebuilding setup in CentOS Stream and/or Fedora (NEED) * Live Image building setup in CentOS Stream and/or Fedora (NEED) * Images to Mirrors setup (NEED) If you see a NEED and know how to do it, let us know and we can get started on it.

Are CentOS Stream 8 package updates stalled?
by Greg Bailey 05 Nov '22

05 Nov '22

I've switched my CentOS Linux 8 workstation to CentOS Stream 8 quite some time ago, and haven't encountered too many issues doing so, but I'm curious as to why there haven't been any package updates that I can see in quite some time (since early October as far as I can see). With the new stream process, my understanding is that for feature and bugfix development, the process is: Git ---> CentOS Stream ---> RHEL (next minor version) But with security updates, it seems to be: Git ---> RHEL (current minor version) ---> RHEL rebuilds (Rocky, Alma, etc) I'm kind of surprised that my firefox and thunderbird builds still seem stuck at 91.13.0, when I've seen updates go by on the RHEL 8 channels with the newer firefox builds, etc. What is the flow for security updates to make it into CentOS Stream package repositories? Is there some documentation describing this that maybe I missed? I don't remember seeing this on the CPE newsletter either. Thanks, Greg

Gauging interest in Discourse
by Shaun McCance 02 Nov '22

02 Nov '22

Hi all, You might be aware that there is a CentOS category on the Fedora Discourse instance: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/centos/71 There have been some discussions about having a dedicated Discourse instance for CentOS. Discourse has a lot of advantages, such as better moderation and integration with our accounts system. But I understand that many people are comfortable with their existing workflows. There's no point in running Discourse if it doesn't get enough buy-in. So I'm asking for input on using Discourse for various things: * Project announcements, like events, meetings, and infra changes * Activity reports, such as for SIGs and events * User support, replacing forums.centos.org * Development of Stream itself, basically centos-devel * Development of stuff inside SIGs * Replacement for the comments section of the blog * Alternatively, just replacing the blog entirely * Something else I'm not thinking of Thanks, Shaun McCance CentOS Community Architect Red Hat Open Source Program Office
