The schedule for the event may be found at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2018 and includes two tracks covering a wide variety of topics.

CentOS 6 patches for Spectre and Meltdown
by Paul Graydon 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Hi, I see from centos-announce that the patches for CentOS 7 have rolled out, do we have a rough ETA on the CentOS 6 patches? From the looks of the security vulnerability mailing lists it looks like RedHat released the patches for 6 around the same time. I'll confess I'm a little rusty on the nomenclature RedHat uses, and the security advisory for 6 specifically references "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 Advanced Update Support and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 Telco Extended Update Support." I'm not entirely clear what "Advanced Update Support" means about the availability of patches. Does that have any impact on the patches rolling out to CentOS? Paul

[Infra] - planned outage : All services
by Fabian Arrotin 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Due to important security updates that we need to apply within the whole CentOS infra, please be aware that some nodes/services will be unresponsive during that maintenance window. As it targets both CentOS 6 and CentOS 7, we'll probably apply those updates ASAP but we'll not notify for each impacted service, so this announce will cover all impacted services during the next hours/days. Thanks for your comprehending and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab
