Hi Cent-onians?
Ive sent this week's GitLab AMA topic to Fedora's devel-announce list,
but in case there are those of you who are interested in the GitLab
discussion here too, I would like to share it on your email list also.
This week's topic from the GitLab AMA session on September 10th is on
Message Bus. As always, here are some links to the resources I have
been pulling content from as well:
* Questions and Answers hackmd link https://hackmd.io/RW8HahOeR7OJPON1dwuo3w
* Chat log from session

## Topic: Message Bus
- Question: Fedora uses a message bus to integrate different parts of
its infrastructure. How should we onboard GitLab into this message
bus?
- Answer: Currently we would need to have a service that proxies
GitLab’s events to fedora-messaging something similar to
github2fedmsg.
There were some concerns raised about the order of events sent by
GitLab’s webhooks, these will need to be looked after during a Proof
of Concept stage.
- Question: How would git push over http work with GitLab? (assuming
gitlab does not have Fedora's password since they are stored in FAS)
- Answer: GitLab has a good number of authentication options and
integrations where the "best" solution usually depends on a team's
specific needs and use case. As such, the best way to know and meet
Fedora's needs and use cases is to have a conversation and discuss the
options with GitLab. How does git push over HTTP work with FAS right
now, and what git push (over HTTP) auth requirements/flow would you
like to have for your projects in GitLab?
These are the only two questions and answers I could gather relating
to message bus from the AMA question sheet, however I know there was a
lot of discussion regarding this topic during the AMA session itself,
so if you would like to resume/kick off that conversation again,
please feel free to use this email to discuss.
A personal note and for full transparency: the weeks seem to be
passing in the blink of an eye lately, I assume it's because I'm
busy(?) but it might be just the weird 2020 vibe the world is on
nowadays. I really don't know. Whatever the reason, there has been no
further discussion with GitLab since early October-ish, but we will be
returning to the conversation of how this migration could be
technically possible soon, so sincerely thank you all again for
engaging with us/me here as I found reading the discussion that came
from the Fedora devel list on permission and access much easier to
follow and have been taking notes on expectations to use that feedback
in conversations with GitLab when we pick the discussion back up.
I hope you all had a good weekend and will talk to you all next week
when the topic of Namespace & Issue Tracking is sent!
Kindest regards,
Aoife

OK all .. RHEL 7.9 source code updated today.
I am currently working to start the build of CentOS 7 based on that
[CentOS 7 (2009) ].
Currently, we need to bootstrap and then build llvm-toolset-9.0 and
rust-toolset-1.41 as some of the released packages need those toolsets.
I also need to check devtoolset-7 and devtoolset-8 and see if we need
any updates to pacakges there before we start the main build .. and I
need to see of any of the packages need devtoolset-9.
Once we have all those prerequisites completed, I can start the main builds.
The goal, as usual, is to get the CR repo populated in 7 to 10 days:
https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR
And the final release completed in less than 40 days.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

For all the SIGs .. if you have content that you want removed from the
7.9.2009 tree (the next point release), that are currently in the
7.8.2003 tree, please put the rpm names and/or directories (as
applicable) in an email to this list.
This includes centos-release-* files you would like removed from extras/.
Point rleease is an ideal time to remove items no longer required ..
they stay in the 7.8.2003 trees that are moved to vault.centos.org but
be removed from the 7.9.2009 trees.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
The Call for Presentations for both DevConf.in and DevConf.cz are now
open. The .cz CFP closes on November 6th, and the .in CFP closes on
November 15th. You can access both of them at cfp.devconf.info.
Although FOSDEM looks different this year, we plan to continue our
tradition of holding a CentOS Dojo on the day (or days) before FOSDEM
begins.
The event will take place online. Doing this online gives us access to a
wider pool of speakers and attendees - this means YOU!
The call for presentations is now open -
https://forms.gle/trwNjcvA4SX6CPkA7 . The actual schedule will depend
on submissions that we receive, but we are tentatively hoping to run the
event on February 4th and 5th, ahead of FOSDEM starting on the 6th.
We are looking for presentations about anything that you are doing in,
or on, CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream. This includes, but is certainly
not limited to, SIG activity, research using CentOS, useful
tools/applications that can be deployed on CentOS, or topics around
community engagement.
More details about the event will be available on the event wiki page -
https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/FOSDEM2021 - as soon as we know more.
