CPE Quarterly Feedback Survey Results
by Ant Carroll 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

Hey folks, I want to thank everyone that took the time to complete the survey for us. Even more so for those of you that left comments to help give us extra info and context, this is invaluable. The flip side is, it takes a little time to work through and that's what we're doing right now. A few pieces we can acknowledge off the bat though: - Mediums of communication were overwhelmingly positive for weekly email lists and blog posts. 76% for the emails and 46% for blog posts respectively We're discussing how to improve these even further at the moment as well as tweak the PO office hours and wind down the Taiga boards as these were significantly less popular. 14% for the PO office hours and 1% for the Taiga boards. - Transparency of decisions and communications. You want more of the former and streamlining on the latter. We hear you and will aim to deliver this alongside the first point above. - Overall (82%+ reponses) you feel we did a good job since April of this year. We appreciate the level of confidence you've shown in us and our desire is to continuously improve this with your feedback.

Hi everyone, Welcome to September! Below are the most recent Community Platform Engineering project updates, and if you want to know more about our team, see our wiki page here for more information on who our team is: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/cpe/ Here are some upcoming IRC meetings: ### CPE Product Owner Office Hours #### #fedora-meeting-1 * Weekly on Thursdays @ 1300 UTC on #fedora-meeting-1 * Next Meeting: 2020-09-03 #### #centos-meeting * Every second Tuesday @ 1500 UTC on #centos-meeting * Next Meeting: 2020-09-01 #### GitLab AMA Session * September 10th @ 1330 UTC on #fedora-meeting-1 Below are the project & community updates this week: #### GitLab There will be an IRC based AMA session with GitLab on Thursday 10th September @ 1330 UTC in place of the CPE PO office hours. We are still talking to GitLab but we are deliberately taking our time to make sure all of the technical blockers can be met and the move will be worth it in the end. There is very little to no updates in the tracker, but I will include it nonetheless https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217350 I will also be sending a separate email on details of the AMA session later this week, such as how to submit questions in advance so there is content ready on the day. ## CentOS Updates ### CentOS * Updated ocp.stg to OCP v4.5.6. * Added a number of users to the jump.ci host. * Adding monitoring/alerting for NFS slowness to the ocp cluster. ### CentOS Stream * Module push tweaks. * Exploring how to enable fedora messaging in Stream * Reviewing documentation on contributor policies before publishing them later this quarter. ## Fedora Updates ### Staging Environment * Services will begin to be deployed this week * Please be patient as some services will inevitably not work due to networking errors that the team don't know until they deploy * Thank you again for your patience and understanding during these last few months! ### AAA Replacement * Deployment to staging for testing is delayed due to missing firewalls in IAD2 * This has just recently been unblocked so the team will begin some deployment and testing of Noggin this week * Wider community testing will be available, estimated next week * In the meantime. Please feel free to check out the team kanban board for more information on the features the team are working on and have already completed here https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/6 ### Fedora Messaging Schemas * List of applications that require messaging schemas can be found here https://hackmd.io/@nilsph/H1i8CAbkP/edit * There is a readme which contains documentation on messaging schemas, a cookie-cutter template to create the schema and a definition of Done for writing a schemas https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedora-messaging-schemas-issues * The board they are working from can be viewed here https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/7 ### Packager Workflow Healthcare * The team have been reviewing data on how packages are built in the fedora infrastructure for the last 8 weeks and have gathered enough information to create a report on their findings. * This report is currently in draft format, and is going to be reviewed by the team first, and then sent to the devel and infra lists in the next 2 weeks est. * The teams work is being tracked here https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/cpe-cicd/kanban Here is a reminder of what our team has committed to work on in this quarter of the year: The CPE team are working on the following projects for Quarter 3, which is the months of July, August & September: * Data Centre Move - Final Works * CentOS Stream Phase 3 * Noggin Phase 3 * Packager Workflow Healthcare * Fedora Messaging Schemas Details of the above projects, and of projects currently in progress, done and what projects are in our backlog, can be found on our taiga board per project card: https://tree.taiga.io/project/amoloney1-cpe-team-projects/kanban?epic=null We also have an updated initiative timetable for briefing in new projects to our team & key dates here:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/cpe/time_tables/ *Note: Initiatives are large pieces of work that require a team of people and weeks/months to complete. Please continue to open tickets in the normal way for bugs, issues, etc. Background: The Community Platform Engineering group, or CPE for short, is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Our goal is to keep core servers and services running and maintained, build releases, and other strategic tasks that need more dedicated time than volunteers can give. As always, feedback is welcome, and we will continue to look at ways to improve the delivery and readability of this weekly report. Have a great week!
