If you're interested in SIGs building against/for Stream 9, I encourage
you to watch this new video by Fabian: https://youtu.be/ah-xsT5nYrU
(Just 6 minutes.)
Just a quick reminder that the October Online Dojo is TOMORROW, and
starts at 15:00 UTC with a Board of Directors AMA (Ask Me (Us) Anything)
session.

As pre-announced on the centos-devel list in another thread, and also
per Automotive SIG request (https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/458) ,
we'd like to announce new https://sigs.centos.org virtual host,
rendering SIG documentation (if they want to)
The system is based on markdown documents, rendered through mkdocs
(https://mkdocs.org)
How can you request your SIG namespace on it ?
# prepare a git repository with your .md files and a mkdocs.yml file
(see https://www.mkdocs.org/getting-…
[View More]started/)
# create a centos-infra ticket on https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues
with :
- sig name and description
- git origin for your project (where your .md files are stored) : it
can be wherever you want, so github, gitlab, pagure.io or even
git.centos.org if you ask for a project to be created there for your SIG
# once created (by ansible), your content will be automatically rendered
and visible under https://sigs.centos.org/<sig_name> (example :
https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/ , already "live")
Once you'll have just accepted PR or pushed commits to your git
repository, it will be picked up, rendered and push to
https://sigs.centos.org vhost.
Suggestion : if your SIG has such documentation online, it would be good
to just have a pointer in wiki to the new place, (or even move
instructions - if you have some - to the dedicated SIG doc site)

Hi everyone,
This is a weekly report from the CPE (Community Platform Engineering)
Team. If you have any questions or feedback, please respond to this
report or contact us on #redhat-cpe channel on libera.chat
(https://libera.chat/)
There was a hiatus for some time, expect this weekly from now on!

## Infrastructure & Release Engineering
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding
CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work.
It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS
infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release
(mirrors, mass branching, new namespaces etc.). The ARC (which is a
subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might
take on.
Update
------
### Hardware Updates
* Warranty renewal season for both Fedora and CentOS Infra, which
means we are looking at the hardware that needs attention.
### Fedora Infra
* Infra and Releng team is working with other initiatives team members
to handover maintenance tasks
* Started moving forward again on updating our dnssec keys
* Issues with openqa-x86-worker04 machine ongoing
* Planning a mass update/reboot cycle next week tentatively
* 66 issues open (many to close as the freeze lifted)
### CentOS Infra
* https://sigs.centos.org announced on the centos-devel list
* Updated ci.centos.org Jenkins to comply with security compliance
* Collaboration with Stream team for infra tasks (including for beaker/ftp)
* Business as usual
* New tags in cbs/koji (automotive, cloud)
* New projects on git.centos.org
### Release Engineering
* Fedora 35 Beta out the door! Freeze ended
## CentOS Stream
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
This initiative is working on CentOS Stream/Emerging RHEL to make this
new distribution a reality. The goal of this initiative is to prepare
the ecosystem for the new CentOS Stream.
Updates
-------
* Working on Content Resolver buildroot logic integration
* Metalinks for CentOS Stream 9 mirrors works now
* An updated centos-release package exercising the new mirror infra is
built, we expect it to be composed in the next couple of days
* Starting some investigations to help maintainers work with GitLab
* Reworking some of the protocols that we announce internally for our
composes (Beaker needs to pull the composes via FTP or tftp)
## Datanommer/Datagrepper
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
These apps are currently used to retrieve historical information about
messages on the fedmsg bus and add them to a Postgres database.
Datanommer reads-in messages from the bus and stores them in the
database and Datagrepper exposes the messages in the database via an
API with different filtering capacities. We want to upgrade these
applications to use fedora-messaging and increase the performance of
the applications for users.
Updates
-------
* Import script is still running, the ETA of ~2 months seems to be confirmed
* We’re doing the finishing touches to code
## Metrics for Apps on OpenShift
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
The project team will deliver on the installation of newest OpenShift
in Fedora infra to be then configured with prometheus so applications
can be hooked into this service and can be monitored and metricized
through this tech stack for more comprehensive understanding of app
behaviour, performance and troubleshooting.
Updates
-------
* A lot of work in docs - SOP docs merged
https://pagure.io/infra-docs-fpo/pull-request/8
* We’ve enabled the user-workload-monitoring stack on the staging
cluster, and began documenting it
* We’ve disabled the default permissions that users get when they
login on the staging cluster and started documenting that too
* A few things are not quite right like network interfaces, but we
have the basic production cluster up and running
* Working to get the web console working, but in the meantime can use
the CLI on the os-control01 node:
https://console-openshift-console.apps.ocp.fedoraproject.org/
## DNF Counting
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
The DNF Counting project will enhance the currently existing program
that captures a ‘countme’ value from computers running Fedora weekly.
There are multiple scripts running from a server which parses the data
into a csv file for graphing and displaying trends that had been
misbehaving a lot. This program gives a good indication for how many
computers use Fedora so the project team will work on improving these
scripts and the program overall to make it a more reliable and
maintainable solution.
Updates
-------
* Finishing off last tests
* More deployment cleanup
* Investigate why our cronjobs are so noisy (ongoing)
* Ongoing work on documentation:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/infra/sysadmin_guide/dnf-counting/
Kindest regards & on behalf of the CPE team,

October 2021 Quarterly report submitted by: Jefro Osier-Mixon, Red Hat -
acting chair
_____________________________________
Membership update (members added, removed. Chair changes.)
This SIG is new, and as such does not have a formal membership process yet.
The mailing list currently has xx subscribers representing at least yy
companies. I have been asked to act as chair for the first few months in
order to stabilize the SIG.
_____________________________________
Releases in the most recent …
[View More]quarter (or most recent release, if none in
that quarter)
The SIG is not yet creating builds or publishing releases, but we hope to
do so in the next quarter.
_____________________________________
Health report and general activity narrative.
The SIG has had two public meetings since approval, each with roughly 40
attendees representing at least 8 separate organizations. We feel this is a
good start at corporate community diversity but will continue to work
toward a community-driven project that is not dominated by Red Hat - this
is intended to be a community effort with contributions and shared benefits
from all participants. One notable participant is the Automotive Grade
Linux project (AGL). Also noted are several OEM automakers and a few tier-1
suppliers, so interest is clearly piqued.
Several RH employees are working on the first contribution to the project
as well as the infrastructure required to build and test it. There is
confidence we will be building software in Q4 and hope to have an initial
release of an Automotive CentOS variant in Q1 2022.
_____________________________________
Issues for the board to address, if any
None, keep up the excellent work :)
