Hi folks, I've published the recording and recap of the December board meeting, rather late due to holiday delays. Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX2CmpT2hKY Minutes: https://hackmd.io/@centosboard/BydfmUCNi Recap: https://blog.centos.org/2023/01/centos-board-meeting-recap-december-2022/ Here's a copy-pasta of the recap highligts for your mailing list reading pleasure: * Issue 85: The Board likes the vision statement written by Pat Riehecky. It will be sent to the centos-devel mailing list and adopted if there are no objections. * CentOS Connect is February 3 in Brussels, the day before FOSDEM. Amy Marrich reminded people to submit talk proposals, but as of this blog post, the accepted talks and full schedule have already been announced. * Issue 90: There was a discussion about account names for SIG to publish images on Quay. Discussion is ongoing on the issue. The Hyperscale SIG has adopted an account naming strategy for various services, which we may use as a recommendation for other SIGs. -- Shaun McCance CentOS Community Architect Red Hat Open Source Program Office

Fedora/CentOS planned outage 2022-12-08 19:00 UTC
by Stephen Smoogen 10 Jan '23

10 Jan '23

lanned Outage - IAD2 Outage - 2022-12-08 19:00 UTC There will be an outage starting at 2022-12-08 19:00 UTC, which will last approximately 4 hours. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2022-12-08 19:00 UTC' Reason for outage: There will be a multi hour outage as a hardware firewall is changed out of the IAD2 data center where most Fedora systems are housed. Outages should be in short cycles as the firewall is changed over to new hardware and rules are tested and confirmed. Affected Services: Most Fedora and CentOS Services will be affected Build systems for s390x will need to be restarted as NFS will break Builds in CentOS Stream and other infrastructure will be blocked during this time. Ticket Link: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/NNNN Please join #fedora-admin or #fedora-noc on irc.libera.chat or add comments to the ticket for this outage above. -- Stephen Smoogen, Red Hat Automotive Let us be kind to one another, for most of us are fighting a hard battle. -- Ian MacClaren

Proposal: CentOS Public Board Meetings
by Rich Bowen 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

In January of 2021, the CentOS Board of Directors opened our monthly meetings to all SIG chairs, in a first step towards more transparent governance. We wanted to see how the larger audience changed the meeting dynamics, if at all, as well as welcoming a broader pool of voices. We are now ready for the second part of this process. Starting in the August meeting, we will be inviting the entire CentOS community to attend these meetings. Due to the nature of the Internet, we won’t be simply publishing the meeting URL, as this often leads to disruptive behavior in meetings, as I am sure many of you have experienced. Rather, in the week before the meeting, we’ll send, to this list, a way to request an invitation to the meeting. In this way, we hope to limit the incidence of such disruptions, while also making the meeting available to anyone who wishes to attend. We will be working on the rules of engagement for these meetings, but they will be, at minimum: * Wait to be recognized by the Chair before speaking * Respect the Chair when told your time to speak is over - this will allow us to remain on agenda, and complete the meetings in the allotted time * In the event that there are Board-confidential topics, these will be put at the end of the meeting, in Executive Session, and guests will be asked to leave. We hope to minimize these items, but they do sometimes happen. The most common scenarios in which this may happen are personnel issues, or information that Red Hat wishes to share with the Board, but is not yet public. * Muting of participants, or, in extreme situations, ejection from the meeting, is at the sole discretion of the Chair. * Meetings will be recorded, and published to YouTube (possibly with edits/redactions, as approved by the Directors). Thus, by joining the meeting you consent to have your presence at the meeting, and anything you say during the meeting, made public. Because there will seldom be time for Q&A during the meeting itself, we plan to add a post-meeting IRC office hours session for followup questions. This will probably be scheduled for a week after the board meeting, to allow time to publish meeting minutes We welcome your comments about the above proposal, and thank you all for your patience as we implement these changes to our governance process.

GTK 2 removal from RHEL 10+
by Tomáš Popela 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Hi everyone, I'm actually resending this again, as I've sent it here at the same time as to fedora-devel ( https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org…) but it probably never reached centos-devel as I'm not able to find it in archives. This is an early heads-up about GTK 2 removal from RHEL 10+ (the gtk2 package was marked as unwanted in ELN with https://github.com/minimization/content-resolver-input/commit/b6d44e496f46b…) The toolkit served us gratefully, but it starts to show its age with regards to modern technologies such as Wayland, HiDPI screens, HDR and others. In RHEL 10 the GTK 3 and GTK 4 will still continue to be available for everyone to use.
