The recording of the December CentOS Board meeting is now available. Recording: https://youtu.be/8ficzt0l-xo Minutes: https://hackmd.io/@centosboard/S1ta-46Xkx Recap: https://blog.centos.org/2024/12/centos-board-meeting-recap-december-2024/ The recording has timestamps so you can skip to the parts that interest you. Here are a few highlights of the meeting: * Firefox is not in CentOS Stream 10. We discussed ways of getting web browsers, and documenting them. * The board discussed disabling GitLab Duo on CentOS repositories. * The community architect provided an update on CentOS Connect and the efforts to revamp the web and docs. * The board discussed encouraging SIGs to use GitLab by default. Thanks, Shaun

Proposal to default to GitLab for SIG packaging
by Davide Cavalca 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

In the last Board meeting we discussed the future of git.centos.org, and whether it would make sense to encourage SIGs to move over to GitLab, as we already have a group at gitlab.com/centos and that's where CentOS Stream development is happening (under gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream). GitLab also provides features (notably, CI integration via Pipelines and an improved code review flow) that some SIGs would like to use and would benefit from. To this end, I have filed https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/129 to summarize the discussion and decide the next steps. We'd welcome any comments and feedback on this. To be clear, there are no plans to sunset git.centos.org at this time. Cheers Davide

CentOS bootc images - Where should they go
by Troy Dawson 08 Dec '24

08 Dec '24

The CentOS Alternative Images SIG has recently been asked about making CentOS bootc images.[1] Investigation is showing that we should be able to. But that leads to the next question. After we build them, where would they go? (A) Initial thoughts are someplace in the CentOS SIG infrastructure. But there currently isn't anything setup for serving containers. It's also not the first place people would look. I was thinking of having them on quay.io. But if we do publish our bootc/container images on quay.io, where? (B) centos:<some-name> ? That would mean that the SIG's would have access to that account. I also don't know what we would have for <some-name>. We would have to have something different for each SIG. (C) centos-sig:<some-name> ? The SIG's would still have to share authentication in some manner. I still don't know what to do for the names. (D) centos-<sig-name>:<some-name> The SIG's would have their own authentication. The sig's would have control of their own naming convention. centos-altimages:stream10-bootc centos-altimages:stream10-bootc-kde centos-isa:stream9-bootc-baseline centos-isa:stream9-bootc-optimized There are some drawbacks for this. Someone would have to know the SIG name to find the image. Possibly other things. I personally am leaning towards (D). But I could be persuaded towards the others. And it's possible I haven't even thought of the correct solution. Ideas / thoughts / comments welcomed and wanted. Troy [1] - https://pagure.io/centos-sig-alt-images/sig/issue/10
