FOSDEM Distros Devroom CFP
by Shaun McCance 04 Nov '25

04 Nov '25

The Distributions Devroom is returning to FOSDEM for a full day of distribution-related content in Brussels on Sunday, February 1, 2026. The Distros Devroom organizers are happy to share that the call for proposals is now open, and will be accepting proposals until December 5. Read on to learn more about this devroom, what topics we want to see, and how you can submit. ## Important Dates * Now - Call for Participation opens * December 1 - Call for Participation ends * December 5 - Speakers notified * December 12 - Deadline for speakers to confirm * December 15 - Schedule published * February 1 - Distros Devroom at FOSDEM ## Call for Proposals Please submit your talk proposals using the FOSDEM CFP submission page: https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2026/cfp Your submission must include the following information: * Proposal title * Session (chose Talk) * Track (choose Distributions from the drop-down menu) * Abstract (as you would like it to appear publicly, 100-250 words) By default, all talks are 25 minutes, incuding time for Q+A. Occasionally, we may provide longer time slots for deep dives that are broadly interesting. If you think your talk should be considered for a longer time slot, explain why in the Submission Notes. ## Themes We're interested in talks on a number of topics, including: * Technologies for package management, automated testing, and release deployment * Long term maintenance and backporting security updates * Evaluating upstream components for secure supply chains * Developments in image-based operating systems and container base images * Delivering multiple-architecture or architecture-agnostic software. * Building commmunity around distributions. * Emerging technologies in the Linux ecosystem. The audience for the Distributions Devroom is primarily contributors and developers of Linux distributions. We may accept a limited amount of content with a focus on end users, but most user-focused content better fits in other devrooms or events. We look forward to new and interesting submissions. ## About the Distributions Devroom Linux distributions are critical digital infrastructure in the 2020s. They remain an important fixture even as our expectations of how they work and support workloads has evolved over the decades. Linux distributions do important work in ensuring various versions of upstream software work well together and can co-exist. They have become the centerpiece of other important infrastructure projects like containers and container orchestration software. The Distributions Devroom provides a unique home for the convergence of several different Linux distribution communities to share ideas and start conversations that matter to all of us. Although there are several different distributions that have different approaches to software packaging, choice of desktop environments, and various use cases, the Distributions Devroom is a historic open forum that is unique to FOSDEM in making a space for all of our communities to share and learn from each other. The Distributions Devroom organizers can be reached at <distributions-devroom(a)lists.fosdem.org>. ## About FOSDEM FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. FOSDEM hosts dozens of developer rooms, where community members run tracks on various topics.

[Infra] - Planned outage : lists.centos.org (Nov 4th)
by Fabian Arrotin 04 Nov '25

04 Nov '25

Due to a DC move, we'll have to migrate the existing CentOS mail server/mailing list server (aka https://lists.centos.org) to a new server. Migration is scheduled for """"Tuesday November 4th, 8:00 am UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2025-11-04 08:00 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~15 minutes , time needed to : - backup/restore last mysql dump - synchronize mailman3 archives (hyperkitty) - verify service and switch DNS to point to new host. Thanks for your understanding and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

CentOS Infra DC move status : ready to go !
by Fabian Arrotin 31 Oct '25

31 Oct '25

hi all, As announced some months ago, majority of (centralized and sponsored by Red Hat) CentOS infra has to move from current DC (RDU2 - aka "Community Cage") to RDU3. That's where our friends (and colleagues) from Fedora recently migrated to some months ago. It's so now our turn and we worked with DC/Network team[s] to have all ready and be in a position where we'd be able to move/migrate all services from one DC to the other. Some services are already migrated and running from new DC (or from the Cloud), but we haven't announced these changes, as it had no impact in the way you (SIGs developers) are interacting with these services. For example, the whole CentOS CI infra (all components) are now running exclusively from AWS (special note : we'll have from new DC a tunnel to offer - as it was in the past - some ppc64le instances for duffy). Same for our MQTT broker and some other services (running now from RDU3) We already started to replicate our storage used in RDU2 to RDU3 (mainly for koji share volume for cbs.centos.org) and it's all on track. We'll though announce in the next days/weeks some changes like : - lookaside cache server migration (https://src.sigs.centos.org/) - https://lists.centos.org mailman3 server (https//lists.stg.centos.org test instance is already running from new DC) - https://cbs.centos.org Worth knowing that for CBS, we'll shift more to hybrid cloud model, so we'll have some "on prem" machines, but we'll also extend to AWS (for x86_64 and aarch64) for compute capacity. Also good to know that we collaborated with Fedora (running from same DC but different VLANs) to share some IBM Power 10 , so once migrated koji builders for ppc64le will be running on Power 10 (instead of Power 9). There is also a (pending) ticket about adding native risc-v builders to cbs, mainly to bootstrap publicly centos stream 10 but then available also for SIGs/community members (once there will be something usage), so adding another arch on our koji build infra (so we'll be supporting x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, s390x and risc-v) So stay tuned for more information to come about each of these services in the following days. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

CentOS Connect
by Shaun McCance 24 Oct '25

24 Oct '25

Hi folks, We've announced CentOS Connect for January 29-30, 2026, in Brussels, Belgium. As usual, this is the two days before FOSDEM. https://www.centos.org/events/connect/ The CFP and registration are now open. Registration is free, but we really need you to register to help us plan. Details are on the website. We have a hotel room block, but don't have booking link just yet. Check back next week. We're looking into some options for a reception, which could be on the Thursday or Friday. If you attended last year, you might remember our waffle party. That was a blast, but we completely filled the place with no room to grow. Stay tuned. We'll also hold a docs day on Monday, February 2, the day after FOSDEM. We've done this the last few years. This is a working session to hack on the website and docs. If you want to join, get in touch with the Docs SIG at sig-docs(a)centosproject.org . Let me know if you have any question. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you in Brussels again. Thanks, Shaun

New external-repo available in CBS - epel10z
by Greg Sutcliffe 10 Oct '25

10 Oct '25

Hey folks, Recently, we got a request to add an `epel10z` external-repo to Koji - you can check [1] for details on the longer background, but the short version is that EPEL has shifted to Stream by default, and so they have a corresponding EPEL branch that tracks RHEL major.minor (that is, epel10 = CentOS Stream 10, and epel10z = current RHEL 10.minor). You can see this in the EPEL 10 repo file [2], resolving to `epel/10z` for RHEL 10 builds. We've added the external-repo to Koji, and made it available: ``` $ cbs list-external-repos|grep z epel10z http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/10z/Everything/$arch/ $ cbs taginfo kmods10-repos-main-el10-build | grep epel10z 20 epel10z (http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/10z/Everything/$arch/, merge mode: bare), arches: inherited from tag ``` If this is something your tag(s) want to use, please open a ticket [3] as usual. Thanks! Greg PS. Hi from the new sysadmin on the team :P [1]: https://gitlab.com/CentOS/infra/tracker/-/issues/1764#note_2772662368 [2]: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-release/blob/epel10/f/epel.repo#_5 [3]: https://gitlab.com/CentOS/infra/tracker/-/issues/new?type=ISSUE -- Greg Sutcliffe CentOS & Fedora Sysadmin CLE Team, Red Hat
