[Introduction] Social Media Policies for CentOS
by Brian Proffitt 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Hello to all: My name is Brian Proffitt, a social media and community analyst with Red Hat. The main focus of my work is to assist free and open source software projects with which Red Hat is involved to improve their social media planning and execution. CentOS has a broad and diverse social media implementation, which I believe could be improved using a coordinated set of guidelines regarding content discovery and delivery, as well as engagement with the different audiences found in various social media channels. To that end, I would like to begin a conversation here with interested members of the CentOS community and its Moderators Group to see what resources are needed, what improvements could be made, and how CentOS' social media could become an even more powerful tool within and without the CentOS community. The information attached is a first-step proposal to get such a conversation started. I look forward to the discussion! Peace, Brian Proffitt -- Principal Community Analyst Open Source and Standards bkp(a)redhat.com +1.574.383.9BKP

Adding geo distributed builder hardware for cbs.centos.org
by Karanbir Singh 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

hi, What are the main concerns for hosting some builder hardware geo-distributed from the main koji hub ? Apart from the latency thing, but given that most builders spend all their time in mock root builds and then the rpmbuild, if we can get gbit links to the remote machines, we should be ok right ? regards, -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

I’ve been unable to find the build scripts used to create the CentOS 7 AMIs. I have found them for docker, vagrant, and I believe openstack. Can those please be published? — Brian Lalor blalor(a)bravo5.org

Working Documentation Toolchain [GSoC]
by kunaal jain 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, The basic toolchain is up and running. I encourage community to test this workflow once. It is an addition to the existing contributing mediums. Site: http://clown-olga-13325.bitballoon.com/ Contributing Docs repo : https://github.com/kunaaljain/test-centos-docs ==AIM== Initial Idea : http://wiki.centos.org/GSoC/2015/Ideas#docs-toolchain The CentOS Project needs more short-form contributions of content that focuses on how-to do things on top of a CentOS Linux installation, with a method to push changes in to appropriate and related upstream open source projects. There is a lot of content scattered across the Internet on how to do things with CentOS Linux. The goal of this toolchain is to make it easy for people to contribute new, short-form content articles to the Project with an ability to push them outward to relevant upstream projects. ==Workflow== 1. The user authors content in markdown format and creates a pull request on Github. 2. The backend service mirrors the pull request to pagure and creates a issue. 3. The doc is built and a link is provided to preview the doc. 5. Staff reviews the docs, gives comments either on pagure or github (two way synced) 4. Once the staff approves the doc is built and doc site updated. ==Infra== 1. A backend server listing to Github and Pagure webhooks and mirroring content. 2. A http site displaying the temporary docs. 3. A pagure instance ==Testing == 1. Fork the https://github.com/kunaaljain/test-centos-docs 2. Add new content to docs folder in mardown language. 3. Update the mkdocs.yml file and add the new file you just created with appropriate heading. 4. Create a pull request. 5. Within 15-20 seconds, a comment will be made on pull request, with the pagure link, which displaying various metadata. 6. Once the staff approves, PR is merged and site updated at http://clown-olga-13325.bitballoon.com/ -- Regards, Kunaal Jain

Testing CentOS as a hypervisor in different scenarios
by Karanbir Singh 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, this has come up in a few conversations, and its worth looking into. Various efforts including the CentOS Cloud Instance SIG, would like to test their VM instances under a CentOS 6/7 hypervisor setup. I am sure the Virt SIG guys would like to also have these VM instances tested on hypervisors and environments they curate. Whats the best way to move forward on this ? I am going to propose asking the various efforts ( eg. cloud sig, virt sig ) to help setup the environments like openstack, centos-kvm, centos-xen, ovirt etc; and provide a single mechanism that can be used via jenkins at ci.centos.org to grab, test, report on machine instance states. The cycle would need to run via triggers at ci.centos.org, and it would ideally be run for the entire set of environments we can bring up. thoughts ? -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

[NFV SIG][CBS]Understanding a bit more the NFV SIG builds and repos
by Joseph Gasparakis 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hi all, I finally put some time aside to move forward with building RPMs for DPDK 2.0 for the CentOS NFV SIG. In particular, I used pretty much the same spec file from Red Hat (made sure the RPM release matches what CBS expects for release) and I created package dpdk-2.0.0-1.el7.centos with buildID 1476. I am guessing I really should have built dpdk-2.0.0-8.el7.centos as I have kept all the changelog intact which goes up to number 8, and also keep it in sync with the Red Hat version? Any comments on that? Then my next question is that I noticed that following my successful build, kojira created task 16722 in order to create a new repo, which makes sense. According to that, since my RPM has tag nfv7-common-el7-build the dpdk rpm should apear on centos7-updates external repo, right? Following to this (and if I am right so far) shouldn't there be a specific repo for NFV SIG instead of centos7-updates which is a standard external repo? I have some more questions, but I will pause here if someone could shed some lights, that would be great. Thanks Joseph

Adding midonet-release to CentOS Extras (as a CATPR?)
by Sandro Mathys 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Dear all, We, the MidoNet community [0], would like to include a midonet-release (or similarly named) package with the required yum repo files into CentOS Extras - similar to epel-release or centos-openstack-release packages in the same repo. For reference, our repos live at [1]. MidoNet is a network virtualization software and while our main focus is currently OpenStack, other use cases exist and will get more attention in future (mostly containers I guess) - which is why we would like to be included in CentOS Extras and not just in centos-openstack/rdo repos (if these accept release packages at all). I asked in #centos about this and was pointed here, so I hope someone can tell me what the process for this would look like and how to get started with it. I was told that IUS is undergoing the same process but couldn't find any information about this. I was also pointed to the "CATPR" guidelines [2] which I found to likely still being in draft status [3] but it should be no problem to fulfill the given requirements. We're only providing add-on packages and we have a bug tracker to report issues [4]. Cheers, Sandro Mathys MidoNet Community Manager [0] https://www.midonet.org/ [1] http://repo.midonet.org/ [2] https://gist.github.com/carlgeorge/ae71d54c99d3536ee352 [3] http://wiki.centos.org/CarlGeorge/CATPR [4] https://midonet.atlassian.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa
