Hi Everyone,
Our next board meeting will take place at 20:00 UTC tomorrow:
`date -d "2023-05-10 20:00 UTC"`
If you would like to attend please send me an email to
alphacc(a)centosproject.org ( please do not reply to @centos-devel or use
another email address) and you will receive a link to a Zoom meeting
room with a passcode, 1 hour before the meeting takes place.
The agenda can be checked at (work in progress) :
https://hackmd.io/@centosboard/SkDqdm_En
As a reminder we will enforce few rules :
* 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/redaction, 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.
I hope some of you can join.
Sorry for the late announcement.
thanks,

The CentOS password reset procedure email is sent from:

Does this mean that the password reset affects FAS as well?
Thanks,

Until today, we were using old ThunderX1 aarch64 machines as kojid
builders but today I replaced two (out of three) aarch64 with ThunderX2
machines (decommissioned from old koji.mbox setup used for stream 8
builds, now merged with stream 9 build infra), so clearly faster (not as
fast as $currently available aarch64 builders but better than what we
had previously)
See ticket : https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/1135
FWIW, we directly saw a faster build for samba today (see details in
ticket).
Should you encounter any issue, feel free to raise an infra ticket at
usual place (https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues)
Kind Regards,

Hightlights of the recap:
* The Board discussed the x86 SIG proposal with Florian Weimer.
There's a general agreement that we want the SIG, but some differences
on the scope of work, which affects the name.
* CentOS Linux 7 and CentOS Stream 8 will both reach end of life in
2024. We're working on messaging to ensure everybody has time to
migrate. (Issue 93)
* We discussed the next steps in allowing SIGs to sign test
repositories. (Issue 92)
* We talked about our presence at Red Hat Summit, as well as plans for
events throughout the year.

Pythno 3.11 and some modules have appeared in CentOS Stream 8 appstream.
However I don't see python3.11-devel and the other modules that are in
CentOS Stream 9 crb in CS8 powertools. I do see them in CS9 koji.
Is this just an oversight or some kind of lag? Or is this intentional?
It will make it impossible for EPEL to build needed modules for EPEL 8.
I've also commented in the python 3.11 RFE here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2137139
Thanks for any information.
