by Shaun McCance 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

# FOSDEM 2023 Distributions Devroom - Call for Participation We're excited to announce that the Distributions Devroom is returning to FOSDEM 2023, in-person in Brussels for the full day on Sunday, February 5. The call for proposals is now open. ## About the Distributions Devroom The Distributions Devroom is run by and for the people who build, package, and contribute to distributions of Linux and other software. Distributions remain a critical part of modern IT infrastructure, whether running on bare metal or in containers, from supercomputers to edge deployments. The Distributions Devroom provides a forum to share best practices on the entire distribution lifecycle, from building and integration to long-term support and security fixes. ## Call for Proposals We welcome submissions targeted at contributors interested in issues unique to distributions, especially in the following topics: * Growing, participating, and working with communities around distributions * Automating building and testing to minimize human involvement * Cross-distribution collaboration on common issues * Distribution construction, installation, deployment, packaging, and content management * Balancing new code and active upstreams versus security updates and minimization of breaking changes * Delivering architecture-independent software * Working with vendors and including them in the community * The future of distributions and emerging trends * Non-engineering topics inside of distribution communities (e.g. documentation, marketing, internationalization, design, community operations, etc.) * Creating a secure supply chain by evaluating upstream components and providing a secure source for downstreams ## Important Dates * Submission Deadline: Dec 20th 2022 * Acceptance notifications: Dec 31th 2022 * Final schedule announcement: Jan 14th 2022 ## Process 1. Register a FOSDEM Pentabarf account[1] and sign in. 2. Visit the FOSDEM CFP[2] and click "Create Event". 3. Make sure "Track" is set to "Distributions devroom" for wranglers to receive your submission! 4. Complete the form with your presentation details. Make sure your submission has the following details: * Title * One-paragraph abstract * Longer description including the benefit of your talk to your target audience, including a definition of your target audience. * Approximate length / type of submission (talk, BoF, …) * Links to related websites/blogs/talk material (if any) [1] https://penta.fosdem.org/user/new_account [2] https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM23 ## 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. -- Thanks, Shaun McCance CentOS Community Architect

[CentOS Stream Infra] - Planned outage : koji build infra
by Fabian Arrotin 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

Due to a needed koji upgrade (from 1.26 to 1.30) and also various renewed TLS certificates rollout, we'll have to temporary freeze the CentOS Stream build environment and/or restart some services/api endpoints Impacted services: - https://kojihub.stream.centos.org (all services, also for mbs/odcs) - https://sources.stream.centos.org (lookaside cache server) Migration is scheduled for """"Friday November 25th, 1:30 pm UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2022-11-25 13:30 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to 30 minutes, time needed to : - stop kojihub and backup database - kojihub is upgraded by ansible role and postgresql db schema update to correct version - kojid builders are then also upgraded by ansible role You can also join us in either #centos-devel or #centos-stream irc channels on irc.libera.chat if you encounter any issue. Thanks for your understanding and patience. on behalf of the CentOS Stream Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

Alternative Images SIG - meeting time survey
by Troy Dawson 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

I have created a poll to help us figure out the best day and time to have our meetings. I did the times a bit to the extreme, from very very early for those on the U.S. west coast, to very very late for those in Europe. I sorta hope neither of those extremes are picked, but I figured it would be best to have everything. I have setup the poll for Monday through Friday. Just ignore the dates (14-18) associated with them. Here is the link. https://framadate.org/49adIbSCsZhmbjqm Troy Dawson

RDO Zed Released
by Amy Marrich 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Zed for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Zed is the 26th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1,000 contributors from around the world. As with the Upstream release, this release of RDO is dedicated to Ilya Etingof who was an upstream and RDO contributor. The release is already available for CentOS Stream 9 on the CentOS mirror network in: http://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/cloud/x86_64/openstack-zed/ The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Stream and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG. The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS users looking to build and maintain their own on-premise, public or hybrid clouds. All work on RDO and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack Platform, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first. The highlights of the broader upstream OpenStack project may be read via https://releases.openstack.org/zed/highlights.html *TripleO in the RDO Zed release:* Since the Xena development cycle, TripleO follows the Independent release model ( https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/tripleo-specs/specs/xena/tripleo-inde… ). For the Zed cycle, TripleO project will maintain and validate stable Zed branches. As for the rest of packages, RDO will update and publish the releases created during the maintenance cycle. *Contributors* During the Zed cycle, we saw the following new RDO contributors: - Miguel Garcia Cruces - Michael Johnson - René Ribaud - Paras Babbar - Maurício Harley - Jesse Pretorius - Francesco Pantano - Carlos Eduardo - Arun KV Welcome to all of you and Thank You So Much for participating! But we wouldn’t want to overlook anyone. A super massive Thank You to all *57* contributors who participated in producing this release. This list includes commits to rdo-packages, rdo-infra, and redhat-website repositories: - Adriano Vieira Petrich - Alan Bishop - Alan Pevec - Alfredo Moralejo Alonso - Amol Kahat - Amy Marrich - Ananya Banerjee - Arun KV - Arx Cruz - Bhagyashri Shewale - Carlos Eduardo - Chandan Kumar - Cédric Jeanneret - Daniel Pawlik - Dariusz Smigiel - Douglas Viroel - Emma Foley - Eric Harney - Fabien Boucher - Francesco Pantano - Gregory Thiemonge - Jakob Meng - Jesse Pretorius - Jiří Podivín - Joel Capitao - Jon Schlueter - Julia Kreger - Karolina Kula - Leif Madsen - Lon Hohberger - Luigi Toscano - Marios Andreou - Martin Kopec - Mathieu Bultel - Matthias Runge - Maurício Harley - Michael Johnson - Miguel Garcia Cruces - Nate Johnston - Nicolas Hicher - Paras Babbar - Pooja Jadhav - Rabi Mishra - Rafael Castillo - René Ribaud/780 - Riccardo Pittau - Ronelle Landy - Sagi Shnaidman - Sandeep Yadav - Sean Mooney - Shreshtha Joshi - Slawomir Kaplonski - Steve Baker - Takashi Kajinami - Tobias Urdin - Tristan De Cacqueray - Yatin Karel *The Next Release Cycle* At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next release i.e Antelope. *Get Started* To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware, try an All-In-One Packstack installation. You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works. Finally, for those that don’t have any hardware or physical resources, there’s the OpenStack Global Passport Program. This is a collaborative effort between OpenStack public cloud providers to let you experience the freedom, performance and interoperability of open source infrastructure. You can quickly and easily gain access to OpenStack infrastructure via trial programs from participating OpenStack public cloud providers around the world. *Get Help* The RDO Project has our users(a)lists.rdoproject.org for RDO-specific users and operators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org mailing list. Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailing lists archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org. You can also find extensive documentation on RDOproject.org. The #rdo channel on OFTC IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help. We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS devel mailing list and the CentOS and TripleO IRC channels (#centos, #centos-devel in Libera.Chat network, and #tripleo on OFTC), however we have a more focused audience within the RDO venues. *Get Involved* To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, check out the RDO contribute pages, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page, and inhale the RDO packaging documentation. Join us in #rdo and #tripleo on the OFTC IRC network and follow us on Twitter @RDOCommunity. You can also find us on Facebook and YouTube. *Amy Marrich* She/Her/Hers Principal Technical Marketing Manager - Cloud Platforms Red Hat, Inc <https://www.redhat.com/> amy(a)redhat.com Mobile: 954-818-0514 Slack: amarrich IRC: spotz <https://www.redhat.com/>

Connect at FOSDEM
by Shaun McCance 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

Going to FOSDEM? Here are three things to know: 1) We will have a CentOS Connect on February 3, the Friday before FOSDEM. I'm waiting on a required legal review of the contract before the full announcement. But I know people are already making travel plans, so please plan on the extra day. 2) There will be a Distributions Devroom at FOSDEM on Sunday. I'm one of the organizers. The CFP will land soon. 3) I'm considering a web+docs hackfest in Brussels, probably just a single day, unless people really want more. For me, it would have to happen the Monday after FOSDEM. We have a lot of web and docs revamp stuff in the air. We won't do it all, but we can make a concrete plan and take home action items. Let me know if you're interested. Let me know if you're interested in attending. Thanks, Shaun

Are CentOS Stream 8 package updates stalled?
by Greg Bailey 05 Nov '22

05 Nov '22

I've switched my CentOS Linux 8 workstation to CentOS Stream 8 quite some time ago, and haven't encountered too many issues doing so, but I'm curious as to why there haven't been any package updates that I can see in quite some time (since early October as far as I can see). With the new stream process, my understanding is that for feature and bugfix development, the process is: Git ---> CentOS Stream ---> RHEL (next minor version) But with security updates, it seems to be: Git ---> RHEL (current minor version) ---> RHEL rebuilds (Rocky, Alma, etc) I'm kind of surprised that my firefox and thunderbird builds still seem stuck at 91.13.0, when I've seen updates go by on the RHEL 8 channels with the newer firefox builds, etc. What is the flow for security updates to make it into CentOS Stream package repositories? Is there some documentation describing this that maybe I missed? I don't remember seeing this on the CPE newsletter either. Thanks, Greg
