Proposal for documentation layout on docs.centos.org
by Aleksandra Fedorova 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hi, folks, I was playing with the ways to organize the CentOS Documentation site and came up with the following proposal: https://hackmd.io/@bookwar/centos-docs-layout The link has more details but in short we need three categories of content: * User Documentation: everything about installing and administering the CentOS system. Large guides go here, as well as small Knowledge Base articles. * Project Documentation: All about processes and policies of the CentOS Project. * SIGs documentation: Documentation subtrees maintained by each Special Interest group on their own. Note that by SIG docs here I mean documentation written and owned by individual special interest groups. The current SIG Guide (https://sigs.centos.org/guide/) belongs to the "Project Documentation" section in this hierarchy. Each top-level item is then expanded to more sub-levels. For many of the items mentioned in the proposal we do not have the content written yet. But if we agree on the layout, we can start by rearranging existing documents to fit the hierarchy. Then we will be able to use the proposed map for any new content, which we add in the future. -- Aleksandra Fedorova Matrix: @bookwar:fedora.im Fediverse: @bookwar@fosstodon.org

[centos-website-artwork] Request for feedback about base/default layout
by Alain Reguera Delgado 30 Aug '23

30 Aug '23

Hi, There is some documentation in progress about "base/default" layout, the default layout that jekyll-theme-centos will be using to render content. You can check it on the following URL: https://centos.gitlab.io/artwork/centos-web/jekyll-theme-centos-base/docume… This page is also an example of how the content presentation looks like when you use the "base/default" layout in your site. I would like to request some feedback from you about the "base/default" layout features and visual presentation as well. Appreciate your comments and concerns here. Thanks! -- Alain Reguera Delgado <alain.reguera(a)gmail.com>

[REPORT] Quarterly Report - CentOS Automotive SIG
by Jeffrey Osier-Mixon 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

January 2023 Quarterly report submitted by: Jefro Osier-Mixon, Red Hat - chair _____________________________________ Membership update This SIG does not have a formal membership process. The mailing list currently has 106 subscribers representing at least 32 organizations, though not all subscribers use corporate emails and some are participating as individuals. _____________________________________ Releases in the most recent quarter (or most recent release, if none in that quarter) The Automotive SIG produces three types of artifacts: - AutoSD, a streaming distribution of CentOS designed for in-vehicle automotive use cases. - An Automotive SIG RPM repository that allows the community to expand the content of AutoSD or experiment with some of its parts. - Sample images, built using OSBuild, which provide examples of how to assemble production images based on AutoSD, customized for some hardware, including container images, based on CoreOS/ostree technologies. AutoSD, or Automotive Stream Distribution, is a streaming distribution for automotive in-vehicle software development based on CentOS Stream. It is transparently the upstream project for Red Hat's eventual in-vehicle OS product. AutoSD has been downloaded and used by many organizations who have commented or asked for help, so we know it is getting some traction though of course we don't have exact metrics on usage. In Q4 2022, we released a version of AutoSD compatible with the emerging SOAFEE specification. SOAFEE (https://soafee.io) is an initiative driven by Arm for the purpose of developing a reference specification for Arm-based software-defined vehicles (SDVs) consisting of an operating system, container orchestration strategy, and application layer. In addition, we introduced a very lightweight container runtime based on podman and systemd that does not include Kubernetes, as the latter represented a significant performance hit on all relevant hardware. We presented at the Arm Developer Summit in November on these topics. In the coming quarter, we plan to tighten up documentation, begin a process for accepting and supporting hardware enablement contributions, and continue to develop AutoSD toward the SOAFEE specification while also contributing to that specification within the SOAFEE community. _____________________________________ Health report and general activity narrative The SIG typically has 1 public meeting per month with 25-40 attendees, with visible participation from 7-10 separate organizations. We have largely given up on a separate office hours meeting due to attendance. This SIG is intended to be a community effort with contributions and shared benefits from all participants. All formal meetings are recorded and posted on this page: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Automotive/Meetings Several Red Hat employees made the initial contributions to the project as well as the infrastructure required to build and test it. We occupy a gitlab repository in the CentOS namespace building software regularly using CI, with build instructions provided on the documentation page at https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/ . Sample images are present and downloadable along with customization and build instructions. _____________________________________ Issues for the board to address, if any None, keep up the excellent work :) Jeffrey "Jefro" Osier-Mixon | jefro(a)redhat.com Red Hat Office of the CTO | Sr. Principal Community Architect, Automotive

2023-08-09 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 20:00 UTC on Wednesday: `date -d "2023-08-09 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/r14tdu5j2 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, -- Thomas 'alphacc' Oulevey CentOS Board of Directors Secretary alphacc(a)centosproject.org

[ISA SIG] Meeting notes 2023-07-21
by Florian Weimer 03 Aug '23

03 Aug '23

I forgot to post the minutes immediately after the meeting. Key points discussed were: So far, there is no round of new rebuilds with GCC 13 scheduled. The recommended way for installation remains starting out with CentOS Stream and using dnf distro-sync. See <https://sigs.centos.org/isa/consuming/centosstream9/>. Starting with RHEL 9.2 results in cross-grade issues. If the update from c9s breaks, we may have to rebuild some more packages. Thanks, Florian

[Infra] - Planned outage : cbs.centos.org
by Fabian Arrotin 03 Aug '23

03 Aug '23

Due to a hardware replacement and storage reorg, we'll have to move the existing CentOS Community Build System (aka https://cbs.centos.org) to a new node. Migration is scheduled for """"Thursday August 3rd, 6:30 am UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2023-08-03 06:30 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~45 minutes , time needed to : - stop kojid instances - move kojihub instance and restore data - reconfigure kojid builders to point to new storage location 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]

[t_functional sig] Tests management with TMT
by Carlos Rodriguez-Fernandez 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Hi, Is there any interest or already a plan to convert the test management of the t_functional tests to TMT (https://github.com/teemtee/tmt)? I see that packit.dev and tmt is where fedora is trying to go instead of zuul ci, and also I saw the email from the cloud sig about adopting packit.dev. I was wondering how it will impact t_functional. I have been playing with it and seems like a good tool for the job. Regards, Carlos.
