RFC (Request for Comments) : future of lists.centos.org (aka centos mailing-lists)
by Fabian Arrotin 14 May '23

14 May '23

Let's chat about centos mailing lists ! https://lists.centos.org is powered by mailman package, available in CentOS 7 , itself going EOL next year. There is no packaged (yet) mailman3 stack (more components than simple mailman 2 stack). Options : # use mailman2 package from RHEL8 That means (in theory) that we can just reinstall the machine with RHEL8, and use the package that is available in AppStream repository: mailman.x86_64 3:2.1.29-12.module+el8.5.0+13466+327eb9f3.2 Normally that should be more or less (to be tested though) transparent migration, but as that module is still relying on python2 itself, we don't know when it will itself go EOL in RHEL8 (BaseOS should be 10y but apps in AppStream can have a shorter TTL) # migrate to mailman3 Clearly much more work to do including see if the mailman3 stack maintainer can branch to epel9 and then we can reuse it. Also time to investigate how to import previous archives from mailman2 to mailman3 but should be doable (needs time to investigate and a PoC) # something else ? All comments, opinions are welcome and let's discuss it in advance and not wait next year when machine will be powered off Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

RFC (Request for Comments) : future of bugs.centos.org
by Fabian Arrotin 10 May '23

10 May '23

Let's discuss https://bugs.centos.org ! For a long time, we used to only have one public tracker , powered by MantisBT (https://mantisbt.org/) , and it was https://bugs.centos.org Due to various changes in the CentOS ecosystem in the last years, some categories were removed/migrated elsewhere : - CentOS infra tracker : https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues - CentOS Stream : https://bugzilla.redhat.com Some other SIGs also started to have (and document) their own tracker (see https://wiki.centos.org/ReportBugs) So the question is : while we can easily migrate bugs.centos.org to el9, should we ? All comments/remarks are welcome, and let's have a plan about what to do Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

2023-05-10 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 09 May '23

09 May '23

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, -- Thomas 'alphacc' Oulevey CentOS Board of Directors Secretary alphacc(a)centosproject.org

FYI : Faster aarch64 builders for SIGs (cbs.centos.org)
by Fabian Arrotin 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

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, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

RDO Antelope Released
by Amy Marrich 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack 2023.1 Antelope for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Antelope is the 27th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1,000 contributors from around the world. 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-antelo… 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/antelope/highlights.html but here are some highlights: - The continuation of SRBAC and FIPS to make OpenStack a more secure platform across various services, along with additional support in images. - Additional drivers and features for Block Storage to support more technologies from vendors such as Dell, Hitachi and NetApp, among others. - DNS Zones that can now be shared with other tenants (projects) allowing them to create and manage recordsets within the Zone. - Networking port forwarding was added to the dashboard for Floating IPs. - Additional networking features to support OVN. - Compute now allows PCI devices to be scheduled via the Placement API and power consumption can be managed for dedicated CPUs. - Load balancing now allows users to enable cpu-pinning. - Community testing of compatibility between non-adjacent upstream versions. OpenStack Antelope is the first release marked as Skip Level Upgrade Release Process or SLURP. According to this model ( https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20220210-release-cadence-ad…) this means that upgrades will be supported between these (SLURP) releases, in addition to between adjacent major releases. *TripleO removal in the RDO Antelope release:* During the Antelope cycle, The TripleO team communicated the decision of abandoning the development of the project and deprecating the master branches. According to that upstream decision, TripleO packages have been removed from the RDO distribution and will not be included in the Antelope release. *Contributors* During the Zed cycle, we saw the following new RDO contributors: - Adrian Fusco Arnejo - Bhagyashri Shewale - Eduardo Olivares - Elvira Garcia Ruiz - Enrique Vallespí - Jason Paroly - Juan Badia Payno - Karthik Sundaravel - Roberto Alfieri - Tom Weininger 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 *52* contributors who participated in producing this release. This list includes commits to rdo-packages, rdo-infra, and rdo-website repositories: - Adrian Fusco Arnejo - Alan Pevec - Alfredo Moralejo Alonso - Amol Kahat - Amy Marrich - Ananya Banerjee - Artom Lifshitz - Arx Cruz - Bhagyashri Shewale - Cédric Jeanneret - Chandan Kumar - Daniel Pawlik - Dariusz Smigiel - Dmitry Tantsur - Douglas Viroel - Eduardo Olivares - Elvira Garcia Ruiz - Emma Foley - Eric Harney - Enrique Vallespí - Fabien Boucher - Harald Jensas - Jakob Meng - Jason Paroly - Jesse Pretorius - Jiří Podivín - Joel Capitao - Juan Badia Payno - Julia Kreger - Karolina Kula - Karthik Sundaravel - Leif Madsen - Luigi Toscano - Luis Tomas Bolivar - Marios Andreou - Martin Kopec - Matthias Runge - Matthieu Huin - Nicolas Hicher - Pooja Jadhav - Rabi Mishra - Riccardo Pittau - Roberto Alfieri - Ronelle Landy - Sandeep Yadav - Sean Mooney - Slawomir Kaplonski - Steve Baker - Takashi Kajinami - Tobias Urdin - Tom Weininger - Yatin Karel *The Next Release Cycle* At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next release i.e Bobcat. *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 IRC channels (#centos, #centos-cloud, and #centos-devel in Libera.Chat network), 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 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/>
