by Troy Dawson 24 Apr '25

24 Apr '25

The CentOS Alternative Images SIG has released their April 2025 update of images. The download webpage links have been updated. [0] - Kinfocenter is now in the CentOS Stream 10 KDE Live images[1] - WSL images now have the minimal libraries needed to do graphics if GNOME graphical apps are installed. [2] - WSL images are now built the new way, almost. [3] You can now download one of this quarter's WSL images and install it with just "wsl --install --from-file <path to image>" -- Example: wsl --install --from-file ./CentOS-Stream-Image-WSL-Base.x86_64-9-202504070704.tar.xz CentOS Stream 9: Live Images: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/altimages/images/live/x86_64/ https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/altimages/images/live/aarch6… WSL Images: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/altimages/images/wsl/x86_64/ https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/altimages/images/wsl/aarch64/ CentOS Stream 10: Live Images: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/10-stream/altimages/images/live/x86_6… https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/10-stream/altimages/images/live/aarch… WSL Images: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/10-stream/altimages/images/wsl/x86_64/ https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/10-stream/altimages/images/wsl/aarch6… We hope these images are useful to you.

OpenQA instance for CentOS - current state and next steps
by Aleksandra Fedorova 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hi, folks, we have been discussing this feature for a while, but not officially. So let me bring this up for a wider audience: = Overview OpenQA is a test orchestration framework used by OpenSUSE and Fedora and it is more or less tailored to testing distribution images. There is a number of tests written by Fedora QA team which are being triggered on every nightly compose, and we would like to explore the possibility to run these tests in the CentOS project on CentOS images. Additionally there has been an open request from CentOS Alt Images and Hyperscale SIGs to provide the way to test their own images as well. We would like to address this need under the umbrella of the CentOS Integration SIG. = Plan 1) setup a dedicated OpenQA instance as close as possible to how Fedora OpenQA instance is deployed; 2) ensure that it can run at least one test from Fedora QA test suite on a standard CentOS Stream compose; 3) Offer interested parties (Hyperscale, Alt Images, Installer team at Red Hat..) to extend the functionality; 4) .. NOT in the plan: - To replace existing compose tests CentOS Stream. = What has been done Jan Scotka created a local proof-of-concept and is now ready to do the deployment. See details in https://gitlab.com/CentOS/Integration/general/-/issues/8 = Help needed We have infrastructure request filed in: https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/1631 And of course we would love to have more people joining, getting familiar with OpenQA capabilities and using it for their work. -- Aleksandra Fedorova Matrix: @bookwar:fedora.im Fediverse/Mastodon: @bookwar@fosstodon.org

2025-04-09 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 20:00 UTC on Wednesday: `date -d "2025-04-09 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 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/H1kcOFOaJx 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. thanks, -- Thomas 'alphacc' Oulevey CentOS Board of Directors Secretary alphacc(a)centosproject.org

As per subject, just curious about the background for choosing "Coughlan" as codename :-) Couldn't find any hint about it on the net.
