# CPE Weekly: 2020-02-28
Background: The Community Platform Engineering group is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Our goal is to keep core servers and services running and maintained, build releases, and other strategic tasks that need more dedicated time than volunteers can give. For better communication, we will be giving weekly reports to the CentOS and Fedora communities about the general tasks and work being done. Also for better communication between our groups we have created #redhat-cpe on Freenode IRC! Please feel free to catch us there, a mail has landed on both the CentOS and Fedora devel lists with context here.
## CentOS Updates
### CentOS * 5 updates for el8 * 3 updates for el7 * EPEL7 container image on quay.io for python-tox * Exploring fedora-infra jobs that can be containerized
### CentOS Stream * Composes are now automated * CentOS QA are now consuming compose in the test suite and running against CentOS Linux and Stream! * Building the contributor workflow is still ongoing and we will keep you updated when we make some progress on this
## Fedora Updates * F32 Beta Freeze now on
### Data Centre Move * Old OpenStack instance has now been switched off. * The team are planning the shipping logistics of the equipment across country with Red Hat - measurements, weights, insurance amounts - fun stuff! :) * No changes to our expected dates as per our last posting, but if there are we will make sure to let you know asap.
### AAA Replacement Current functionalities developed to date: * User functionality to join groups * Uhange email address and password * Disable account function * Database access function * We are also currently mapping solution on how best to have users move from the current FAS to the new FAS (potential name incoming!). * The team also came to the end of developing our wireframes and mapping our user experience flow. * Unit tests were carried out regarding password controller and the current codebase.
Patrick Uiterijk and Christian Heimes still continue to be a huge help to the team in this project so thank you both sincerely! For our full blog post, check out Ben Cottons weekly For more information regarding outstanding issues, please see here. To view our current scrum board, please see here.
### CI/CD
* The team have made good progress on getting monitor-gating to run in staging * This is running completely now and while it fails in some steps but not because of itself, means it is already providing us valuable information :) * The team have sent an email to the devel list presenting our ideas and potential proposal for the changelog and release fields proof of concept - check it out here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/...
### Sustaining Team * Releng and Infra Freeze for Fedora 32 Beta is now, so if you need changes have them reviewed. * FMN is the main blocking point for the retirement of fedmsg, it is also running on an eol Fedora (28) and the team are working on replacing it. Check out their public thread here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/...
