# CPE Weekly: 2020-06-07

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.

See our wiki page here for more information:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/cpe/

## General Project Updates

Please check out our updated initiative timetable for briefing in new projects to our team here:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/cpe/time_tables/ *Note: Initiatives are large pieces of work that require a team of people and weeks/months to complete. Please continue to open tickets in the normal way for bugs, issues, etc.

Dont forget to view our taiga board to see the projects we are currently working on, what we have scoped and whats in our backlog https://tree.taiga.io/project/amoloney1-cpe-team-projects/kanban?epic=null

CPE Product Owner Office Hours: Thursdays @ 1300 UTC on #fedora-meeting-1

## Fedora Updates

### Data Centre Move * A reduced services offering of Fedora will begin tomorrow, June 8th until July 28th, est. * This is to complete the final shipment of hardware from Phoenix to Washington, so please be patient and understanding during this timeframe as some services will be off and the rest, much slower. * Please read the below email sent by kfenzi if you have not already done so: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fedorapro... * Details on what this move may mean for you can be found here https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedorapro... * If an application is not working correctly at all, please check this list https://hackmd.io/hpYYJQRjQy-oHxUS7IonIA?view before opening a ticket to make sure its not listed as being moved. If it is being moved, please wait a day or two, then try again. * Similarly, please be patient when opening tickets for service issues in general as we have now reached the critical point in this move and all of our sys-admins and wider teams will be assisting in the successful bringup of the reduced Fedora service and facilitation of the final hardware shipment and move.

### AAA Replacement * The team are working on implementing an aspect of the service that will allow users to select their applicable contributor agreement(s) as we are merging both Fedora and CentOS authentication system under the Noggin' solution. * The team have also added a blog pref to the feature set in Noggin * They have added pagination to the solution * And are working through redirecting applications to interface with the new API * Please feel free to check out the team kanban board for more information on the features the team are working on and have already completed here https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/6

### Mbbox * Project Dashboard here https://github.com/fedora-infra/mbbox/projects/1 * Sprint 4 is underway with the following work being addressed: * Kojira CRD & Documentation completed * MBS Backend CRD is almost done * And the team are now waiting on a staging environment to deploy and test in. We hope to have this in place by the end of this week

### Gitforge Good discussion on the CPE PO Office Hours meeting this Thursday, 4th June around the possibility of scheduling an AMA session/technical panel session with some folks from GitLab to allow the Fedora community a direct line to discuss services, potential blockers, etc. General feedback is that this will be welcome so I will work with GitLab and cverna, who is still leading the technical side of the project (link to ticket below) to plan the best time for this session & work with you all to set an agenda/discussion points for the meeting. NOTE: Due to the data centre move, this session will not happen before late August or early September at a minimum. Thank you for your engagement with us on this!

## CentOS Updates

### CentOS * CentOS Linux 8.2.2004 RC composes are with QA

### CentOS Stream * The team resolved all of the 8.2 build failures in CentOS Stream in their recent sprint (May 21st - June 5th) * An issue where a SIG was unable to push new content to git.centos.org was resolved, and is currently in staging * The team are also investigating how best to separate CentOS Linux branding from CentOS Stream * We are also focusing on building more packages in Stream for our current sprint (June 5th - 19th) and working on more automation and variance to help improve the current process and time it takes for our team to build packages

As always, feedback is welcome, and we will continue to look at ways to improve the delivery and readability of this weekly report.

Have a great week ahead!
