February newsletter draft
by Shaun McCance 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

It occurs to me that Rich has sent a monthly newletter draft here, and therefore so should I. I'm already a day late, so not much review time. Sorry for that. I'm missing three SIG reports, which I'll just cut out if they don't come. One of them is this very SIG. It occurs to me that I should probably be writing that myself. Not sure how well I can sum up the last quarter. Here's the draft, pasted as raw markdown: # February 2022 Newsletter ## Project News FIXME ### FOSDEM Dojo CentOS hosted its annual [https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/FOSDEM2022](FOSDEM Dojo). This Dojo was once again virtual. If you missed the Dojo, or you just want to watch it again, all of the videos (and some of the slides) are available on the [https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/FOSDEM2022](Dojo wiki page). Also, Aleksandra Fedorova gave a talk at FOSDEM called [https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/centos_stream_stable_and_continuous/… Stream: stable and continuous). This excellent talk went into details of how CentOS is actually built. ### CentOS Linux 8 Following on the EOL of CentOS Linux 8 last year, the packages for CentOS Linux 8 were removed from the mirror network and placed in the vault at the end of January. If you still need to migrate from CentOS Linux 8 to CentOS Stream 8, see the [https://www.centos.org/centos-stream/](updated instructions on centos.org). ## SIG Reports [Special Interest Groups](https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup) (SIGs) are the most interesting part of the CentOS project - this is where people build value on top of the CentOS platform. SIGs report quarterly on what they've been up to. Here are this month's reports. ### Alt Arch FIXME ### Cloud #### Purpose The [https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Cloud](Cloud SIG) is responsible for packaging and maintaining different FOSS based Private cloud infrastructure applications that one can install and run natively on CentOS. #### Releases and Packages **Retirement of CentOS 8** The Cloud SiG has been working on the removal of all jobs and repositories that were utilizing CentOS 8 and moving any remaining jobs to CentOS Stream 8. **Preparation for CentOS Stream 9** The Cloud SIG has been working with the OpenStack Technical Committee and community to coordinate the Yoga release, planned for March 2022, to be on CentOS Stream 9. To achieve this goal, some preparations tasks are being carried out in the RDO Project: - OpenStack dependencies have been built for CentOS Stream 9 and preparation to build OpenStack Yoga versions is in progress. - Those packages are being validated to find potential issues early, report them, and propose fixes when possible. - Coordination with upstream projects that require relevant changes to support the new CentOS Stream. #### Meetings and communication The periodic meeting has been rescheduled from the first Thursday of the month to the second Thursday of the month at 1500 UTC in #centos- meeting. This move was made to alleviate a scheduling overlap with the Fedora Cloud SiG and encourage cross project collaboration. ### NFV FIXME ### Promo FIXME ### Storage #### Purpose The [https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage](Storage SIG) is a collection of like-minded individuals coming together to ensure that CentOS is a suitable platform for many different storage solutions. This group will ensure that all Open Source storage options seeking to utilize CentOS as a delivery platform have a voice in packaging, orchestration, deployment, and related work. #### Package Updates **CentOS 7:** - NFS-Ganesha-4.0 and (lib)ntirpc-4.0 have been released. **CentOS 8:** - NFS-Ganesha-4.0 and (lib)ntirpc-4.0 have been released. - Have asked for build+release of centos-release-ceph-quincy for the upcoming release. - Have asked for build+release of centos-release-nfs-ganesha4. **CentOS Stream 8:** - Ceph Pacific and the related cephadm package v16.2.7 has been released - NFS-Ganesha-4.0 and (lib)ntirpc-4.0 have been released. - Have asked for build+release of centos-release-ceph-quincy for the upcoming release. - Have asked for build+release of centos-release-nfs-ganesha4. **CentOS Stream 9:** - Ceph Pacific and the related cephadm package v16.2.7 has been released - NFS-Ganesha-4.0 and (lib)ntirpc-4.0 have been released. - Centos-release-storage-common, centos-release-ceph-pacific, and centos-release-ceph-quincy have been released. - Centos-release-nfs-ganesha4 has been released. **Misc:** - cephadm subpackage was unbundled from ceph on stream-9 to support ceph's upstream CI facility. Francesco Pantano (fmount) builds the cephadm package. - The OpenStack upstream CI promoted Ceph pacific v16.2.7 on both stream-8 and stream-9 with the related cephadm version. ### Messaging #### Purpose The [https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Messaging](Messaging SIG) is responsible for packaging and maintaining messaging related projects to be consumed e.g by the OpsTools SIG or the Cloud SIG. #### Membership Update No change. As always, more hands would be helpful. #### Overall update We have rebuilt and refreshed packages for CentOS Stream 8. #### Issues for the Board None to bring forward at the moment.

CS9 Launch - THANK YOU
by Rich Bowen 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the CentOS Stream 9 launch messaging happen. ESPECIALLY those who helped craft the blog post. We are live with the messaging, as of Friday morning. (Not ideal timing, but we will be re-amplifying today.) SJVN did a nice article on it - https://www.zdnet.com/article/red-hats-centos-stream-9-linux-arrives/ - and used a lot of the phrases from the article, which I was very pleased with. And the website looks *amazing*. A HUGE thank you to Alain and Fabian for that. Just ... wow. I will be sending out the December newsletter tomorrow, promoting this further. That's being drafted at https://hackmd.io/tva9SEQvRlWkzPmuJ-XBSw?edit today, if you want to help. The conversation on r/CentOS and r/Linux was *mostly* positive. There were, of course, some trolls that emerged from their caves, but for the most part it was people who understood the message, and were largely positive about it. So that was nice, too. Onward and upward. Shosholoza! --Rich

CentOS Stream 9 "launch" promotion
by Rich Bowen 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

We are now at the point in the CentOS Stream 9 process that we need to do some kind of a "launch" promotional effort, so that people are aware of the work that is being done here beyond the "Coming Soon" message on the download page. If you are willing to participate in this effort, we will be coordinating on the centos-promo mailing list - https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-promo - so if you're not subscribed, this is a good time to do so. We will be initially producing two things: * A blog post for blog.centos.org (and possibly one for a redhat.com property as well) * Web content that will go at centos.org/stream9 Initial notes about what we're creating are here: https://hackmd.io/RkOiWNmIQcWSubQ3emY0lg We would like to produce this content within the next month - end of November latest. Launching this content would be coordinated with launching the new visual/design work for our various websites. So ... y'all come help!

Landing CentOS logo redesign on centos-indexhtml
by Alain Reguera Delgado 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Hi, The CentOS logo redesign is landing on centos-indexhtml development. A preview can be seen at: https://gitlab.com/areguera/centos-indexhtml The centos-indexhtml welcome message has been also updated with the documentation Derek Forbush is leading at https://hackmd.io/YF8_hDTOSEWH1Zg9RrFHww along other community members. The next step is translating this content to Spanish (by myself) and surely Chinese (by Timothy Lee). It would be awasome to see more translations from the community for this content. How does it look for you so far? Best regards, -- Alain Reguera Delgado <alain.reguera(a)gmail.com>
