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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS: Migrated this week (new pkg, new ansible-role): Torrent.centos.org Ipv6.torrent.centos.org Prepared to be migrated next week: Wiki.centos.org Kicked off : new ansible roles in progress for : Bind to support dynamic delegated zone for acme dns-challenge Mailman and postfix CentOS Stream We have our first compose gone to Red Hat Internal QA for testing Other work still progressing on the builders Fedora: OSBS : aarch64 hosts ready for the deployment of an OpenShift cluster. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8442 The Community Fire Team (CFT) is a team of people dedicated to fixing bugs, annoyance and (small) RFE all around our applications. Their work is tracked in taiga at: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/community-fire-team/kanban and they use #fedora-apps for discussion and coordination. As usual, anyone is welcome to join the team, for a day, a task or more!

We're in the middle of doing the CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Linux 8.1.1911 releases that will contain this module stream. Our intention is to try to get that module published in the pre-release CR repository (https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR) when everything is ready. Modules are a new thing for us, and we're working through if a modularized CR is going to cause trouble or not. --Brian From strigazi at gmail.com Thu Dec 12 10:36:24 2019 From: strigazi at gmail.com (Spyros Trigazis) Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 11:36:24 +0100 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Centos Atomic deprecated?

Below is the agenda for that meeting that can be shared with the community and wider public. FYI, the "consent agenda" are items that have been discussed on mailing list or another forum where the Directors have reached consensus. This consent agenda is a way to capture and formalize those decisions, and to give Directors a final chance to bring an item up for discussion in a meeting before the decision is final. ** *Public agenda* *** 1. Looking at if Community Platform Engineering (CPE) can begin to build and release CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream into various public clouds. 2. Review of signing and release solutions for SIGs in the new year. 3. Rolling (last from 2019-11-13): 1. Any other topics aka ?What other things do you want on our key initiatives list for 2020?? 2. New branding work underway 1. Website update work: https://github.com/areguera/centos-style-websites 2. Framework proposed into logo discussion: https://git.centos.org/centos/Artwork/issue/1#comment-62 3. Looking at new Board membership and structure (ongoing) 4. Stepping-up our meeting norms (ongoing) 5. Transparency initiatives (ongoing) Public agenda consent items 1. Secretary role revitalized -- not formally in the governance yet, role is delegated meeting organization duties from the Chair to include calling for meetings, managing the private and public agenda for meetings, and handling the creation and release of private and public minutes. Karsten has volunteered to take this role until approximately June 2020. 2. Board intending to confirm support for planning a shift to sharing auth backends with the Fedora Project. * -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig From kwade at redhat.com Fri Dec 13 19:03:53 2019 From: kwade at redhat.com (Karsten Wade) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:03:53 -0500 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Patrick, Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda.

So with a public list of nominees, published interview with each nominee and public voting results? Is there a way for the Community to (self-)nominate? Jim already gave a succinct answer, but I thought you might be interested in my complete response. The short metaphorical answer is, where it comes to good transparency, the Board is just learning to crawl. As much as we want to begin working toward a marathon, we know we need to get through to learning to walk first. In order to be successful at what you describe, we need more time as an active and proper open source project. Fedora Project existed for many years with a high standard of transparency before the original Fedora Board was created. It then started as a blend of appointed (like me!) and elected Board members. Having been through that evolution, I have an intimate idea of how much longer it can take and more complex it can be than the ideal of e.g. starting from scratch with a new project. By comparison, my reckoning is the CentOS Project only began to act like a proper open source project around the time the Virt SIG was created to support the Xen kernel. Of course, the joining of forces with Red Hat was at the core an effort to create a contributor-centric project but primarily around the SIGs; we left other parts e.g. core Linux building alone as "don't break". Not forever, but for a while, and now that five yeas has passed, it's more than time to improve those parts, too. We've built on that plan with SIGs so now it is possible to contribute to a sizeable part of the project. But with the mix of legacy infrastructure, technical and governance debt from the last 7+ years, and the changing needs of a contributor base ... Frankly IMO, today we do not have a large enough community of leaders who could be nominated, nor a mature enough contributor base to hold voting. This is largely the fault of the existing leadership, specifically those of us on the Board of Directors. Lack of transparency and lack of focus on growing leaders I think are at the core of that situation. People have stepped up and tried, and not been enabled or supported as well as they could have been. The project has definitely been moving toward better transparency, to the point where the most obvious transparency problems are at the top of the governance. So we need a little more time before holding open elections in order to realize things such as transparency norms, consistent and productive meetings, and clear evolution. > For better Community coverage perhaps CentOS Board related postings could also be sent to the centos-announce and centos mailinglists? I'm a bit on the fence about this because I'm not sure it's on topic for centos@, but maybe it's OK and not much noise to add to that list? What I mean about on-topic is that the Board deals with issues affecting contributors, who themselves are the interaction points with their userbase. If I were an end user of e.g. RDO, I would find it confusing that in addition to RDO leadership there is this group above the Cloud SIG making decisions, should I be worried about them, what is going on, etc. So the norm so far has been to have SIGs communicate with their userbases, including the Core SIG and CentOS Linux users. (Don't be too confused that some of the people in the Core SIG are also Directors; in wearing different hats, we have to be prepared to speak from different authority points.) We can change up that norm, but I think it's worth discussing with the SIG leaders how they want Board communication handled for their userbase. Does that make sense? So for this time I'm just sending to the contributor list and posting on the blog. Let's keep discussing and see if there is a consensus on if and how to include the userbase in this transparency, perhaps as soon as the Jan 2020 meeting.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic.

During that time, some operators will be monitoring tickets and services for large scale outages, but will not be active on IRC or email. The ability of the operators to fix problems is also limited because some operations require staff who will be away. People on duty will do what they can to repair and maintain services but do not give any ETA on how long it will take for it to be done. If you are making changes to infrastructure during this time, please treat it like a ?frozen? period. Unless it is an emergency repair, do not push changes without a review from a main system administrator. We would encourage you to bump your ticket or request early in the New Year (full service resumes January 6th) for our attention, otherwise we will work through the backlog of requests. We wish you and yours a happy holiday season and look forward to working with you in collaboration throughout 2020 and beyond. Comments? Suggestions? Feedback? Let Us Know!

This is an idea that has come up a few times from various Directors over the last several years. The item didn't make it on the Dec agenda because we're still working up the proposal; I think Jan is likely. My plan is to put out the proposal here prior to the meeting to get some initial feedback on how it's structured and would begin. My personal thinking is to follow the iterative opening-up method -- start with an invited group of people in a closed but public agenda/minutes session; do that for a period of time such as 6 months; then see when we might transition to adding more ways to observe in real time or via recording. This is all about balancing the needs of the various stakeholders, which range from small to large end users, upstream projects dependent on CentOS in various ways, Red Hat engineering and product groups that work upstream and downstream from CentOS, the various SIGs, ISVs, IHVs, and all their network of relationships, and so forth. Out of simplicity and an abundance of caution we got this? started on a private-only track 6 years ago, and deeply appreciate the patience of folks as we untangle old and present needs into better leadership.

After I left the military, I worked for Rackspace for eight years. I was recently hired by Red Hat to work on CentOS Stream. During my time I Rackspace, I ran the IUS project.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS: Migrated this week (new pkg, new ansible-role): Torrent.centos.org Ipv6.torrent.centos.org Prepared to be migrated next week: Wiki.centos.org Kicked off : new ansible roles in progress for : Bind to support dynamic delegated zone for acme dns-challenge Mailman and postfix CentOS Stream We have our first compose gone to Red Hat Internal QA for testing Other work still progressing on the builders Fedora: OSBS : aarch64 hosts ready for the deployment of an OpenShift cluster. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8442 The Community Fire Team (CFT) is a team of people dedicated to fixing bugs, annoyance and (small) RFE all around our applications. Their work is tracked in taiga at: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/community-fire-team/kanban and they use #fedora-apps for discussion and coordination. As usual, anyone is welcome to join the team, for a day, a task or more!

We're in the middle of doing the CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Linux 8.1.1911 releases that will contain this module stream. Our intention is to try to get that module published in the pre-release CR repository (https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR) when everything is ready. Modules are a new thing for us, and we're working through if a modularized CR is going to cause trouble or not. --Brian From strigazi at gmail.com Thu Dec 12 10:36:24 2019 From: strigazi at gmail.com (Spyros Trigazis) Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 11:36:24 +0100 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Centos Atomic deprecated?

The symptom of this issue is that memory will continue allocating in slab over time making a box oom after too many connections. As per some external discussions I am sending the patch + bug report on to this list. It has already been accepted into upstream kernels (4.19 included) and is a pretty straight forward backport.

Below is the agenda for that meeting that can be shared with the community and wider public. FYI, the "consent agenda" are items that have been discussed on mailing list or another forum where the Directors have reached consensus. This consent agenda is a way to capture and formalize those decisions, and to give Directors a final chance to bring an item up for discussion in a meeting before the decision is final. ** *Public agenda* *** 1. Looking at if Community Platform Engineering (CPE) can begin to build and release CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream into various public clouds. 2. Review of signing and release solutions for SIGs in the new year. 3. Rolling (last from 2019-11-13): 1. Any other topics aka ?What other things do you want on our key initiatives list for 2020?? 2. New branding work underway 1. Website update work: https://github.com/areguera/centos-style-websites 2. Framework proposed into logo discussion: https://git.centos.org/centos/Artwork/issue/1#comment-62 3. Looking at new Board membership and structure (ongoing) 4. Stepping-up our meeting norms (ongoing) 5. Transparency initiatives (ongoing) Public agenda consent items 1. Secretary role revitalized -- not formally in the governance yet, role is delegated meeting organization duties from the Chair to include calling for meetings, managing the private and public agenda for meetings, and handling the creation and release of private and public minutes. Karsten has volunteered to take this role until approximately June 2020. 2. Board intending to confirm support for planning a shift to sharing auth backends with the Fedora Project. * -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig From kwade at redhat.com Fri Dec 13 19:03:53 2019 From: kwade at redhat.com (Karsten Wade) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:03:53 -0500 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Patrick, Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda. I'll be sure to watch more carefully in the future, part of the reason for sending to this list is to have these discussions. Rest of my lengthy answers inline below: On 11/27/19 9:34 AM, Patrick Laimbock wrote: > That's great news. Will the process be similar to how it's done in the Fedora Project [1]? So with a public list of nominees, published interview with each nominee and public voting results? Is there a way for the Community to (self-)nominate? Jim already gave a succinct answer, but I thought you might be interested in my complete response. The short metaphorical answer is, where it comes to good transparency, the Board is just learning to crawl. As much as we want to begin working toward a marathon, we know we need to get through to learning to walk first. In order to be successful at what you describe, we need more time as an active and proper open source project. Fedora Project existed for many years with a high standard of transparency before the original Fedora Board was created. It then started as a blend of appointed (like me!) and elected Board members. Having been through that evolution, I have an intimate idea of how much longer it can take and more complex it can be than the ideal of e.g. starting from scratch with a new project. By comparison, my reckoning is the CentOS Project only began to act like a proper open source project around the time the Virt SIG was created to support the Xen kernel. Of course, the joining of forces with Red Hat was at the core an effort to create a contributor-centric project but primarily around the SIGs; we left other parts e.g. core Linux building alone as "don't break". Not forever, but for a while, and now that five yeas has passed, it's more than time to improve those parts, too. We've built on that plan with SIGs so now it is possible to contribute to a sizeable part of the project. But with the mix of legacy infrastructure, technical and governance debt from the last 7+ years, and the changing needs of a contributor base ... Frankly IMO, today we do not have a large enough community of leaders who could be nominated, nor a mature enough contributor base to hold voting. This is largely the fault of the existing leadership, specifically those of us on the Board of Directors. Lack of transparency and lack of focus on growing leaders I think are at the core of that situation. People have stepped up and tried, and not been enabled or supported as well as they could have been. The project has definitely been moving toward better transparency, to the point where the most obvious transparency problems are at the top of the governance. So we need a little more time before holding open elections in order to realize things such as transparency norms, consistent and productive meetings, and clear evolution. > For better Community coverage perhaps CentOS Board related postings could also be sent to the centos-announce and centos mailinglists? I'm a bit on the fence about this because I'm not sure it's on topic for centos@, but maybe it's OK and not much noise to add to that list? What I mean about on-topic is that the Board deals with issues affecting contributors, who themselves are the interaction points with their userbase. If I were an end user of e.g. RDO, I would find it confusing that in addition to RDO leadership there is this group above the Cloud SIG making decisions, should I be worried about them, what is going on, etc. So the norm so far has been to have SIGs communicate with their userbases, including the Core SIG and CentOS Linux users. (Don't be too confused that some of the people in the Core SIG are also Directors; in wearing different hats, we have to be prepared to speak from different authority points.) We can change up that norm, but I think it's worth discussing with the SIG leaders how they want Board communication handled for their userbase. Does that make sense? So for this time I'm just sending to the contributor list and posting on the blog. Let's keep discussing and see if there is a consensus on if and how to include the userbase in this transparency, perhaps as soon as the Jan 2020 meeting.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts :-) Tim > On 13 Dec 2019, at 20:03, Karsten Wade wrote: > > Hi Patrick, > > Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS Wiki.centos.org migration (last monday) Finishing templates for mailman ansible role (new look with community members) Preparing the next migration (sponsor relocates DC and new machines): www.centos.org (on track, to be announced) Forums (scheduled for next monday) Starting new ansible roles to automate deploy + upgrade of those migrated services Working on koji (cbs.dev) to see when we can import 8.1 content to let SIGs build against/for .el8 and .el8s (Stream) Collaborating with Artwork SIG for new design for http exposed services (new centos design) QA for 8-Stream and 8.1.1911 continues Fedora Production issues with Bodhi: Bodhi is under investigation for misbehaving.

During that time, some operators will be monitoring tickets and services for large scale outages, but will not be active on IRC or email. The ability of the operators to fix problems is also limited because some operations require staff who will be away. People on duty will do what they can to repair and maintain services but do not give any ETA on how long it will take for it to be done. If you are making changes to infrastructure during this time, please treat it like a ?frozen? period. Unless it is an emergency repair, do not push changes without a review from a main system administrator. We would encourage you to bump your ticket or request early in the New Year (full service resumes January 6th) for our attention, otherwise we will work through the backlog of requests. We wish you and yours a happy holiday season and look forward to working with you in collaboration throughout 2020 and beyond. Comments? Suggestions? Feedback? Let Us Know!

My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts:-) Hi Tim As it happens, Rich Bowen and I have been talking through an idea for something like an advisory council that would be involved in discussions during a portion of a Board meeting, for much the similar purpose you describe. This is an idea that has come up a few times from various Directors over the last several years. The item didn't make it on the Dec agenda because we're still working up the proposal; I think Jan is likely. My plan is to put out the proposal here prior to the meeting to get some initial feedback on how it's structured and would begin. My personal thinking is to follow the iterative opening-up method -- start with an invited group of people in a closed but public agenda/minutes session; do that for a period of time such as 6 months; then see when we might transition to adding more ways to observe in real time or via recording. This is all about balancing the needs of the various stakeholders, which range from small to large end users, upstream projects dependent on CentOS in various ways, Red Hat engineering and product groups that work upstream and downstream from CentOS, the various SIGs, ISVs, IHVs, and all their network of relationships, and so forth. Out of simplicity and an abundance of caution we got this? started on a private-only track 6 years ago, and deeply appreciate the patience of folks as we untangle old and present needs into better leadership.

Important Note: Please note there will be no weekly emails over the holiday period of 23rd December 2019 - 2nd January 2020*. The next CPE weekly email will be sent on Friday 10th January 2020. As you may be aware, either from the CPE weekly emails or from previous years, Red Hat has a mandatory shutdown period between Christmas and New Year in many countries. This allows most associates to celebrate the holiday season with friends and family and recharge their batteries after a busy year. Multiple Red Hat teams will be observing this period, including Fedora & CentOS infrastructure teams, and we want to raise awareness that availability will be minimal during this time. *While the formal shutdown period ends on the 2nd of January 2020, many people will not be back until Monday the 6th of January 2020. As all of our team members are also passionate Community members, there may be some coverage, but this is not guaranteed and will be on a best effort basis. Any coverage offered will ultimately be at the personal choice of the individual during their time off. We want to take this time to wish you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas period and a most prosperous New Year. We look forward to working closely with you over the coming year! 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.

I'm sort of against sending these to -announce, but only because we have a number of people who parse that list with automated tooling, not because folks actually read it. I don't want to change expectations and tooling without a good reason.

Since it is a matter of a few minutes work to install one, run an update, and store your personal imae *with* enhanced networking enabled, Isn't it enough to simply have a base older OS to work with?

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS: Migrated this week (new pkg, new ansible-role): Torrent.centos.org Ipv6.torrent.centos.org Prepared to be migrated next week: Wiki.centos.org Kicked off : new ansible roles in progress for : Bind to support dynamic delegated zone for acme dns-challenge Mailman and postfix CentOS Stream We have our first compose gone to Red Hat Internal QA for testing Other work still progressing on the builders Fedora: OSBS : aarch64 hosts ready for the deployment of an OpenShift cluster. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8442 The Community Fire Team (CFT) is a team of people dedicated to fixing bugs, annoyance and (small) RFE all around our applications. Their work is tracked in taiga at: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/community-fire-team/kanban and they use #fedora-apps for discussion and coordination. As usual, anyone is welcome to join the team, for a day, a task or more!

Below is the agenda for that meeting that can be shared with the community and wider public. FYI, the "consent agenda" are items that have been discussed on mailing list or another forum where the Directors have reached consensus. This consent agenda is a way to capture and formalize those decisions, and to give Directors a final chance to bring an item up for discussion in a meeting before the decision is final. ** *Public agenda* *** 1. Looking at if Community Platform Engineering (CPE) can begin to build and release CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream into various public clouds. 2. Review of signing and release solutions for SIGs in the new year. 3. Rolling (last from 2019-11-13): 1. Any other topics aka ?What other things do you want on our key initiatives list for 2020?? 2. New branding work underway 1. Website update work: https://github.com/areguera/centos-style-websites 2. Framework proposed into logo discussion: https://git.centos.org/centos/Artwork/issue/1#comment-62 3. Looking at new Board membership and structure (ongoing) 4. Stepping-up our meeting norms (ongoing) 5. Transparency initiatives (ongoing) Public agenda consent items 1. Secretary role revitalized -- not formally in the governance yet, role is delegated meeting organization duties from the Chair to include calling for meetings, managing the private and public agenda for meetings, and handling the creation and release of private and public minutes. Karsten has volunteered to take this role until approximately June 2020. 2. Board intending to confirm support for planning a shift to sharing auth backends with the Fedora Project. * -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig From kwade at redhat.com Fri Dec 13 19:03:53 2019 From: kwade at redhat.com (Karsten Wade) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:03:53 -0500 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Patrick, Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda.

So with a public list of nominees, published interview with each nominee and public voting results? Is there a way for the Community to (self-)nominate? Jim already gave a succinct answer, but I thought you might be interested in my complete response. The short metaphorical answer is, where it comes to good transparency, the Board is just learning to crawl. As much as we want to begin working toward a marathon, we know we need to get through to learning to walk first. In order to be successful at what you describe, we need more time as an active and proper open source project. Fedora Project existed for many years with a high standard of transparency before the original Fedora Board was created. It then started as a blend of appointed (like me!) and elected Board members. Having been through that evolution, I have an intimate idea of how much longer it can take and more complex it can be than the ideal of e.g. starting from scratch with a new project. By comparison, my reckoning is the CentOS Project only began to act like a proper open source project around the time the Virt SIG was created to support the Xen kernel. Of course, the joining of forces with Red Hat was at the core an effort to create a contributor-centric project but primarily around the SIGs; we left other parts e.g. core Linux building alone as "don't break". Not forever, but for a while, and now that five yeas has passed, it's more than time to improve those parts, too. We've built on that plan with SIGs so now it is possible to contribute to a sizeable part of the project. But with the mix of legacy infrastructure, technical and governance debt from the last 7+ years, and the changing needs of a contributor base ... Frankly IMO, today we do not have a large enough community of leaders who could be nominated, nor a mature enough contributor base to hold voting. This is largely the fault of the existing leadership, specifically those of us on the Board of Directors. Lack of transparency and lack of focus on growing leaders I think are at the core of that situation. People have stepped up and tried, and not been enabled or supported as well as they could have been. The project has definitely been moving toward better transparency, to the point where the most obvious transparency problems are at the top of the governance. So we need a little more time before holding open elections in order to realize things such as transparency norms, consistent and productive meetings, and clear evolution. > For better Community coverage perhaps CentOS Board related postings could also be sent to the centos-announce and centos mailinglists? I'm a bit on the fence about this because I'm not sure it's on topic for centos@, but maybe it's OK and not much noise to add to that list? What I mean about on-topic is that the Board deals with issues affecting contributors, who themselves are the interaction points with their userbase. If I were an end user of e.g. RDO, I would find it confusing that in addition to RDO leadership there is this group above the Cloud SIG making decisions, should I be worried about them, what is going on, etc. So the norm so far has been to have SIGs communicate with their userbases, including the Core SIG and CentOS Linux users. (Don't be too confused that some of the people in the Core SIG are also Directors; in wearing different hats, we have to be prepared to speak from different authority points.) We can change up that norm, but I think it's worth discussing with the SIG leaders how they want Board communication handled for their userbase. Does that make sense? So for this time I'm just sending to the contributor list and posting on the blog. Let's keep discussing and see if there is a consensus on if and how to include the userbase in this transparency, perhaps as soon as the Jan 2020 meeting.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic.

During that time, some operators will be monitoring tickets and services for large scale outages, but will not be active on IRC or email. The ability of the operators to fix problems is also limited because some operations require staff who will be away. People on duty will do what they can to repair and maintain services but do not give any ETA on how long it will take for it to be done. If you are making changes to infrastructure during this time, please treat it like a ?frozen? period. Unless it is an emergency repair, do not push changes without a review from a main system administrator. We would encourage you to bump your ticket or request early in the New Year (full service resumes January 6th) for our attention, otherwise we will work through the backlog of requests. We wish you and yours a happy holiday season and look forward to working with you in collaboration throughout 2020 and beyond. Comments? Suggestions? Feedback? Let Us Know!

My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts:-) Hi Tim As it happens, Rich Bowen and I have been talking through an idea for something like an advisory council that would be involved in discussions during a portion of a Board meeting, for much the similar purpose you describe. This is an idea that has come up a few times from various Directors over the last several years. The item didn't make it on the Dec agenda because we're still working up the proposal; I think Jan is likely. My plan is to put out the proposal here prior to the meeting to get some initial feedback on how it's structured and would begin. My personal thinking is to follow the iterative opening-up method -- start with an invited group of people in a closed but public agenda/minutes session; do that for a period of time such as 6 months; then see when we might transition to adding more ways to observe in real time or via recording. This is all about balancing the needs of the various stakeholders, which range from small to large end users, upstream projects dependent on CentOS in various ways, Red Hat engineering and product groups that work upstream and downstream from CentOS, the various SIGs, ISVs, IHVs, and all their network of relationships, and so forth. Out of simplicity and an abundance of caution we got this? started on a private-only track 6 years ago, and deeply appreciate the patience of folks as we untangle old and present needs into better leadership.

Important Note: Please note there will be no weekly emails over the holiday period of 23rd December 2019 - 2nd January 2020*. The next CPE weekly email will be sent on Friday 10th January 2020. As you may be aware, either from the CPE weekly emails or from previous years, Red Hat has a mandatory shutdown period between Christmas and New Year in many countries. This allows most associates to celebrate the holiday season with friends and family and recharge their batteries after a busy year. Multiple Red Hat teams will be observing this period, including Fedora & CentOS infrastructure teams, and we want to raise awareness that availability will be minimal during this time. *While the formal shutdown period ends on the 2nd of January 2020, many people will not be back until Monday the 6th of January 2020. As all of our team members are also passionate Community members, there may be some coverage, but this is not guaranteed and will be on a best effort basis. Any coverage offered will ultimately be at the personal choice of the individual during their time off. We want to take this time to wish you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas period and a most prosperous New Year. We look forward to working closely with you over the coming year! 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.

If there are comments related to this feature, feel free to start a discussion here on centos-devel.

You can download install DVDs from the download page: https://www.centos.org/download/ A final note about CentOS Linux 8.1.1911: we are working diligently to get this ready for release. Stay tuned here for more information.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts :-) +1 to observers.

RHEL provides "kickstart" trees for each minor release, same as CentOS 8. And "kickstart"s are still way behind and broken. _______________________________________________ CentOS-devel mailing list CentOS-devel at centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel From amoloney at redhat.com Sat Dec 7 02:37:39 2019 From: amoloney at redhat.com (Aoife Moloney) Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2019 02:37:39 +0000 Subject: [CentOS-devel] CPE Weekly:2019-12-06 Message-ID: Hi everyone, Welcome to the CPE team weekly project update mail! 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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS: Migrated this week (new pkg, new ansible-role): Torrent.centos.org Ipv6.torrent.centos.org Prepared to be migrated next week: Wiki.centos.org Kicked off : new ansible roles in progress for : Bind to support dynamic delegated zone for acme dns-challenge Mailman and postfix CentOS Stream We have our first compose gone to Red Hat Internal QA for testing Other work still progressing on the builders Fedora: OSBS : aarch64 hosts ready for the deployment of an OpenShift cluster. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8442 The Community Fire Team (CFT) is a team of people dedicated to fixing bugs, annoyance and (small) RFE all around our applications. Their work is tracked in taiga at: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/community-fire-team/kanban and they use #fedora-apps for discussion and coordination. As usual, anyone is welcome to join the team, for a day, a task or more! This week CFT has achieved the following work: Release and deploy pagure 5.8.1 Changelog at: https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/changelog.html#id1 Release and deploy pagure-dist-git 1.5.2 Fixes enabling the pull-request only workflow on dist-git Fix getting the CI pipeline results to show on PR on dist-git Fix the script syncing the default assignee and CC list from dist-git to bugzilla So far there were no negative feedback about the changes this script will do Deploy the script syncing default assignee and CC list from dist-git to bugzilla on openshift in staging And is actively working on: Enabling side-tag based updates in stable releases Adding a new API endpoint to pagure to enable/disable git hooks Adding tests for the fedora-messaging support in the JMS plugin (used by ci.centos.org) Making ansible-review work with the infrastructure's ansible repository Fixing the mdapi integration on dist-git's package page F31 Updates kojipkgs01/02 has been reinstalled Robosign config for fcos has been updated Rawhide Gating: Team still welcomes any input and feedback on your experience with Rawhide Gating to date as we move through our testing ahead of making it generally available Bodhi Application Retirements Elections Elections are ready to be moved to Communishift!

We're in the middle of doing the CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Linux 8.1.1911 releases that will contain this module stream.

As per some external discussions I am sending the patch + bug report on to this list. It has already been accepted into upstream kernels (4.19 included) and is a pretty straight forward backport.

Below is the agenda for that meeting that can be shared with the community and wider public. FYI, the "consent agenda" are items that have been discussed on mailing list or another forum where the Directors have reached consensus. This consent agenda is a way to capture and formalize those decisions, and to give Directors a final chance to bring an item up for discussion in a meeting before the decision is final. ** *Public agenda* *** 1. Looking at if Community Platform Engineering (CPE) can begin to build and release CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream into various public clouds. 2. Review of signing and release solutions for SIGs in the new year. 3. Rolling (last from 2019-11-13): 1. Any other topics aka ?What other things do you want on our key initiatives list for 2020?? 2. New branding work underway 1. Website update work: https://github.com/areguera/centos-style-websites 2. Framework proposed into logo discussion: https://git.centos.org/centos/Artwork/issue/1#comment-62 3. Looking at new Board membership and structure (ongoing) 4. Stepping-up our meeting norms (ongoing) 5. Transparency initiatives (ongoing) Public agenda consent items 1. Secretary role revitalized -- not formally in the governance yet, role is delegated meeting organization duties from the Chair to include calling for meetings, managing the private and public agenda for meetings, and handling the creation and release of private and public minutes. Karsten has volunteered to take this role until approximately June 2020. 2. Board intending to confirm support for planning a shift to sharing auth backends with the Fedora Project. * -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig From kwade at redhat.com Fri Dec 13 19:03:53 2019 From: kwade at redhat.com (Karsten Wade) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:03:53 -0500 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Patrick, Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda. I'll be sure to watch more carefully in the future, part of the reason for sending to this list is to have these discussions.

So with a public list of nominees, published interview with each nominee and public voting results? Is there a way for the Community to (self-)nominate? Jim already gave a succinct answer, but I thought you might be interested in my complete response. The short metaphorical answer is, where it comes to good transparency, the Board is just learning to crawl. As much as we want to begin working toward a marathon, we know we need to get through to learning to walk first. In order to be successful at what you describe, we need more time as an active and proper open source project. Fedora Project existed for many years with a high standard of transparency before the original Fedora Board was created. It then started as a blend of appointed (like me!) and elected Board members. Having been through that evolution, I have an intimate idea of how much longer it can take and more complex it can be than the ideal of e.g. starting from scratch with a new project. By comparison, my reckoning is the CentOS Project only began to act like a proper open source project around the time the Virt SIG was created to support the Xen kernel. Of course, the joining of forces with Red Hat was at the core an effort to create a contributor-centric project but primarily around the SIGs; we left other parts e.g. core Linux building alone as "don't break". Not forever, but for a while, and now that five yeas has passed, it's more than time to improve those parts, too. We've built on that plan with SIGs so now it is possible to contribute to a sizeable part of the project. But with the mix of legacy infrastructure, technical and governance debt from the last 7+ years, and the changing needs of a contributor base ... Frankly IMO, today we do not have a large enough community of leaders who could be nominated, nor a mature enough contributor base to hold voting. This is largely the fault of the existing leadership, specifically those of us on the Board of Directors. Lack of transparency and lack of focus on growing leaders I think are at the core of that situation. People have stepped up and tried, and not been enabled or supported as well as they could have been. The project has definitely been moving toward better transparency, to the point where the most obvious transparency problems are at the top of the governance. So we need a little more time before holding open elections in order to realize things such as transparency norms, consistent and productive meetings, and clear evolution. > For better Community coverage perhaps CentOS Board related postings could also be sent to the centos-announce and centos mailinglists? I'm a bit on the fence about this because I'm not sure it's on topic for centos@, but maybe it's OK and not much noise to add to that list? What I mean about on-topic is that the Board deals with issues affecting contributors, who themselves are the interaction points with their userbase. If I were an end user of e.g. RDO, I would find it confusing that in addition to RDO leadership there is this group above the Cloud SIG making decisions, should I be worried about them, what is going on, etc. So the norm so far has been to have SIGs communicate with their userbases, including the Core SIG and CentOS Linux users. (Don't be too confused that some of the people in the Core SIG are also Directors; in wearing different hats, we have to be prepared to speak from different authority points.) We can change up that norm, but I think it's worth discussing with the SIG leaders how they want Board communication handled for their userbase. Does that make sense? So for this time I'm just sending to the contributor list and posting on the blog. Let's keep discussing and see if there is a consensus on if and how to include the userbase in this transparency, perhaps as soon as the Jan 2020 meeting.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS Wiki.centos.org migration (last monday) Finishing templates for mailman ansible role (new look with community members) Preparing the next migration (sponsor relocates DC and new machines): www.centos.org (on track, to be announced) Forums (scheduled for next monday) Starting new ansible roles to automate deploy + upgrade of those migrated services Working on koji (cbs.dev) to see when we can import 8.1 content to let SIGs build against/for .el8 and .el8s (Stream) Collaborating with Artwork SIG for new design for http exposed services (new centos design) QA for 8-Stream and 8.1.1911 continues Fedora Production issues with Bodhi: Bodhi is under investigation for misbehaving.

During that time, some operators will be monitoring tickets and services for large scale outages, but will not be active on IRC or email. The ability of the operators to fix problems is also limited because some operations require staff who will be away. People on duty will do what they can to repair and maintain services but do not give any ETA on how long it will take for it to be done. If you are making changes to infrastructure during this time, please treat it like a ?frozen? period. Unless it is an emergency repair, do not push changes without a review from a main system administrator. We would encourage you to bump your ticket or request early in the New Year (full service resumes January 6th) for our attention, otherwise we will work through the backlog of requests. We wish you and yours a happy holiday season and look forward to working with you in collaboration throughout 2020 and beyond. Comments? Suggestions? Feedback? Let Us Know!

My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts:-) Hi Tim As it happens, Rich Bowen and I have been talking through an idea for something like an advisory council that would be involved in discussions during a portion of a Board meeting, for much the similar purpose you describe. This is an idea that has come up a few times from various Directors over the last several years. The item didn't make it on the Dec agenda because we're still working up the proposal; I think Jan is likely. My plan is to put out the proposal here prior to the meeting to get some initial feedback on how it's structured and would begin. My personal thinking is to follow the iterative opening-up method -- start with an invited group of people in a closed but public agenda/minutes session; do that for a period of time such as 6 months; then see when we might transition to adding more ways to observe in real time or via recording. This is all about balancing the needs of the various stakeholders, which range from small to large end users, upstream projects dependent on CentOS in various ways, Red Hat engineering and product groups that work upstream and downstream from CentOS, the various SIGs, ISVs, IHVs, and all their network of relationships, and so forth. Out of simplicity and an abundance of caution we got this? started on a private-only track 6 years ago, and deeply appreciate the patience of folks as we untangle old and present needs into better leadership.

Important Note: Please note there will be no weekly emails over the holiday period of 23rd December 2019 - 2nd January 2020*. The next CPE weekly email will be sent on Friday 10th January 2020. As you may be aware, either from the CPE weekly emails or from previous years, Red Hat has a mandatory shutdown period between Christmas and New Year in many countries. This allows most associates to celebrate the holiday season with friends and family and recharge their batteries after a busy year. Multiple Red Hat teams will be observing this period, including Fedora & CentOS infrastructure teams, and we want to raise awareness that availability will be minimal during this time. *While the formal shutdown period ends on the 2nd of January 2020, many people will not be back until Monday the 6th of January 2020. As all of our team members are also passionate Community members, there may be some coverage, but this is not guaranteed and will be on a best effort basis. Any coverage offered will ultimately be at the personal choice of the individual during their time off. We want to take this time to wish you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas period and a most prosperous New Year. We look forward to working closely with you over the coming year! 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.

If there are comments related to this feature, feel free to start a discussion here on centos-devel.

You can download install DVDs from the download page: https://www.centos.org/download/ A final note about CentOS Linux 8.1.1911: we are working diligently to get this ready for release. Stay tuned here for more information. We've included much of the same content as 8.1.1911 in this CentOS Stream respin both for your comments, and to help us promote CentOS Stream as a continuous feed of new features.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts :-) +1 to observers.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS: Migrated this week (new pkg, new ansible-role): Torrent.centos.org Ipv6.torrent.centos.org Prepared to be migrated next week: Wiki.centos.org Kicked off : new ansible roles in progress for : Bind to support dynamic delegated zone for acme dns-challenge Mailman and postfix CentOS Stream We have our first compose gone to Red Hat Internal QA for testing Other work still progressing on the builders Fedora: OSBS : aarch64 hosts ready for the deployment of an OpenShift cluster. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8442 The Community Fire Team (CFT) is a team of people dedicated to fixing bugs, annoyance and (small) RFE all around our applications. Their work is tracked in taiga at: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/community-fire-team/kanban and they use #fedora-apps for discussion and coordination.

We're in the middle of doing the CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Linux 8.1.1911 releases that will contain this module stream. Our intention is to try to get that module published in the pre-release CR repository (https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR) when everything is ready. Modules are a new thing for us, and we're working through if a modularized CR is going to cause trouble or not. --Brian From strigazi at gmail.com Thu Dec 12 10:36:24 2019 From: strigazi at gmail.com (Spyros Trigazis) Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 11:36:24 +0100 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Centos Atomic deprecated?

Below is the agenda for that meeting that can be shared with the community and wider public. FYI, the "consent agenda" are items that have been discussed on mailing list or another forum where the Directors have reached consensus. This consent agenda is a way to capture and formalize those decisions, and to give Directors a final chance to bring an item up for discussion in a meeting before the decision is final. ** *Public agenda* *** 1. Looking at if Community Platform Engineering (CPE) can begin to build and release CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream into various public clouds. 2. Review of signing and release solutions for SIGs in the new year. 3. Rolling (last from 2019-11-13): 1. Any other topics aka ?What other things do you want on our key initiatives list for 2020?? 2. New branding work underway 1. Website update work: https://github.com/areguera/centos-style-websites 2. Framework proposed into logo discussion: https://git.centos.org/centos/Artwork/issue/1#comment-62 3. Looking at new Board membership and structure (ongoing) 4. Stepping-up our meeting norms (ongoing) 5. Transparency initiatives (ongoing) Public agenda consent items 1. Secretary role revitalized -- not formally in the governance yet, role is delegated meeting organization duties from the Chair to include calling for meetings, managing the private and public agenda for meetings, and handling the creation and release of private and public minutes. Karsten has volunteered to take this role until approximately June 2020. 2. Board intending to confirm support for planning a shift to sharing auth backends with the Fedora Project. * -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig From kwade at redhat.com Fri Dec 13 19:03:53 2019 From: kwade at redhat.com (Karsten Wade) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:03:53 -0500 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Patrick, Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda. I'll be sure to watch more carefully in the future, part of the reason for sending to this list is to have these discussions. Rest of my lengthy answers inline below: On 11/27/19 9:34 AM, Patrick Laimbock wrote: > That's great news. Will the process be similar to how it's done in the Fedora Project [1]? So with a public list of nominees, published interview with each nominee and public voting results? Is there a way for the Community to (self-)nominate? Jim already gave a succinct answer, but I thought you might be interested in my complete response. The short metaphorical answer is, where it comes to good transparency, the Board is just learning to crawl. As much as we want to begin working toward a marathon, we know we need to get through to learning to walk first. In order to be successful at what you describe, we need more time as an active and proper open source project. Fedora Project existed for many years with a high standard of transparency before the original Fedora Board was created. It then started as a blend of appointed (like me!) and elected Board members. Having been through that evolution, I have an intimate idea of how much longer it can take and more complex it can be than the ideal of e.g. starting from scratch with a new project. By comparison, my reckoning is the CentOS Project only began to act like a proper open source project around the time the Virt SIG was created to support the Xen kernel. Of course, the joining of forces with Red Hat was at the core an effort to create a contributor-centric project but primarily around the SIGs; we left other parts e.g. core Linux building alone as "don't break". Not forever, but for a while, and now that five yeas has passed, it's more than time to improve those parts, too. We've built on that plan with SIGs so now it is possible to contribute to a sizeable part of the project. But with the mix of legacy infrastructure, technical and governance debt from the last 7+ years, and the changing needs of a contributor base ... Frankly IMO, today we do not have a large enough community of leaders who could be nominated, nor a mature enough contributor base to hold voting. This is largely the fault of the existing leadership, specifically those of us on the Board of Directors. Lack of transparency and lack of focus on growing leaders I think are at the core of that situation. People have stepped up and tried, and not been enabled or supported as well as they could have been. The project has definitely been moving toward better transparency, to the point where the most obvious transparency problems are at the top of the governance. So we need a little more time before holding open elections in order to realize things such as transparency norms, consistent and productive meetings, and clear evolution. > For better Community coverage perhaps CentOS Board related postings could also be sent to the centos-announce and centos mailinglists? I'm a bit on the fence about this because I'm not sure it's on topic for centos@, but maybe it's OK and not much noise to add to that list? What I mean about on-topic is that the Board deals with issues affecting contributors, who themselves are the interaction points with their userbase. If I were an end user of e.g. RDO, I would find it confusing that in addition to RDO leadership there is this group above the Cloud SIG making decisions, should I be worried about them, what is going on, etc. So the norm so far has been to have SIGs communicate with their userbases, including the Core SIG and CentOS Linux users. (Don't be too confused that some of the people in the Core SIG are also Directors; in wearing different hats, we have to be prepared to speak from different authority points.) We can change up that norm, but I think it's worth discussing with the SIG leaders how they want Board communication handled for their userbase. Does that make sense? So for this time I'm just sending to the contributor list and posting on the blog. Let's keep discussing and see if there is a consensus on if and how to include the userbase in this transparency, perhaps as soon as the Jan 2020 meeting.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS Wiki.centos.org migration (last monday) Finishing templates for mailman ansible role (new look with community members) Preparing the next migration (sponsor relocates DC and new machines): www.centos.org (on track, to be announced) Forums (scheduled for next monday) Starting new ansible roles to automate deploy + upgrade of those migrated services Working on koji (cbs.dev) to see when we can import 8.1 content to let SIGs build against/for .el8 and .el8s (Stream) Collaborating with Artwork SIG for new design for http exposed services (new centos design) QA for 8-Stream and 8.1.1911 continues Fedora Production issues with Bodhi: Bodhi is under investigation for misbehaving.

During that time, some operators will be monitoring tickets and services for large scale outages, but will not be active on IRC or email. The ability of the operators to fix problems is also limited because some operations require staff who will be away. People on duty will do what they can to repair and maintain services but do not give any ETA on how long it will take for it to be done. If you are making changes to infrastructure during this time, please treat it like a ?frozen? period. Unless it is an emergency repair, do not push changes without a review from a main system administrator. We would encourage you to bump your ticket or request early in the New Year (full service resumes January 6th) for our attention, otherwise we will work through the backlog of requests. We wish you and yours a happy holiday season and look forward to working with you in collaboration throughout 2020 and beyond. Comments? Suggestions? Feedback? Let Us Know!

This is an idea that has come up a few times from various Directors over the last several years. The item didn't make it on the Dec agenda because we're still working up the proposal; I think Jan is likely. My plan is to put out the proposal here prior to the meeting to get some initial feedback on how it's structured and would begin. My personal thinking is to follow the iterative opening-up method -- start with an invited group of people in a closed but public agenda/minutes session; do that for a period of time such as 6 months; then see when we might transition to adding more ways to observe in real time or via recording. This is all about balancing the needs of the various stakeholders, which range from small to large end users, upstream projects dependent on CentOS in various ways, Red Hat engineering and product groups that work upstream and downstream from CentOS, the various SIGs, ISVs, IHVs, and all their network of relationships, and so forth. Out of simplicity and an abundance of caution we got this? started on a private-only track 6 years ago, and deeply appreciate the patience of folks as we untangle old and present needs into better leadership.

Multiple Red Hat teams will be observing this period, including Fedora & CentOS infrastructure teams, and we want to raise awareness that availability will be minimal during this time. *While the formal shutdown period ends on the 2nd of January 2020, many people will not be back until Monday the 6th of January 2020. As all of our team members are also passionate Community members, there may be some coverage, but this is not guaranteed and will be on a best effort basis. Any coverage offered will ultimately be at the personal choice of the individual during their time off. We want to take this time to wish you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas period and a most prosperous New Year. We look forward to working closely with you over the coming year! 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. High Level Project Updates: CentOS The CR variant from the Stream composes, seems to work, 8.1.1911 will use a similar variant to populate the CR repo on the mirrors The team are also still working on preparing the next migration to wiki.centos.org www.centos.org Forums The team have started new ansible roles to automate deploy + upgrade of those migrated services We are still finishing templates for mailman ansible role (new look with community members) Working on koji (cbs.dev) to see when we can import 8.1 content to let SIGs build against/for .el8 and .el8s (Stream) The team are still investigating an Ansible upgrade for centos (currently on 2.6.20 and needs testing with 2.9) and then also with .el8 roles compatibility Fedora: General Updates Nagios plugins were fixed to work on EL8/F31 Support was added for fedora messaging wire format to jms-messaging plugin There is one prerequisite:RabbitMQ PR needs to be merged first Other work this week with RabbitMQ includes: An issue in RabbitMQ jms-messaging plugin PR was fixed Two new PR?s in Anitya The issue in the-new-hotness was also fixed when it stopped consuming messages - it was caused by empty version and the fix for this already in Anitya master The team deployed distgit-bugzilla-sync script in openshift Pagure Updates We also worked on pagure-dist-git PR review/merges this week The team cleaned up the bugzilla override patches for pagure-dist-git https://pagure.io/pagure-dist-git/pull-request/82 We modified output of pagure-dist-git/scripts/pagure_poc.py to include assignee information https://pagure.io/pagure-dist-git/pull-request/90 We updated distgit_bugzilla_sync/script.py to read the assignee information from above instead of fedora-scm-requests https://pagure.io/Fedora-Infra/distgit-bugzilla-sync/pull-request/40 We fixed mdapi headers for CORS: https://pagure.io/mdapi/pull-request/93 And they are already reviewed and merged :) We also wrote script to read assignee information from fedora-scm-requests and added it to dist-git Tiger Team Updates: OSBS Issue deploying the aarch64 cluster.

We had a bug in that compose that caused centos-release-stream to not get laid out on-disk at install time. Please run: `dnf install centos-release-stream` followed by `dnf update` For this respin of CentOS Stream we want to highlight new work in the kernel that enables Pressure Stall Information accounting: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/accounting/psi.html Give this a test! If there are comments related to this feature, feel free to start a discussion here on centos-devel. The latest CentOS Stream content is still seeding to the mirror network, but we expect it to coalesce over the next days. You can download install DVDs from the download page: https://www.centos.org/download/ A final note about CentOS Linux 8.1.1911: we are working diligently to get this ready for release. Stay tuned here for more information. We've included much of the same content as 8.1.1911 in this CentOS Stream respin both for your comments, and to help us promote CentOS Stream as a continuous feed of new features.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts :-) +1 to observers. And thank you to the board for having these hard conversations about transparency, and being willing to admit past failings and move forward boldly. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since it is a matter of a few minutes work to install one, run an update, and store your personal imae *with* enhanced networking enabled, Isn't it enough to simply have a base older OS to work with? If necessary, you can even restrict your updates to not use the "updates" repositories and only update to the next release time base image.

RHEL provides "kickstart" trees for each minor release, same as CentOS 8.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS: Migrated this week (new pkg, new ansible-role): Torrent.centos.org Ipv6.torrent.centos.org Prepared to be migrated next week: Wiki.centos.org Kicked off : new ansible roles in progress for : Bind to support dynamic delegated zone for acme dns-challenge Mailman and postfix CentOS Stream We have our first compose gone to Red Hat Internal QA for testing Other work still progressing on the builders Fedora: OSBS : aarch64 hosts ready for the deployment of an OpenShift cluster. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8442 The Community Fire Team (CFT) is a team of people dedicated to fixing bugs, annoyance and (small) RFE all around our applications.

As per some external discussions I am sending the patch + bug report on to this list. It has already been accepted into upstream kernels (4.19 included) and is a pretty straight forward backport.

Below is the agenda for that meeting that can be shared with the community and wider public. FYI, the "consent agenda" are items that have been discussed on mailing list or another forum where the Directors have reached consensus. This consent agenda is a way to capture and formalize those decisions, and to give Directors a final chance to bring an item up for discussion in a meeting before the decision is final. ** *Public agenda* *** 1. Looking at if Community Platform Engineering (CPE) can begin to build and release CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream into various public clouds. 2. Review of signing and release solutions for SIGs in the new year. 3. Rolling (last from 2019-11-13): 1. Any other topics aka ?What other things do you want on our key initiatives list for 2020?? 2. New branding work underway 1. Website update work: https://github.com/areguera/centos-style-websites 2. Framework proposed into logo discussion: https://git.centos.org/centos/Artwork/issue/1#comment-62 3. Looking at new Board membership and structure (ongoing) 4. Stepping-up our meeting norms (ongoing) 5. Transparency initiatives (ongoing) Public agenda consent items 1. Secretary role revitalized -- not formally in the governance yet, role is delegated meeting organization duties from the Chair to include calling for meetings, managing the private and public agenda for meetings, and handling the creation and release of private and public minutes. Karsten has volunteered to take this role until approximately June 2020. 2. Board intending to confirm support for planning a shift to sharing auth backends with the Fedora Project. * -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig From kwade at redhat.com Fri Dec 13 19:03:53 2019 From: kwade at redhat.com (Karsten Wade) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:03:53 -0500 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Patrick, Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda.

So with a public list of nominees, published interview with each nominee and public voting results? Is there a way for the Community to (self-)nominate? Jim already gave a succinct answer, but I thought you might be interested in my complete response. The short metaphorical answer is, where it comes to good transparency, the Board is just learning to crawl. As much as we want to begin working toward a marathon, we know we need to get through to learning to walk first. In order to be successful at what you describe, we need more time as an active and proper open source project. Fedora Project existed for many years with a high standard of transparency before the original Fedora Board was created. It then started as a blend of appointed (like me!) and elected Board members. Having been through that evolution, I have an intimate idea of how much longer it can take and more complex it can be than the ideal of e.g. starting from scratch with a new project. By comparison, my reckoning is the CentOS Project only began to act like a proper open source project around the time the Virt SIG was created to support the Xen kernel. Of course, the joining of forces with Red Hat was at the core an effort to create a contributor-centric project but primarily around the SIGs; we left other parts e.g. core Linux building alone as "don't break". Not forever, but for a while, and now that five yeas has passed, it's more than time to improve those parts, too. We've built on that plan with SIGs so now it is possible to contribute to a sizeable part of the project. But with the mix of legacy infrastructure, technical and governance debt from the last 7+ years, and the changing needs of a contributor base ... Frankly IMO, today we do not have a large enough community of leaders who could be nominated, nor a mature enough contributor base to hold voting. This is largely the fault of the existing leadership, specifically those of us on the Board of Directors. Lack of transparency and lack of focus on growing leaders I think are at the core of that situation. People have stepped up and tried, and not been enabled or supported as well as they could have been. The project has definitely been moving toward better transparency, to the point where the most obvious transparency problems are at the top of the governance. So we need a little more time before holding open elections in order to realize things such as transparency norms, consistent and productive meetings, and clear evolution. > For better Community coverage perhaps CentOS Board related postings could also be sent to the centos-announce and centos mailinglists? I'm a bit on the fence about this because I'm not sure it's on topic for centos@, but maybe it's OK and not much noise to add to that list? What I mean about on-topic is that the Board deals with issues affecting contributors, who themselves are the interaction points with their userbase. If I were an end user of e.g. RDO, I would find it confusing that in addition to RDO leadership there is this group above the Cloud SIG making decisions, should I be worried about them, what is going on, etc. So the norm so far has been to have SIGs communicate with their userbases, including the Core SIG and CentOS Linux users. (Don't be too confused that some of the people in the Core SIG are also Directors; in wearing different hats, we have to be prepared to speak from different authority points.) We can change up that norm, but I think it's worth discussing with the SIG leaders how they want Board communication handled for their userbase. Does that make sense? So for this time I'm just sending to the contributor list and posting on the blog. Let's keep discussing and see if there is a consensus on if and how to include the userbase in this transparency, perhaps as soon as the Jan 2020 meeting.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts :-) Tim > On 13 Dec 2019, at 20:03, Karsten Wade wrote: > > Hi Patrick, > > Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda.

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!

During that time, some operators will be monitoring tickets and services for large scale outages, but will not be active on IRC or email. The ability of the operators to fix problems is also limited because some operations require staff who will be away. People on duty will do what they can to repair and maintain services but do not give any ETA on how long it will take for it to be done. If you are making changes to infrastructure during this time, please treat it like a ?frozen? period. Unless it is an emergency repair, do not push changes without a review from a main system administrator. We would encourage you to bump your ticket or request early in the New Year (full service resumes January 6th) for our attention, otherwise we will work through the backlog of requests. We wish you and yours a happy holiday season and look forward to working with you in collaboration throughout 2020 and beyond. Comments? Suggestions? Feedback? Let Us Know!

My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts:-) Hi Tim As it happens, Rich Bowen and I have been talking through an idea for something like an advisory council that would be involved in discussions during a portion of a Board meeting, for much the similar purpose you describe. This is an idea that has come up a few times from various Directors over the last several years. The item didn't make it on the Dec agenda because we're still working up the proposal; I think Jan is likely. My plan is to put out the proposal here prior to the meeting to get some initial feedback on how it's structured and would begin. My personal thinking is to follow the iterative opening-up method -- start with an invited group of people in a closed but public agenda/minutes session; do that for a period of time such as 6 months; then see when we might transition to adding more ways to observe in real time or via recording. This is all about balancing the needs of the various stakeholders, which range from small to large end users, upstream projects dependent on CentOS in various ways, Red Hat engineering and product groups that work upstream and downstream from CentOS, the various SIGs, ISVs, IHVs, and all their network of relationships, and so forth. Out of simplicity and an abundance of caution we got this? started on a private-only track 6 years ago, and deeply appreciate the patience of folks as we untangle old and present needs into better leadership.

Important Note: Please note there will be no weekly emails over the holiday period of 23rd December 2019 - 2nd January 2020*. The next CPE weekly email will be sent on Friday 10th January 2020. As you may be aware, either from the CPE weekly emails or from previous years, Red Hat has a mandatory shutdown period between Christmas and New Year in many countries. This allows most associates to celebrate the holiday season with friends and family and recharge their batteries after a busy year. Multiple Red Hat teams will be observing this period, including Fedora & CentOS infrastructure teams, and we want to raise awareness that availability will be minimal during this time. *While the formal shutdown period ends on the 2nd of January 2020, many people will not be back until Monday the 6th of January 2020. As all of our team members are also passionate Community members, there may be some coverage, but this is not guaranteed and will be on a best effort basis. Any coverage offered will ultimately be at the personal choice of the individual during their time off. We want to take this time to wish you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas period and a most prosperous New Year. We look forward to working closely with you over the coming year!

We had a bug in that compose that caused centos-release-stream to not get laid out on-disk at install time. Please run: `dnf install centos-release-stream` followed by `dnf update` For this respin of CentOS Stream we want to highlight new work in the kernel that enables Pressure Stall Information accounting: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/accounting/psi.html Give this a test! If there are comments related to this feature, feel free to start a discussion here on centos-devel. The latest CentOS Stream content is still seeding to the mirror network, but we expect it to coalesce over the next days. You can download install DVDs from the download page: https://www.centos.org/download/ A final note about CentOS Linux 8.1.1911: we are working diligently to get this ready for release. Stay tuned here for more information. We've included much of the same content as 8.1.1911 in this CentOS Stream respin both for your comments, and to help us promote CentOS Stream as a continuous feed of new features.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts :-) +1 to observers. And thank you to the board for having these hard conversations about transparency, and being willing to admit past failings and move forward boldly. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS: Migrated this week (new pkg, new ansible-role): Torrent.centos.org Ipv6.torrent.centos.org Prepared to be migrated next week: Wiki.centos.org Kicked off : new ansible roles in progress for : Bind to support dynamic delegated zone for acme dns-challenge Mailman and postfix CentOS Stream We have our first compose gone to Red Hat Internal QA for testing Other work still progressing on the builders Fedora: OSBS : aarch64 hosts ready for the deployment of an OpenShift cluster. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8442 The Community Fire Team (CFT) is a team of people dedicated to fixing bugs, annoyance and (small) RFE all around our applications.

We're in the middle of doing the CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Linux 8.1.1911 releases that will contain this module stream. Our intention is to try to get that module published in the pre-release CR repository (https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR) when everything is ready. Modules are a new thing for us, and we're working through if a modularized CR is going to cause trouble or not. --Brian From strigazi at gmail.com Thu Dec 12 10:36:24 2019 From: strigazi at gmail.com (Spyros Trigazis) Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 11:36:24 +0100 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Centos Atomic deprecated?

Below is the agenda for that meeting that can be shared with the community and wider public. FYI, the "consent agenda" are items that have been discussed on mailing list or another forum where the Directors have reached consensus. This consent agenda is a way to capture and formalize those decisions, and to give Directors a final chance to bring an item up for discussion in a meeting before the decision is final. ** *Public agenda* *** 1. Looking at if Community Platform Engineering (CPE) can begin to build and release CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream into various public clouds. 2. Review of signing and release solutions for SIGs in the new year. 3. Rolling (last from 2019-11-13): 1. Any other topics aka ?What other things do you want on our key initiatives list for 2020?? 2. New branding work underway 1. Website update work: https://github.com/areguera/centos-style-websites 2. Framework proposed into logo discussion: https://git.centos.org/centos/Artwork/issue/1#comment-62 3. Looking at new Board membership and structure (ongoing) 4. Stepping-up our meeting norms (ongoing) 5. Transparency initiatives (ongoing) Public agenda consent items 1. Secretary role revitalized -- not formally in the governance yet, role is delegated meeting organization duties from the Chair to include calling for meetings, managing the private and public agenda for meetings, and handling the creation and release of private and public minutes. Karsten has volunteered to take this role until approximately June 2020. 2. Board intending to confirm support for planning a shift to sharing auth backends with the Fedora Project. * -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig From kwade at redhat.com Fri Dec 13 19:03:53 2019 From: kwade at redhat.com (Karsten Wade) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:03:53 -0500 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Patrick, Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda.

So with a public list of nominees, published interview with each nominee and public voting results? Is there a way for the Community to (self-)nominate? Jim already gave a succinct answer, but I thought you might be interested in my complete response. The short metaphorical answer is, where it comes to good transparency, the Board is just learning to crawl. As much as we want to begin working toward a marathon, we know we need to get through to learning to walk first. In order to be successful at what you describe, we need more time as an active and proper open source project. Fedora Project existed for many years with a high standard of transparency before the original Fedora Board was created. It then started as a blend of appointed (like me!) and elected Board members. Having been through that evolution, I have an intimate idea of how much longer it can take and more complex it can be than the ideal of e.g. starting from scratch with a new project. By comparison, my reckoning is the CentOS Project only began to act like a proper open source project around the time the Virt SIG was created to support the Xen kernel. Of course, the joining of forces with Red Hat was at the core an effort to create a contributor-centric project but primarily around the SIGs; we left other parts e.g. core Linux building alone as "don't break". Not forever, but for a while, and now that five yeas has passed, it's more than time to improve those parts, too. We've built on that plan with SIGs so now it is possible to contribute to a sizeable part of the project. But with the mix of legacy infrastructure, technical and governance debt from the last 7+ years, and the changing needs of a contributor base ... Frankly IMO, today we do not have a large enough community of leaders who could be nominated, nor a mature enough contributor base to hold voting. This is largely the fault of the existing leadership, specifically those of us on the Board of Directors. Lack of transparency and lack of focus on growing leaders I think are at the core of that situation. People have stepped up and tried, and not been enabled or supported as well as they could have been. The project has definitely been moving toward better transparency, to the point where the most obvious transparency problems are at the top of the governance. So we need a little more time before holding open elections in order to realize things such as transparency norms, consistent and productive meetings, and clear evolution. > For better Community coverage perhaps CentOS Board related postings could also be sent to the centos-announce and centos mailinglists? I'm a bit on the fence about this because I'm not sure it's on topic for centos@, but maybe it's OK and not much noise to add to that list? What I mean about on-topic is that the Board deals with issues affecting contributors, who themselves are the interaction points with their userbase. If I were an end user of e.g. RDO, I would find it confusing that in addition to RDO leadership there is this group above the Cloud SIG making decisions, should I be worried about them, what is going on, etc. So the norm so far has been to have SIGs communicate with their userbases, including the Core SIG and CentOS Linux users. (Don't be too confused that some of the people in the Core SIG are also Directors; in wearing different hats, we have to be prepared to speak from different authority points.) We can change up that norm, but I think it's worth discussing with the SIG leaders how they want Board communication handled for their userbase. Does that make sense? So for this time I'm just sending to the contributor list and posting on the blog. Let's keep discussing and see if there is a consensus on if and how to include the userbase in this transparency, perhaps as soon as the Jan 2020 meeting.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts :-) Tim > On 13 Dec 2019, at 20:03, Karsten Wade wrote: > > Hi Patrick, > > Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic.

During that time, some operators will be monitoring tickets and services for large scale outages, but will not be active on IRC or email. The ability of the operators to fix problems is also limited because some operations require staff who will be away. People on duty will do what they can to repair and maintain services but do not give any ETA on how long it will take for it to be done. If you are making changes to infrastructure during this time, please treat it like a ?frozen? period. Unless it is an emergency repair, do not push changes without a review from a main system administrator. We would encourage you to bump your ticket or request early in the New Year (full service resumes January 6th) for our attention, otherwise we will work through the backlog of requests. We wish you and yours a happy holiday season and look forward to working with you in collaboration throughout 2020 and beyond. Comments? Suggestions? Feedback? Let Us Know!

This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts:-) Hi Tim As it happens, Rich Bowen and I have been talking through an idea for something like an advisory council that would be involved in discussions during a portion of a Board meeting, for much the similar purpose you describe. This is an idea that has come up a few times from various Directors over the last several years. The item didn't make it on the Dec agenda because we're still working up the proposal; I think Jan is likely. My plan is to put out the proposal here prior to the meeting to get some initial feedback on how it's structured and would begin. My personal thinking is to follow the iterative opening-up method -- start with an invited group of people in a closed but public agenda/minutes session; do that for a period of time such as 6 months; then see when we might transition to adding more ways to observe in real time or via recording. This is all about balancing the needs of the various stakeholders, which range from small to large end users, upstream projects dependent on CentOS in various ways, Red Hat engineering and product groups that work upstream and downstream from CentOS, the various SIGs, ISVs, IHVs, and all their network of relationships, and so forth. Out of simplicity and an abundance of caution we got this? started on a private-only track 6 years ago, and deeply appreciate the patience of folks as we untangle old and present needs into better leadership.

Important Note: Please note there will be no weekly emails over the holiday period of 23rd December 2019 - 2nd January 2020*. The next CPE weekly email will be sent on Friday 10th January 2020. As you may be aware, either from the CPE weekly emails or from previous years, Red Hat has a mandatory shutdown period between Christmas and New Year in many countries. This allows most associates to celebrate the holiday season with friends and family and recharge their batteries after a busy year. Multiple Red Hat teams will be observing this period, including Fedora & CentOS infrastructure teams, and we want to raise awareness that availability will be minimal during this time. *While the formal shutdown period ends on the 2nd of January 2020, many people will not be back until Monday the 6th of January 2020. As all of our team members are also passionate Community members, there may be some coverage, but this is not guaranteed and will be on a best effort basis. Any coverage offered will ultimately be at the personal choice of the individual during their time off. We want to take this time to wish you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas period and a most prosperous New Year. We look forward to working closely with you over the coming year! 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.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts :-) +1 to observers. And thank you to the board for having these hard conversations about transparency, and being willing to admit past failings and move forward boldly. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm sort of against sending these to -announce, but only because we have a number of people who parse that list with automated tooling, not because folks actually read it.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS: Migrated this week (new pkg, new ansible-role): Torrent.centos.org Ipv6.torrent.centos.org Prepared to be migrated next week: Wiki.centos.org Kicked off : new ansible roles in progress for : Bind to support dynamic delegated zone for acme dns-challenge Mailman and postfix CentOS Stream We have our first compose gone to Red Hat Internal QA for testing Other work still progressing on the builders Fedora: OSBS : aarch64 hosts ready for the deployment of an OpenShift cluster. https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8442 The Community Fire Team (CFT) is a team of people dedicated to fixing bugs, annoyance and (small) RFE all around our applications. Their work is tracked in taiga at: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/community-fire-team/kanban and they use #fedora-apps for discussion and coordination. As usual, anyone is welcome to join the team, for a day, a task or more!

We're in the middle of doing the CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Linux 8.1.1911 releases that will contain this module stream. Our intention is to try to get that module published in the pre-release CR repository (https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR) when everything is ready. Modules are a new thing for us, and we're working through if a modularized CR is going to cause trouble or not. --Brian From strigazi at gmail.com Thu Dec 12 10:36:24 2019 From: strigazi at gmail.com (Spyros Trigazis) Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 11:36:24 +0100 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Centos Atomic deprecated?

The symptom of this issue is that memory will continue allocating in slab over time making a box oom after too many connections. As per some external discussions I am sending the patch + bug report on to this list. It has already been accepted into upstream kernels (4.19 included) and is a pretty straight forward backport.

Below is the agenda for that meeting that can be shared with the community and wider public. FYI, the "consent agenda" are items that have been discussed on mailing list or another forum where the Directors have reached consensus. This consent agenda is a way to capture and formalize those decisions, and to give Directors a final chance to bring an item up for discussion in a meeting before the decision is final. ** *Public agenda* *** 1. Looking at if Community Platform Engineering (CPE) can begin to build and release CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream into various public clouds. 2. Review of signing and release solutions for SIGs in the new year. 3. Rolling (last from 2019-11-13): 1. Any other topics aka ?What other things do you want on our key initiatives list for 2020?? 2. New branding work underway 1. Website update work: https://github.com/areguera/centos-style-websites 2. Framework proposed into logo discussion: https://git.centos.org/centos/Artwork/issue/1#comment-62 3. Looking at new Board membership and structure (ongoing) 4. Stepping-up our meeting norms (ongoing) 5. Transparency initiatives (ongoing) Public agenda consent items 1. Secretary role revitalized -- not formally in the governance yet, role is delegated meeting organization duties from the Chair to include calling for meetings, managing the private and public agenda for meetings, and handling the creation and release of private and public minutes. Karsten has volunteered to take this role until approximately June 2020. 2. Board intending to confirm support for planning a shift to sharing auth backends with the Fedora Project. * -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig From kwade at redhat.com Fri Dec 13 19:03:53 2019 From: kwade at redhat.com (Karsten Wade) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:03:53 -0500 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Patrick, Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda. I'll be sure to watch more carefully in the future, part of the reason for sending to this list is to have these discussions. Rest of my lengthy answers inline below: On 11/27/19 9:34 AM, Patrick Laimbock wrote: > That's great news. Will the process be similar to how it's done in the Fedora Project [1]? So with a public list of nominees, published interview with each nominee and public voting results? Is there a way for the Community to (self-)nominate? Jim already gave a succinct answer, but I thought you might be interested in my complete response. The short metaphorical answer is, where it comes to good transparency, the Board is just learning to crawl. As much as we want to begin working toward a marathon, we know we need to get through to learning to walk first. In order to be successful at what you describe, we need more time as an active and proper open source project. Fedora Project existed for many years with a high standard of transparency before the original Fedora Board was created. It then started as a blend of appointed (like me!) and elected Board members. Having been through that evolution, I have an intimate idea of how much longer it can take and more complex it can be than the ideal of e.g. starting from scratch with a new project. By comparison, my reckoning is the CentOS Project only began to act like a proper open source project around the time the Virt SIG was created to support the Xen kernel. Of course, the joining of forces with Red Hat was at the core an effort to create a contributor-centric project but primarily around the SIGs; we left other parts e.g. core Linux building alone as "don't break". Not forever, but for a while, and now that five yeas has passed, it's more than time to improve those parts, too. We've built on that plan with SIGs so now it is possible to contribute to a sizeable part of the project. But with the mix of legacy infrastructure, technical and governance debt from the last 7+ years, and the changing needs of a contributor base ... Frankly IMO, today we do not have a large enough community of leaders who could be nominated, nor a mature enough contributor base to hold voting. This is largely the fault of the existing leadership, specifically those of us on the Board of Directors. Lack of transparency and lack of focus on growing leaders I think are at the core of that situation. People have stepped up and tried, and not been enabled or supported as well as they could have been. The project has definitely been moving toward better transparency, to the point where the most obvious transparency problems are at the top of the governance. So we need a little more time before holding open elections in order to realize things such as transparency norms, consistent and productive meetings, and clear evolution. > For better Community coverage perhaps CentOS Board related postings could also be sent to the centos-announce and centos mailinglists? I'm a bit on the fence about this because I'm not sure it's on topic for centos@, but maybe it's OK and not much noise to add to that list? What I mean about on-topic is that the Board deals with issues affecting contributors, who themselves are the interaction points with their userbase. If I were an end user of e.g. RDO, I would find it confusing that in addition to RDO leadership there is this group above the Cloud SIG making decisions, should I be worried about them, what is going on, etc. So the norm so far has been to have SIGs communicate with their userbases, including the Core SIG and CentOS Linux users. (Don't be too confused that some of the people in the Core SIG are also Directors; in wearing different hats, we have to be prepared to speak from different authority points.) We can change up that norm, but I think it's worth discussing with the SIG leaders how they want Board communication handled for their userbase. Does that make sense? So for this time I'm just sending to the contributor list and posting on the blog. Let's keep discussing and see if there is a consensus on if and how to include the userbase in this transparency, perhaps as soon as the Jan 2020 meeting.

These initiatives do take time to evolve and from our side, we appreciate the work which is going on. One possible option for the future would be to provide observer status for the board meetings. This would allow interested parties to listen in and follow the activities. My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts :-) Tim > On 13 Dec 2019, at 20:03, Karsten Wade wrote: > > Hi Patrick, > > Sorry I missed this before, just found the discussion when working on the current agenda.

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. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic. High Level Project Updates: CentOS Wiki.centos.org migration (last monday) Finishing templates for mailman ansible role (new look with community members) Preparing the next migration (sponsor relocates DC and new machines): www.centos.org (on track, to be announced) Forums (scheduled for next monday) Starting new ansible roles to automate deploy + upgrade of those migrated services Working on koji (cbs.dev) to see when we can import 8.1 content to let SIGs build against/for .el8 and .el8s (Stream) Collaborating with Artwork SIG for new design for http exposed services (new centos design) QA for 8-Stream and 8.1.1911 continues Fedora Production issues with Bodhi: Bodhi is under investigation for misbehaving.

During that time, some operators will be monitoring tickets and services for large scale outages, but will not be active on IRC or email. The ability of the operators to fix problems is also limited because some operations require staff who will be away. People on duty will do what they can to repair and maintain services but do not give any ETA on how long it will take for it to be done. If you are making changes to infrastructure during this time, please treat it like a ?frozen? period. Unless it is an emergency repair, do not push changes without a review from a main system administrator. We would encourage you to bump your ticket or request early in the New Year (full service resumes January 6th) for our attention, otherwise we will work through the backlog of requests. We wish you and yours a happy holiday season and look forward to working with you in collaboration throughout 2020 and beyond. Comments? Suggestions? Feedback? Let Us Know!

My experience of open source project board meetings is that this also helps for those who might be interested to get involved in project governance to understand the discussions (and in some cases determine there are other areas they would prefer to devote their efforts:-) Hi Tim As it happens, Rich Bowen and I have been talking through an idea for something like an advisory council that would be involved in discussions during a portion of a Board meeting, for much the similar purpose you describe. This is an idea that has come up a few times from various Directors over the last several years. The item didn't make it on the Dec agenda because we're still working up the proposal; I think Jan is likely. My plan is to put out the proposal here prior to the meeting to get some initial feedback on how it's structured and would begin. My personal thinking is to follow the iterative opening-up method -- start with an invited group of people in a closed but public agenda/minutes session; do that for a period of time such as 6 months; then see when we might transition to adding more ways to observe in real time or via recording. This is all about balancing the needs of the various stakeholders, which range from small to large end users, upstream projects dependent on CentOS in various ways, Red Hat engineering and product groups that work upstream and downstream from CentOS, the various SIGs, ISVs, IHVs, and all their network of relationships, and so forth. Out of simplicity and an abundance of caution we got this? started on a private-only track 6 years ago, and deeply appreciate the patience of folks as we untangle old and present needs into better leadership.

Important Note: Please note there will be no weekly emails over the holiday period of 23rd December 2019 - 2nd January 2020*. The next CPE weekly email will be sent on Friday 10th January 2020. As you may be aware, either from the CPE weekly emails or from previous years, Red Hat has a mandatory shutdown period between Christmas and New Year in many countries. This allows most associates to celebrate the holiday season with friends and family and recharge their batteries after a busy year. Multiple Red Hat teams will be observing this period, including Fedora & CentOS infrastructure teams, and we want to raise awareness that availability will be minimal during this time. *While the formal shutdown period ends on the 2nd of January 2020, many people will not be back until Monday the 6th of January 2020. As all of our team members are also passionate Community members, there may be some coverage, but this is not guaranteed and will be on a best effort basis. Any coverage offered will ultimately be at the personal choice of the individual during their time off. We want to take this time to wish you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas period and a most prosperous New Year. We look forward to working closely with you over the coming year! 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.
