There are a lot of things happening behind the scenes that needed to be resolved before we open up the gates and do builds against CentOS 8 or CentOS Stream buildroots. Here are the 2 major items:

- Upgrading koji inCBS: (Fabian and Thomas can correct me if I'm wrong) This should be ready enough to set a date for the upgrade

- Dealing with modular content in the buildroot: We're closer than I expected us to be and I'd like to finish this discussion with a proposal

Over the past few weeks, we haven't been holding the regular CBS meeting since most of us were busy wrangling these items and others. I'd like for us to start the meetings back again on Monday 22-October 14:00 UTC in #centos-meeting on Freenode

At the 22-October meeting, we'll outline the solutions and proposals we came up with and decide on a schedule (if the necessary folks are present). Come join us for that discussion.
