# CPE Weekly: 2020-06-07

Background:
The Community Platform Engineering group is the Red Hat team combining
IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Our goal is to keep
core servers and services running and maintained, build releases, and
other strategic tasks that need more dedicated time than volunteers
can give.


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


## General Project Updates

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

currently working on, what we have scoped and whats in our backlog

## Fedora Updates




### Data Centre Move
* A reduced services offering of Fedora will begin tomorrow, June 8th
until July 28th, est.
* This is to complete the final shipment of hardware from Phoenix to
Washington, so please be patient and understanding during this
timeframe as some services will be off and the rest, much slower.
* Please read the below email sent by kfenzi if you have not already
done so: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/E7HJULW2S76FZCAICURWXX223N5ZXXD7/
* Details on what this move may mean for you can be found here
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/27U6YT73556KYW2RIFJO6J2HYMYVP22U/
* If an application is not working correctly at all, please check this
list https://hackmd.io/hpYYJQRjQy-oHxUS7IonIA?view before opening a
ticket to make sure its not listed as being moved. If it is being
moved, please wait a day or two, then try again.
* Similarly, please be patient when opening tickets for service issues
in general as we have now reached the critical point in this move and
all of our sys-admins and wider teams will be assisting in the
successful bringup of the reduced Fedora service and facilitation of
the final hardware shipment and move.



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





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



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

## CentOS Updates

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




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


















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


Have a great week ahead!
