Highlights of the week
Infrastructure & Release Engineering
Goal of this Initiative
Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work.
It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors, mass branching, new namespaces etc.).
The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might take on.

Update
Fedora Infra
- Got all our power9 boxes rebooted and vm’s setup for better nested virt
- koji upgraded to 1.32.0

CentOS Infra including CentOS CI
- Resolved the ODCS fire in CentOS Stream
Release Engineering
- Fedora Linux 38 in in freeze, f38-updates-testing is now live
- FTBFS bugzillas filled, but late so we are missing logs from the tasks adding this to the schedule tracker might helps us avoid this in the future https://pagure.io/fedora-pgm/schedule/issue/111
CentOS Stream
Goal of this Initiative
This initiative is working on CentOS Stream/Emerging RHEL to make this new distribution a reality. The goal of this initiative is to prepare the ecosystem for the new CentOS Stream.
Updates
- Fixed a problem with composes not starting in ODCS: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CS-1468
- Work continues on the c8s workflow change.
- Progress being made on support for –rhel-target in centpkg
- Fedora ELN is moving to x86_64-v3 baseline
EPEL
Goal of this initiative
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL).
EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more.
Updates
- EPEL 8 Modular is officially retired
- Added fasjson-client to EPEL 9
- Built outline for EPEL docs overhaul
FMN replacement
Goal of this initiative
FMN (Fedora-Messaging-Notification) is a web application allowing users to create filters on messages sent to (currently) fedmsg and forward these as notifications on to email or IRC.
The goal of the initiative is mainly to add fedora-messaging schemas, create a new UI for a better user experience and create a new service to triage incoming messages to reduce the current message delivery lag problem. Community will profit from speedier notifications based on own preferences (IRC, Matrix, Email), unified fedora project to one message service and human-readable results in Datagrepper.
Also, CPE tech debt will be significantly reduced by dropping the maintenance of fedmsg altogether.
Updates
- More message schemas have been modified to conform to the new Fedora Messaging requirements
- Admin interface (in review)
- Cache reading rules from DB
Community Design
Goal of this initiative
CPE has few members that are working as part of Community Design Team. This team is working on anything related to design in Fedora Community.
Updates
- Fedora CBS logo for RedHat IT underway.
- Fedora Cloud front page design discussions post. Server front page in progress.
- Podman illustrations – looking into options for animation.
- Youki and Conmon-RS logo progress.
- Dark versions on Fedora colours now available!
