My name is Jess Chitas and I am an intern at Red Hat focusing on contributing to the Fedora community. Over the past couple of months, I have been fortunate enough to work on the new Nest, Flock, and Hatch logos as well as — Colúr — a new Fedora character! In this post, I document my journey from creating Colúr to revamping the Nest, Flock, and Hatch logos!

Continue readingFedora’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) team is starting to work on the Fedora Week of Diversity (FWD) 2022. This year, we’ll hold a live event on 14–15 October. We want the FWD to be the best one yet and you can help us accomplish this. This is a great opportunity for you to share your experiences with the Fedora community!
The DEI team always welcomes new folks to join! We would love to have a larger group of volunteers to make Fedora Week of Diversity bigger and better this year. Help us celebrate our diverse and inclusive community, by signing up to volunteer.

We had six sessions in total, four in person and two online sessions with friends from Mexico and Venezuela, with the addition of an hour of Fedora networking on YouTube and Twitch.

Continue readingThis is a summary of the work done on initiatives by the CPE Team. Each quarter CPE Team together with CentOS and Fedora community representatives choose initiatives that will be being worked on in this quarter. The CPE Team is then split into multiple smaller sub-teams that will work on chosen initiatives + day to day work that needs to be done.
Following is the list of sub-teams in this quarter:
Purpose of this sub-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.). This sub-team is also investigating possible initiatives. This is done by ARC (The Advance Reconnaissance Crew), which is formed from the Infra & Releng sub-team members based on the initiative that is being investigated.

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.

The ‘extras-common’ repo for Stream 8 and 9 became available for SIGs to build from. The team also worked on bringing the Stream 8 and Stream 9 workflows closer together by importing existing 8 builds in koji to 9 stream koji . Stream 9’s build environment also found a new home in Q1, we moved its hardware ‘down the street’ aka into a new section of the datacenter they live in now with little to no disruption to workflows of users. We also added Centpkg to EPEL 9 and a new version of Content Resolver with an integrated buildroot resolver went live with views of ELN and Stream was also released in Q1 of this year.
Integration of Image builder as a service with Fedora infra to allow Fedora IoT migrate their pipeline to Fedora infra.
The team began this initiative by successfully running Image Builder locally while studying documentation on how to write the Koji plugin necessary to complete the pipeline migration. Once that was completed, the sub-team worked with members of the Image Builder team to install the Koji plugin into a staging environment. Further work to be completed by the Image Builder team is to move the plugin to their production environment. The team also completed the handover to the infrastructure team.
This initiative is to separate Bodhi into multiple sub packages, fix integration and unit tests in CI, fix dependency management and automate part of the release process.

Authentication
Bodhi gained support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication, like most of Fedora’s webapps. OpenID still works but is not the default, you can access it by using `/login?method=openid` as the login URL.
Version 6.0 of the Bodhi client uses only OIDC, plain OpenID support has been dropped. Version 5.7.5 of the Bodhi client, however, uses the new OpenID login URL, so you need at least version 5.7.5 to use the Bodhi client.
The client’s API has changed, so if you have a piece of code that imports from `bodhi.client`, you’ll have to update it to use the new API, and in the meantime use version 5.7.5.
As a user of the `bodhi` CLI, you’ll notice that the `–username` and `–password` options have disappeared. Instead the Bodhi client will ask you to open your browser to a URL to authenticate. The authentication tokens will be saved and you’ll be able to use the `bodhi` CLI without authenticating afterwards (or non-interactively).
Code reorganization
The Bodhi source code has been reorganized to drop the hacks used in `setup.py` to support sub-projects. Instead, `bodhi-server`, `bodhi-client` and `bodhi-messages` are now actual Python package directories in the repo. The import path has not changed.
Bodhi’s Python project metadata and dependencies are now managed with Poetry.
Other changes
Duffy is a system within CentOS CI Infra which allows tenants to provision and access bare metal resources of multiple architectures for the purposes of CI testing.
We need to add the ability to checkout VMs in CentOS CI in Duffy. We have OpenNebula hypervisor available, and have started developing playbooks which can be used to create VMs using the OpenNebula API, but due to the current state of how Duffy is deployed, we are blocked with new dev work to add the VM checkout functionality.

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.
