CPE Weekly: 2020-08-14
by Aoife Moloney 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

--- title: CPE Weekly status email tags: CPE Weekly, email --- # CPE Weekly: 2020-08-14 Background: The Community Platform Engineering group, or CPE for short, 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 The CPE team are working on the following projects for Quarter 3, which is the months of July, August & September: * Data Centre Move - Final Works * CentOS Stream Phase 3 * Noggin Phase 3 * Packager Workflow Healthcare * Fedora Messaging Schemas Details of the above projects, and of projects currently in progress, done and what projects are in our backlog, can be found on our taiga board per project card: https://tree.taiga.io/project/amoloney1-cpe-team-projects/kanban?epic=null We also have an updated initiative timetable for briefing in new projects to our team & key dates 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. ### CPE Product Owner Office Hours #### #fedora-meeting-1 * Weekly on Thursdays @ 1300 UTC on #fedora-meeting-1 * Next Meeting: 2020-08-20 #### #centos-meeting * Every second Tuesday @ 1500 UTC on #centos-meeting * Next Meeting: 2020-08-18 ### Misc #### Nest With Fedora Note Thank you to everyone who attended Nest With Fedora over the weekend and engaged with us during our talks and social sessions. It was a fantastic event, very well put together and run by the Fedora team and it was both my pleasure and honour to have been a part of what was a fantastic schedule! I cant wait to catch up on talks I missed when they are uploaded, and the CPE team, with thanks to Michal Konecny who put the structure of our piece together, will be submitting a collaborative blog post to the Community blog space in the coming weeks, recapping our experience at Nest this year. Well done Marie Nordin, Matthew Miller and the wider team, and our very own Vipul Siddarth, on what was a very successful and enjoyable event! #### Engagement Email Feedback At the beginning of July I sent an email to devel-announce requesting feedback from the community on changes I and the wider CPE team have made when scheduling projects to work on, in an effort to find the balance between work and life. We are still searching :) However, I got some very good tips that I will definitely be incorporating which I shared at Nest during the CPE AMA Session and in reply to the original mail. The link to the mails are here for full reading https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedorapr… But the suggestions and actions are here for quicker reference: Continue to communicate regularly on projects & updates - Will do, weekly emails have been a bit more sporadic lately as I have had some time off Less acronyms & abbreviations in comms :) - Sure, that's an easy fix on my end and makes sense Publish team members timezone on docs.fpo/cpe to help define our ‘working hours’ - Will do, I hope to get to this by end of August and they will be reflected on docs.fpo/cpe Publish the workflow diagram to docs.fpo/cpe and add filtered versions that are user specific - Same as above, publishing it on docs.fpo/cpe-initiatives Office Hours on IRC are a useful way to contact team Product Owner - Great to hear, please feel free to stop by when you can/want to. They are on Thursdays @ 1300 UTC on #fedora-meeting-1 and every second Tuesday @ 1500 UTC on #centos-meeting Public tracker for bugs - Our team meets twice a day, every day on IRC to review tickets and issues to work on. They meet @ 0830 UTC on #centos-meeting and again @ 1800 UTC on #fedora-admin. These are public meetings so please feel free to attend. If you would like to offer any further suggestions or feedback on the Community Platform Engineering team, please feel free to complete our survey which is open until August 30th https://fedoraproject.limequery.com/696793?lang=en ## Fedora Updates ### Data Centre Move * Nearly done!!!!!! * Firewalls for staging are going up this week * Last of the hardware has been set up for networking changes * The bringup of Communishift is being made into a dedicated project for work as soon as the team have capacity to do so - this may be in late September as the members of the colo team will (hopefully) take some very well deserved time off work before tackling this one :) ### AAA Replacement * Some of the Noggin team have been enjoying some very well deserved time off work over the last week or two so work has, naturally slowed. * The code is currently being security audited by Patrick Uiterwijk, thank you Patrick! * Next steps will be to successfully deploy Noggin to staging when it has been brought back up - we are estimating this to be late next week * Once Noggin has been deployed to staging, we would love some community feedback on the application and its performance. We will be emailing the infra/devel lists on when to test and how to give us feedback when we are fully deployed in stg. * In the meantime. 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 ### Fedora Messaging Schemas * This project is being worked on by the same team as Noggin, so there has been some progress made but not a lot as team members enjoy some holidays * The team have already built a list of applications that require messaging schemas, list can be found here https://hackmd.io/@nilsph/H1i8CAbkP/edit * They also have completed a readme which contains documentation on messaging schemas, a cookie-cutter template to create the schema and a definition of Done for writing a schemas https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedora-messaging-schemas-issues * The board they are working from can be viewed here https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/7 ### Packager Workflow Healthcare * Project information: This is an investigative project that aims to look at the entire packager workflow as a single piece of tooling to identify where failures happen, and try to identify when and why packages fail at different points within the workflow. We hope to have two possible outcomes from this project at the end of the quarter (September): * The workflow breaks at X point and we will work on a solution to fix * OR * The workflow works fine, but we will need better monitoring on the pipeline so we will work on a solution for this * The team are using this Monitor-Script https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/monitor-gating/ and are making improvements to it on resiliency/reliability. * They are finishing the investigation phase of the project and are going to document the packager workflow (with graphs I have been promised!) showcasing how the different systems interact with one another * And are working on an outline of the workflow steps (from packager PoV) and systems involved (CPE team PoV), identifying metrics to be measured * The teams work is being tracked here https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/cpe-cicd/kanban ## CentOS Updates ### CentOS * CentOS-infra team have created a ticket board, check it out here https://pagure.io/centos-infra/boards/CentOS%20CI%20Infra * CBS Koji x86 builders moved to new(er) infrastructure (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2020-August/055988.html) * The team also caught up C6, C7 and C8 Linux .. 2 outstanding Bootstrap Modules for C8 Linux (eclipse and the latest rust-toolset). ### CentOS Stream * Not too much to report this week - The team are mostly working on developing utility scripts that will ease the CentOS 8 and CentOS Stream packaging workflow and business as usual updates to CentOS Stream. 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!

Metrics: Package updates each release and package review time
by Justin W. Flory (he/him) 10 Aug '20

10 Aug '20

Hi all, CommOps received a request to build metrics for (1) what packages are updated every Fedora release, and (2) how long on average package reviews take; however, we do not have capacity to take this request. Per discussion at Nest, I am following up on Fedora Infrastructure list to explore if there is capacity elsewhere for this work. The ticket with this request was opened by Brian Exelbierd in March 2018. The CommOps team first approached this work two years ago, but our volunteer team does not have capacity to meet this request: https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/144 At Nest, we briefly discussed with cverna in the CommOps metrics hack session that this request is more likely a question of which system to query and how (versus building new tooling or collecting new data). I was actioned to open a discussion on the Infrastructure mailing list to explore if this is of interest to the Fedora Packaging community. If so, the C.P.E. team may be able to redirect this request to the right place. I am closing the CommOps ticket once I send this mail, but I am happy to move the request to a new Pagure issue in a different repo if someone is interested in taking up this request. Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory (he/him) https://jwf.io TZ=America/New_York

bug on display DPI , Component cinnamon.
by Cătălin George Feștilă 08 Aug '20

08 Aug '20

I haven't completed a bug in a while. Now with the new badge system, I suspect it is even more complex to add to the contribution of each user. I did not find any indication of how to proceed for the badge. 1. Maybe someone will help me and tell me if I have to go somewhere else. 2. The bug can be found at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1867313 Thank you.

Tech debt analysis tool
by James Richardson 08 Aug '20

08 Aug '20

Hi All, Vipul and I are looking into several different tools that will allow us to better analyze our tech debt with any new code that is merged into apps in http://github.com/fedora-infra. Currently, we have looked at the tools below, but we would love any and all input from the team and community on this. SonarCloud LGTM ShiftLeft Our goal is to find an open source tool that is easy to integrate as well as providing useful and timely feedback. So far, SonarCloud has proved to be the one that looks best, but again, we are very open to any and all suggestions, and at this early stage, a good conversation to arrive at the best solution.

Fedora Infra and Releng doc hackfest
by Mark O'Brien 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Hi All, Recently a few of us had a discussion on the way our docs are grouped and presented. As a newcomer interested in CentOS-Infra/Fedora-Infra/RelEng, it can be difficult to navigate them in the state they are in currently. This led to the idea of a Hackfest to create a central starting point for docs (indexing/merging/migrating). This could be something as simple as getting started pages for CentOS Infrastructure, Fedora Infrastructure and Release Engineering. Example: The current starting point for Fedora Infra https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure is slightly outdated and needs an update. A potential location for this new landing page is https://pagure.io/infra-docs-fpo/. Another potential solution would be an index page to all our current docs which would be a starting point when trying to locate any information related to our infrastructure. I would like to open this up for suggestions as to what should be updated. We have identified a few items (read below) as a starting point and more ideas are welcome: * "Getting started" pages for Fedora, Centos & Releng * Indexing/referencing/updating docs from the following locations https://fedora-infra-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/howtos/tree/master https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure https://pagure.io/infra-docs-fpo/tree/master Obviously this is a task much larger than what could be achieved in a single hackfest but a good start is half the battle.

CPE Year in Review: Nest Q&A
by Leigh Griffin 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Hey everyone, At Nest with Fedora the CPE team will be presenting a Year in Review. As part of that we want to hold a Community Q&A and this is a general call for any questions that you might like to have answered by the CPE Leadership team in that call? We can curate the top questions (with thanks to Ben Cotton who is volunteering his help here) and will follow up on any questions we can't fit in timewise in the call with a Community Blog. Looking forward to seeing you all virtually at Nest!
