"content": "\n<p>As you probably know, CentOS Stream development is happening in the open on Gitlab.com. You can see changes happening in real time in the <a href=\"https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/\">redhat/centos-stream/rpms namespace</a>. You can check open merge request, create yours and provide feedback.</p>\n<p>Yet, due to the limitations of the Gitlab platform, we have not been able to provide an unauthenticated access to the feed of CentOS Stream events.</p>\n<p>We are now solving it by publishing all Gitlab events to the Fedora Message Bus.</p>\n<h2>How to read messages</h2>\n<p>Let's start with the interesting part first.</p>\n<p>Install the <a href=\"https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/fedora-messaging/fedora-messaging/\">fedora-messaging</a> package:</p>\n<p><code>$ sudo dnf install fedora-messaging</code></p>\n<p>Create a local copy of the configuration file:</p>\n<p><code>$ cp /etc/fedora-messaging/fedora.toml ./centos-integration-messaging.toml</code></p>\n<p>Change the <em>routing_keys</em> variable in the configuration file to subscribe to the topic <em>org.centos.sig.integration</em>:</p>\n<p><code> routing_keys = [\"org.centos.sig.integration.#\"]</code></p>\n<p>Run the client:</p>\n<p><code>$ fedora-messaging --conf ./centos-integration-messaging.toml consume</code></p>\n<p>The client will now listen to the topic on the message bus and will print all messages to the standard output.</p>\n<p>Of course you can do much more than just printing. For example, you can trigger a Jenkins job with the help of the <a href=\"https://plugins.jenkins.io/amqp-build-trigger/\">AMQP Build Trigger</a>, or you can develop your own application.</p>\n<p>Please check the <a href=\"https://fedora-messaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/\">Fedora Messaging documentation</a> for more details.</p>\n<p>By the way, events from the CentOS Stream build system are also available on the Fedora Message Bus under the topic <em>org.centos.prod.buildsys</em>.</p>\n<h2>How does it work</h2>\n<p>There is a stateless application deployed to the <a href=\"https://sig.centos.org/guide/ci/#openshift\">CentOS SIGs Openshift cluster</a>. A webhook on GitLab sends an event to the endpoint of the application, and it then translates the event into a message on the Fedora Message Bus.</p>\n<p>The sources are available in the <a href=\"https://gitlab.com/CentOS/Integration/gitlab-webhooks\">gitlab-webhooks repository</a>. And contributions are of course welcome. </p>\n<p>The service is maintained by the community under the umbrella of the CentOS Integration SIG.</p>\n<h2>What's next</h2>\n<p>We hope that the service will be useful for everyone who wants to build automation on top of the CentOS Stream.</p>\n<p>When you build such an automation - please let us know and consider joining the <a href=\"https://sig.centos.org/integration/#how-to-join\">CentOS Integration SIG</a>.</p>\n<p>We might be changing the messaging schema in the future to adopt a more strict message validation, and we would want to know your requirements.</p>\n<p>We also may expand the coverage and add events for other namespaces, such as, for example, events from CentOS SIG repositories.</p>\n",

"content": "\n<p>CentOS is excited to welcome Troy Dawson to the Board of Directors.</p>\n<p>The CentOS Board is made up of 10 members, nominated by the community and appointed by a vote of the board. Celeste Lyn Paul decided not to serve another term this year, so the board began the process of selecting a new directory. We'd like to thank Celeste for her service and insights over the last two years. We had a lot of great nominations this time, and we'd also like to thank all the candidates for their willingness to serve, as well as the entire community for being engaged in the process.</p>\n<p>Troy works on the Emerging RHEL team at Red Hat, which looks at the future of RHEL based on Fedora and CentOS, as well as the CentOS Stream team, which handles the day-to-day maintenance of CentOS Stream. He's a well-known and longtime CentOS and Fedora contributor, having been a Fedora contributor for 12 years and a CentOS contributor for 7. Before working on CentOS, he was one of the co-founders of Scientific Linux.</p>\n<p>Troy is involved in a number of projects across the CentOS ecosystem. He's actively involved with EPEL, and has been an EPEL committee chair for almost four years. He's a member of the Fedora KDE SIG, which produces the Fedora KDE Plasma edtion. He's the chair and co-founder of the Alternative Images SIG, which is currently producing live CentOS images with both GNOME and KDE, and is working on adding more images. He's a member of the ISA SIG, which tests packages built with new CPU features enabled. And he was a co-founder of the original PaaS SIG, which worked on packaging OpenShift on CentOS (work that is now done in the Cloud SIG).</p>\n<p>If you've seen Troy at a conference, you probably saw him wearing one of his Hawaiian penguin shirts. He designs and makes these shirts himself in his side business, <a href=\"https://www.casualpenguins.com/\">Casual Penguins</a>.</p>\n<p>Troy's extensive experience, community involvement, and general friendliness will be a great addition to the board, and we look forward to working more closely with him.</p>\n",

So start updating your filters if you filter on email address instead of \"subject:\"</p>\n<p>Here is the overview of the new lists names :</p>\n<p>arm-dev at centos.org => arm-dev at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos at centos.org => discuss at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-devel at centos.org => devel at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-announce at centos.org => announce at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-automotive-sig at centos.org => automotive-sig at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-{cz,de,es,fr,nl,pt-br,<a class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\" href=\"mailto:zh%7D@centos.org\">zh}@centos.org</a> => discuss-{cz,de,es,fr,nl,pt-br,<a class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\" href=\"mailto:zh%7D@lists.centos.org\">zh}@lists.centos.org</a><br>\nci-users at centos.org => ci-users at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-gsoc: => gsoc at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-mirror at centos.org => mirror at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-mirror-announce at centos.org => mirror-announce at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-newsletter at centos.org => newsletter at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-promo at centos.org => promo at lists.centos.org<br>\ncentos-virt at centos.org => virt at lists.centos.org</p>\n<p># Authentication<br>\nMailman2 had no real concept of authentication so you could just subscribe to one or more lists, and have a password associated with your email address for that/these subscription(s).<br>\nMailman3 itself is split into \"core\" and \"webui\" components, so when we'll import mailman2 lists/config into mailman3, your existing subscriptions will continue to work <b class=\"moz-txt-star\"><span class=\"moz-txt-tag\">*</span>but<span class=\"moz-txt-tag\">*</span></b> not your password.</p>\n<p>Mailman3 will be configured to support SSO, and so if you already have a FAS/ACO account (<a class=\"moz-txt-link-freetext\" href=\"https://accounts.centos.org/\">https://accounts.centos.org</a>) you'll be able to login directly into new webui and manage your settings/subscriptions <b class=\"moz-txt-star\"><span class=\"moz-txt-tag\">*</span>if<span class=\"moz-txt-tag\">*</span></b> your ACO email address of course matches the one you initially subscribed with for lists.centos.org.</p>\n<p>If that's not the case, either create an ACO/FAS account that will match and you'll be then able to \"link\" your mailman3 account with FAS and so manage your settings/subscriptions.</p>\n<p>If you don't want to, there is always the documented process : <a class=\"moz-txt-link-freetext\" href=\"https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/userguide.html#making-a-mailman-account\">https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/userguide.html#making-a-mailman-account</a></p>\n",

AutoSD has been downloaded and used by many organizations who have commented or asked for help, so we know it is getting some traction though of course we don't have exact metrics on usage.</p>\n<p class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"55\">Over the past year, we have done many things!</p>\n<ul class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"57\">\n<li class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"57\">The <a href=\"https://github.com/eclipse-bluechi/bluechi\" data-href=\"https://github.com/eclipse-bluechi/bluechi\">BlueChi project</a>, a lightweight container management system, was developed in the automotive SIG and contributed to the <a href=\"https://sdv.eclipse.org/\" data-href=\"https://sdv.eclipse.org/\">Eclipse SDV Working Group</a>.</li>\n<li class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"58\">\n<a href=\"https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/\" data-href=\"https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/\">AutoSD documentation</a> has been much improved.</li>\n<li class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"59\">A new TI-based SOC (<a href=\"https://www.ti.com/product/AM69\" data-href=\"https://www.ti.com/product/AM69\">AM69</a>) works with AutoSD.</li>\n<li class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"60\">CentOS automotive folks spoke at a number of events last year, including <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DqhKBXONJ4&ab_channel=EclipseSoftwareDefinedVehicle\" data-href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DqhKBXONJ4&ab_channel=EclipseSoftwareDefinedVehicle\">Eclipse SDV Community Days at EclipseCon</a>.</li>\n<li class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"61\">Leo Rossetti's kubernetes spec (based on podman) was merged in the <a href=\"https://gitlab.com/soafee/architecture\" data-href=\"https://gitlab.com/soafee/architecture\">SOAFEE architecture repository</a> for the 2.0 release</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"63\">In addition, there is a great deal of work in progress:</p>\n<ul class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"65\">\n<li class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"65\">Adding BlueChi support for EWAOL in the upcoming SOAFEE 2.0 draft specification.</li>\n<li class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"66\">Adding podman, quadlet and systemd in Linaro's TRS (Trusted Reference Stack)</li>\n<li class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"67\">Further documentation upgrades, including an upcoming Getting Started Guide.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"69\">Meetings are the first Wednesday of each month - please send email to <a href=\"mailto:jefro@redhat.com\" data-href=\"mailto:jefro@redhat.com\">jefro@redhat.com</a> to be included on the invite.
