# CPE Weekly: 2020-04-14

Hi All,

Apologies for the delayed weekly mail, I enjoyed a lovely four-day
weekend with my family over Easter which was important and didn't get
around to sending this email.

The upside is you get two emails from me this week instead

Background:

IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS.Check out our teams

options and weight them against more refined requirements to make sure
we reach the best possible outcome
* We are still engaging with Fedora Council
https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/292

* And we are looking at ways to have open conversations/Q&A sessions
in public forums too as we move through this journey.
