Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the two week gap since my last report, we had a busy time in
the CPE team with the new fedora accounts deployment, our quarterly
planning cycle started for Q2 and Ireland had a bank holiday mid week
which *seemed* like a great idea at the time. Until no-one knew what
day it was for about a week!

So here I am, right at the end of Q1 with the CPE teams final weekly
report for January, February and March... two days early

If you would like to see this report and toggle to the section you are

Initiative FYI Links

CPE had our quarterly planning call last Thursday 26th March to
prioritize our project work going into Q2 (quarter 2, which is April,
May & June).
Our initiative repo quarterly boards have been updated

and our repo can be accessed here: https://pagure.io/cpe/initiatives-proposal
Our 2021 Quarterly Planning timetable can also be viewed here if you

And finally, details on initiative requesting/how to work with us on
new projects here:

Going into Q2, the CPE team will work on rpmautospec
https://pagure.io/cpe/initiatives-proposal/issue/11 and aim to deliver
this project within the months of April, May & June. We are starting
this project on Monday 12th April and will keep you posted on where
the team will track work and what IRC channel they will use for comms.

You can also expect a Q1 blog post from us in the next week or two
highlighting the work that the team delivered over the last quarter
too.

not go unnoticed and unappreciated and we could not have done this

Team Info

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/

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 weekend!

Aoife
