This is a summary of the work done by the CPE Team. Each quarter CPE Team together with CentOS and Fedora community representatives chooses the initiatives that will be 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. Some of the sub-teams are continuous efforts in the team and some are created only for the initiative project.

This update is made from infographics and detailed updates. If you want to just see what’s new, check the infographics. If you want more details continue reading.

Infra & Releng

About

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.

FMN Replacement

About

FMN is a project that allows people in our community to get notified when messages that interest them fire on the message-bus, making the message-bus more useful to people that are not directly developing or troubleshooting applications running in our infra.

The current solution has plenty of tech debt and this initiative will rewrite it from scratch addressing all the issues.

Status: In Progress

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.
