  2. This is a summary of the work done on initiatives by the Community Platform Engineering (CPE) Team. Every quarter, the CPE team works together with CentOS Project and Fedora Project community leaders and representatives to choose projects that will be being worked upon in that quarter. The CPE team is then split into multiple smaller sub-teams that will work on the chosen initiatives and day-to-day work that needs to be done. Some of the sub-teams are dedicated to the continuous efforts in the team whilst some are created only for the initiative purposes.

    About

    The Community Platform Engineering Team is a Red Hat team that is working exclusively on community projects. Its members are part of Fedora Infrastructure, Fedora Release Engineering and CentOS Infrastructure teams. This team works on initiatives, which are projects with larger scope related to community work that needs to be done. It also investigates possible initiatives  with the ARC (The Advance Reconnaissance Crew), which is formed from a subset of the Infrastructure & Release Engineering sub-team members based on the initiative that is being investigated.

    Initiatives

    PDC Retirement

    PDC is the Product Definition Center, running at: https://pdc.fedoraproject.org/.

    However, this application which was developed internally, is no longer maintained. This codebase has been “orphaned” for a few years now and we need to find a solution for it.

    We are reviewing and having a critical look on what we store in there, see what is really needed and then find a solution for its replacement.

    Status: In Progress

    Matrix Native Zodbot

    With ongoing stability issues with the Matrix <-> IRC bridge and many contributors switching over to Matrix, Zodbot has become increasingly unreliable. The bridge is currently shut off completely. This initiative aims to provide a future-proof solution and allow us to conduct meetings without wasting time troubleshooting the Matrix <-> IRC bridge and Zodbot.

    Documentation

    FMN Replacement

    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 previous solution had plenty of tech debt which caused lag times between an event happening and the subscriber to be notified, so this initiative rewrote the service from scratch and is now live! Users are recommended to migrate their rules to the new service and notifications can also now be configured to email, IRC and Matrix.

    DNF-Countme Update

    DNF Mirrors Countme scripts are used to gain statistics data about the downloads of Fedora. Purpose of this initiative is to optimize the current solution by adding more comprehensive testing, removing unnecessary code and reducing storage consumption of the data.

    ARC Investigations

    Investigate moving registry.fp.o to quay.io

    Traditionally, registry.fedoraproject.org was needed as quay.io did not support multiarch which it now does. The purpose of this ticket is to carry out some investigation work to confirm all the above is true as well as finding any other potential blockers to the move.

    Status: Done

    Documentation

    Spam fighting

    We had plenty of spam on pagure.io this year. To fight it more effectively, the ARC team tried a few different approaches to recognize and delete spam. It’s now much easier to delete the spam user with all the spam it created.

    Status: Done

    ARC investigation/planning for FCAS

    In order to have a quantitative understanding of how the contributor activity has changed over the years and to provide the foundational support to the Fedora Project strategy 2028’s guiding star about doubling the number of active contributors every week, it is important to have a service that tracks their statistics. This measurement would help make the strategy goal meaningful as well as assist the Fedora Council and the related bodies understand how far they have progressed into making this happen and identify the underlying particular problems that act as a barrier in realizing this objective.

    Badges backend for new Service

    Fedora Badges is a service that grants virtual accolades for milestones and completing tasks within the Fedora Project community. For example, a community member may collect badges for testing package updates on Bodhi when they test 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 updates.

    Pagure to GitLab importer

    With Fedora and CentOS now having an official namespace on GitLab, multiple projects want to migrate their repositories from Pagure to GitLab. This initiative is aimed to provide an easy way to migrate those projects.

    Status: Done

    Documentation

    DNF-countme

    The purpose of this work was about investigating the current solution and it’s bottlenecks to identify what needs to be done to solve the following problems:

    • Storage bottleneck when creating the intermediate database file
    • Operations efficiency for the infrastructure team

    Documentation

    Dist-Git decoupling & ecosystem mapping

    The objective of the potential initiative is to move repository contents (including but not limited to source codes, Packit configurations, RPM specfiles) from Pagure Dist-Git to another platform and confirm that the associated tooling and services (including but not limited to FMN, Datanommer, COPR, Toddlers, FMN, CI, Monitor-Gating, Packit, Bodhi, Fedpkg) work well with the newer platform. The investigation aims to be as agnostic as it can be regarding the destination platform to help ideate a general solution for the compatibility of the associated tooling and services.

  3. Welcome to our #yearInReview2023

    In the second half of 2023 it's fair to say we absolutely smashed the latest unfortunate health and spoon related musical hiatus.

    We've started to wrangle away our dependence on #bandcamp as a respository and deployed our own #faircamp.

    music.control.org

    This holds up: mas.to/deck/@controlfreak/1113

    And further to that, we've taken back ownership of the classic e-mail list as opposed to also bandcamping that component.

  5. Same #NewYearsResolution for 2024 as the last two years, which I failed to meet for 2023: read more books. In fairness, I also read the equivalent of 350 pages of the Washington Post alone, according to its yearly wrap, which is only one of half a dozen newspapers and a couple dozen other periodicals I read regularly... #yearinreview2023 #goodreads

  7. In closing for y'all (and for now) in an Extreme Bernie Sanders voice: I am once again thanking you for following me.

    Thanks to all of you who follow me here on Masto. I don't get why, but I'm thankful for all of y'all this pas t year.

  9. 2023 was big for me on the Fediverse. I got active on Pixelfed with @[email protected]. I started a new Sharkey (originally Firefish) account @[email protected].

    I had a KBin account, but that disappeared almost as soon as I had it when NerdBin disappeared. Then again I was never much of a Reddit guy...so Fediverse Reddit was never going to be my thing.

  13. I wrote my year in review post, then got ChatGPT to check for spelling and grammar, what followed made me laugh so hard I had to use it. I did minimal editing.

    The essence is there but it doesn't sound like me.

    Er... or something like that. 😊

  16. A year in review!

    I didn't draw some months, and some months I was way more productive. So here's just 15 of the best, roughly spread out across the year! Overall, I don't know if I improved my style or anatomy or perspective; but I definitely improved my speed. A few of these I finished in a single day, and I consider them my best art yet!

  17. Best non-manga I read in 2023? Well, I only really read comics - so TMNT: The Last Ronin. It was very good.

    I'll add more to this later. But trying to just blurt out thoughts as I have them on favs of 2023.

    More to come. I think. Maybe.

  19. Favorite new movie? I mean - I watched all of one - the Super Mario Bros movie. So, I guess that...?

    Favorite New TV Series of 2023. I dunno. Genuinely - I watched Ghosts, Abbott Elementary, Why Women Kill, and a few other shows, but they weren't new in 2023. I just happened to start watching them in 2023.

  21. Favorite NEW video games of 2023? Well, I only played F-Zero 99, Cassette Beasts, and Sonic Superstars which were new in 2023. All of them were great in their own way.

    Probably go in order: F-Zero 99, Cassette Beasts, Sonic Superstars.

    Favorite game played in 2023? That's Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The surprise for me was how much I got really into sharing more ACNH content in 2023. To the point where I started a brand new Instagram account dedicated only to sharing ACNH pics, scenes, etc.

  23. As 2023 is coming to an end shortly, I'm going to go through and just randomly list off some favorites from the past year.

    High speed. Minimal thoughts.

    First - favorite new manga of 2023? Beat and Motion, Two on Ice, and Shojo Null. The first's about music; the second's about figure skaters; the last is set in a world of disposable cyborgs that are actuality sentient people with machines on them removing all sense of consciousness - with a sentient cyborg lead, a co-lead whose parent's were murdered for learning this truth, & good social commentary on cops.

  25. Every year I write a “Year in Review” post. It’s a time capsule of everything I remember - both the good and the bad.

    2023 has been a great one, and I just published my Year in Review post! It’s a photo-rich look at my favorites (movies, books, shows, meals, etc), projects I’ve worked on and trips we took.

  28. The very next day, on the 27th August I did this, a watercolour painting of an abandoned lifeboat. On Arches paper. I enjoyed painting the rusty hull.

    #art #watercolour #painting #2023art #yearinreview2023

  29. Whoosh through to the 26th August and this watercolour was painted mostly wet-in-wet using larger brushes and tons of water. I did rip it a bit getting the masking tape off but I don’t care. #art #painting #watercolour #2023art #yearinreview2023

  30. So now we will jump past the clunkers and on to this, my favourite watercolour of the year. Finished by the 12th August and featuring a weir at Snuff Mills in Bristol. I love this painting and really enjoyed painting it.

  31. So after the high point (for me) of oils on canvas and panels it was back to watercolours for this market scene in a French town.

    I think this marked the start of a dodgy painting period for me with some clunkers.

    From the 10th June.

  32. By the 7th May I had finished this, one of my favourite paintings and certainly my favourite oil painting from this year. The design on the jug nearly broke my brain, as did the crack in the plaster on the wall. This painting is small. #art #painting #oil #stilllife #2023art #yearinreview2023
