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However, this application which was developed internally, is no longer maintained.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.
Status: In Progress

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

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.
Status: Done

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.
Status: Done
Documentation
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
Status: Done
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.
Status: Done

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.

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!

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.

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.
-
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
-
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.

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.

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
-
Encouraged by my still life of a jug with some grapes, I stupidly tackled this vast canvas towards the end of April, making this my largest painting to date. Also oil this time on a big canvas. #art #painting #oils #2023art #yearinreview2023
-
By the 8th April I’ve suddenly gone mad on still life paintings. What made it happen was seeing a painting by someone of a jar of jam and I had to do a still life. Unfortunately I ran out of grapes because I was eating them. Oil on canvas panel. #art #painting #stilllife #oils #2023art #yearinreview2023

The 1st April was back to the woods and also looking back a bit to autumn. Also more traditional. Painted using just watercolour and the Ranson palette wet into wet to get that misty appearance. #art #painting #watercolour #2023art #yearinreview2023
-
This next one, from 27th March, is all about that sky. It was done at Crook Peak or nearby (I am disabled so getting up a hill is a miracle). Acrylic ink and acrylic on board. #art #painting #acrylic #2023art #yearinreview2023
-
Onwards to the 25th March and by now in the year I’m trying to get some more experimental stuff in. This one on the surface is a painting of a seaside scene. It does however have embedded in its surface oestrogen patches (that’s estrogen for others). This painting is full of hormones. A place of memories for me too. Note the scratches and other marks that are deliberate.
Acrylic using palette knives. #art #painting #acrylic #2023art #yearinreview2023 #transrights

We have many many more of these paintings to go so it may take a couple of days. #yearinreview2023 #2023art

Roll forward to March 22nd and we have this, also an attempt at an abstract landscape, this one of some dunes and and other structures at a beach. I know why this doesn’t work for me, it was too balanced. Remember folks don’t make paintings too symmetrical and balanced.
-
This one - again from March 15th - may take some explaining. I was trying to reach a the abstract landscape zone, but the algorithm in my head was still set to more realistic landscapes, so we ended up with this clunker. BUT, it did have some learning experiences and was fun to paint so I kept it.

A change of pace but on the 19 March I’m back with this gouache street painting of a street near me done from a photo taken at sunrise. This was a present for friend. It was a hard painting to do as well!
-
Amazingly also from February 17th - I was obviously on a roll. Another snowscape painted using the Ranson palette. This time focused on that amazing sky. Painted again using a hake brush.
-
The second painting from February 17th - this time a snow scape painted using just watercolour. Agein this has a mysterious element. A small figure seen in the hedgerow in the distance. Too small for a man. What is it? Painted using the Ranson palette of colours and also done mostly with a hake brush.
-
From the 17th February - and this was another day with two paintings - comes this warmup sketch of a path in Leigh Woods, that I include purely for the reason that I like the way I captured the moss on the tree at lower left. The other trees are so-so and one looks like it is falling over or is one of those car sales inflatables.
Sketch in sketchbook. Medium: pretty much all of them if I remember.

This one, from February 12, is a bit mystical and mysterious. A path leading into a woodland yes, and you all know I paint too many of them. But this one came out much more interesting to me, and the bit of the hedge with the orange red glow makes it even more mysterious. What’s going on in there?
