Reboot newsletter Need more delegation to the community “Larger community” not feeling able to get involved because all the tasks are taken Things in core infra Can people be part of rebuilding RHEL release? What blocks on internal side?

Some tasks owned by one or two people Part of our mission is to bring on younger people Promotion around releases Release checklist to start in advance of a release What we are talking about, where we’re sending the message, who did cool stuff to celebrate, make sure press knows it’s coming, etc. … CentOS is more reactive to RHEL But there is a window where we can build that message Johnny notes: Reactive, we don’t know what’s in it until after the RHEL release source gets to us. Board meetings Folks see -- Dark cabal that controls everything Want to see meetings, agenda SIG maybe attend? Contributes to the notion that RHT runs everything when the decision process is not transparent. GDPR Paul & Jim working together to be POC for RHT on Fedora & CentOS Not all is clear with RHT yet We need to have an idea of what to do for forums, etc. Difference between contributions & personal postings Argument for using a single auth ACO(?) Usage of CentOS Entities need to either change how they refer to their rebuild or they need to not make a rebuild or they need to make the rebuild via the SIG process
