Hi everyone,
Welcome to the CPE team weekly project update mail!
Background:
The Community Platform Engineering group 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.
For better communication, we will be giving weekly reports to the
CentOS and Fedora communities about the general tasks and work being
done.
For increased communication between our communities, we have created
#redhat-cpe on Freenode! Please feel free to catch us there, a mail
has landed on both the CentOS and Fedora devel lists with context
here.
Note:
This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a
google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are
aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are
working on a method to make this less problematic.
