Congratulations 🎉 to everyone who participated and voted in the recently concluded @fedora#elections !
Especially to @jonathanspw who got elected for the first time to the #EPEL steering committee.
And welcome back @decathorpe to FESCo! I'll be there for the first time, and hope to "choose... wisely" quoting the knight from the third Indiana Jones movie
I'm running for the EPEL Steering Committee. If I've ever helped you with EPEL, or you've enjoyed my conference presentations about EPEL, please consider voting for me.
We're excited to hear about the community updates that will be presented at the Fedora 40 Release Party. 😬 We'll learn about the Mentored Projects initiative, the git forge investigation, EPEL 10, and Week of Diversity!
I'm back on RHEL for all my computers, I'm done messing around with weird inconsistencies and unexpected changes in updates. I love the innovation of upstream and all the wonderful madness of the bazaar, but I don't have time to drink from the fire hose these days.
I'm super grateful for all the exceptional and hard work the RHEL team at Red Hat does and the Fedora EPEL community. ❤️
@centos will be hosting an event at SCaLE called CentOS Classroom - a neat opportunity to learn more about the project from contributors. Happening Mar 14 from 2-5pm local time!
At the end there will be a packaging workshop for Fedora EPEL! Check it out if you've wanted to get into packaging but weren't sure how. @carlwgeorge's got your back. 👍
On more look back to CentOS at Flock while we look forward to CentOS Connect at FOSDEM. Troy Dawson took the stage yet again, this time with @carlwgeorge, to tell us the state of EPEL.
Take two: here's a survey about Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux that the EPEL SIG is running! If you're a user or contributor, please give us your feedback. Survey closes at the end of September. #Fedora#EPEL#Linux
The Fedora EPEL SIG is asking for feedback to improve EPEL via this survey! If you're someone who uses or works on Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux, please give it a look. Survey closes at the end of September! #Fedora#EPEL#Linux
I'm pretty damn excited for LinuxFest Northwest. The best part of conferences is getting to see friends, and it's looking like quite a few of mine will be there.
Also, today I found out that both my talk and workshop submissions were accepted. If you're attending, then come see my talk to learn about EPEL 9 (with a sneak peek of EPEL 10), or attend my workshop to learn about RPM packaging.
Several folks have told me they haven't been able to find my Red Hat Summit slides in the Content Hub. I'm not sure why this is, but if you're want them here are the PDFs.
Are you at Red Hat Summit this week? Are you interested in learning how to create RPM packages? Then come to my workshop, "Packaging software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux". If you miss the first session on Tuesday, there is a repeat session on Wednesday.
I'll also be giving a short talk on Wednesday about "The EPEL 10 plan". If you use or contribute to EPEL, you don't want to miss it.
