master mirror slow sync
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings.
As some of you may know, there's been reports of slow sync times for
content from the master mirrors last week.
(see: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/9392 )
This was caused by many routes prefering one of our upstream connections
and saturating it. We are working on increasing BW and rebalancing
routes, but these might take a while to fully take effect.
In the mean time, since Fedora 33 is due out tuesday:
* I have disabled rsync on dl01/02/03. These are our 'non tier1' rsync
servers. Likely we will enable them again tomorrow night to allow
additional mirrors to sync. Note however that if you are not a tier1
mirror, you should sync from one of those:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring/Tiering#Tier_1_Mi...
* Our two mirrors located in other datacenters:
download-ib01.fedoraproject.org
and
download-cc-rdu01.fedoraproject.org
may provide faster speeds than the dl-tier01.fedoraproject.org mirrors
right now depending on your location/routing, so you may want to at
least temporarily sync against them.
* Mirrors are strongly advised to use the https://pagure.io/quick-fedora-mirror/
script to sync if it all possible. This saves you and us lots of I/O and
just syncs the content you need.
Please do check your mirrors and make sure they are syncing up the
Fedora 33 content correctly before tuesdays release.
Thanks!

[2020-10-25] Møte (meetbot.fp.o) developer meeting notes and recording
by Justin W. Flory
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hi all,
Today, the Fedora Møte team met for one-hour on a Jitsi call. We set up
development goals and began splitting up the backlog for two-week
sprints. A video recording is below:
https://youtu.be/gpLPDgYRIvA
Some highlights from our meeting:
* Five high-level goals for Møte:
1. Full support for Python 3
2. Convert simple Flask site to a full web app with FE/BE component
3. Mobile support for responsiveness (no refreshing the full D.O.M.)
4. Fully-automated deployment for new updates
5. Continuous integration testing for developers
Some of these things are partially done already, but need additional
follow-up (e.g. Py3 support, CI testing pipeline).
We are using a GitHub Project Board on github.com/fedora-infra to track
and measure our sprints:
https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/8?fullscreen=true
Interested in joining the team? Find us in #fedora-mote on Freenode IRC
or join us on Element/Matrix:

There is now a blog post out on the Fedora community blog on the AMA,
you can read it here
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/gitlab-ama-follow-up/
Im going to be sending one mail per week to the CentOS and Fedora
devel lists on Fridays, dedicated to one topic.
The first topic will be Permission and Access in GitLab. I will pull
the questions and answers from the hackmd doc into an email body to
try to facilitate dedicated discussion around this topic. I would like
to just set expectations now that I don't consider myself to be
technical enough to weigh in on the discussion, but I am looking
forward to reading and learning from the conversation.
