Hey everyone,

I am trying to get a handle on the number of projects that we are actively working on for any given day of the week. Could I ask everybody to reply here with some information. At a minimum if you could share with me:


I'm not a Red Hatter, but it's probably useful for other people to know what I'm doing...

 
- Project you are actively working regularly on


The main thing I'm working on is porting infrastructure software to Python 3 and/or DNF, or pushing forward other efforts to do so.

I also develop/maintain several projects:
 
- Link to the Landing Page / Tracker / Source / Docs / anything relevant really that might help me get a handle on the project


I don't have a specific "page" about the porting stuff, but I'm currently tracking and reviewing the following efforts:
- Got a roadmap link? Or backlog link?


Sorry, most of my stuff is ad-hoc, given that I'm doing all of this in my free time. Help would be appreciated, though. 😊

If can get to it, I'm planning on working a bit on the following efforts:
  • Porting FedoraReview to Python 3
  • Porting Spacewalk to DNF and Python 3
  • Porting Cobbler to DNF and Python 3 
- Any upcoming release plans that you are aware of / have committed to?


In no particular order:
  • Fedora 30 release
  • Mageia 7 release
  • openSUSE Leap 15.1 release
  • RHEL 8 release
 
- Anything else you think is worth sharing by all means include it


If I can manage to squeeze it in somehow, I want to try to address the issue of module repository metadata being YAML instead of XML. This is a major problem for third-party consumers of RPM repodata when trying to parse the various extensions of rpm-md repodata.

The GitHub issue for this: https://github.com/fedora-modularity/libmodulemd/issues/101

Without fixing this, I'm basically stuck in terms of being able to support some way of parsing modules properly, if we're going to be stuck with this approach for modularity.
 
I want to try and get a picture of the landscape and to take all of that into account when we start looking at the upcoming priorities for the Red Hat team. I want to try paint a bigger picture of our current responsibilities and commitments to help us inform what our future commitments look like.

I intend to transpose this *somewhere* in due course, the Wiki might be a good starting point but for now I'm happy to take the details within this thread and I can follow up with another conversation as the information flows in.

I don't know how much bigger you want to go here... And I don't know if there's much care by anyone about the stuff I'm looking at now...
