by Samuel Ortiz 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Hey Folks, Tomorrow we have our weekly CoCo community meeting, at 2:00 PM UTC - 10 AM EDT - 10PM CST. Please not that this is 3PM CEST, not 4PM, due to daylight saving time changes that happened last weekend. We froze 0.8.0 and are about to finally release it, so we'll naturally start the meeting with that and we'll also look at 0.9.0. Next Emanuele will give a demo of a very interesting use case: Protecting AI models with CoCo. Something that will also be demo'ed next week at Kubecon. As usual, if you want to propose more topics for this weekly meeting, please reach out or add them to the meeting agenda [1]. See you all tomorrow! Cheers, Samuel.

Mailman v3 migration for Kata mailing lists 2023-09-14
by Jeremy Stanley 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

On Thursday, September 14 at 15:30 UTC, the OpenDev Collaboratory systems administrators will be migrating the lists.katacontainers.io mailing list site from the aging Mailman 2.1.29 server to a newer Mailman 3.3.8 deployment. This maintenance window is expected to last no more than one hour. The key takeaways are as follows: * There will be a brief outage for the site while DNS is updated and configuration, subscriber lists and message archives are imported, but incoming messages should correctly queue at the sender's end and arrive at the conclusion of our work * Because this is on a new server, there are new IP addresses from which list mail will be originating: 162.209.78.70 and 2001:4800:7813:516:be76:4eff:fe04:5423 * Moderation queues will not be copied to the new server, so moderators are encouraged to process any held messages prior to the migration time in order to avoid losing them * Anyone wishing to adjust their list subscriptions, or handle moderation or list configuration after the migration, needs to use the Sign Up button on the Web page to create a new account; it will be linked to your imported roles as soon as you confirm by following a URL from an E-mail message the server sends you, and is global for all sites on the server so you only need to do this once * The software providing Web front-ends for list management and archive browsing is entirely new in Mailman v3 and therefore has a much different appearance, though we've added appropriate redirects and frozen copies of old archives in order to accommodate existing hyperlinks If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to follow up on the service-discuss mailing list or find us in the #opendev channel on the OFTC IRC network. -- Jeremy Stanley
