Xena RDO Release Announcement
by Amy Marrich
If you're having trouble with the formatting, this release announcement is
available online at https://blogs.rdoproject.org/2021/10/rdo-xena-released/
----
*RDO Xena Released*
The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of
the RDO build for OpenStack Xena for RPM-based distributions, CentOS
Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building
private, public, and hybrid clouds. Xena is the 24th release from the
OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1,000 contributors
from around the world.
The release is already available on the CentOS mirror network at
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/cloud/x86_64/openstack-xena/.
The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and
maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS
Stream and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG. The
Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience
for CentOS users looking to build and maintain their own on-premise,
public or hybrid clouds.
All work on RDO and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack
Platform, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream
first.
PLEASE NOTE: RDO Xena provides packages for CentOS Stream 8 only.
Please use the Victoria release for CentOS Linux 8 which will reach
End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021
(https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/).
*Interesting things in the Xena release include:*
- The python-oslo-limit package has been added to RDO. This is the limit
enforcement library which assists with quota calculation. Its aim is to
provide support for quota enforcement across all OpenStack services.
- The glance-tempest-plugin package has been added to RDO. This package
provides a set of functional tests to validate Glance using the Tempest
framework.
- TripleO has been moved to an independend release model (see section
TripleO in the RDO Xena release)
The highlights of the broader upstream OpenStack project may be read
via https://releases.openstack.org/xena/highlights.html
*TripleO in the RDO Xena release:*
- In the Xena development cycle, TripleO has moved to an Independent
release model(
https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/tripleo-specs/specs/xena/tripleo-in...
) and will only maintain branches for selected OpenStack releases. In the
case of Xena, TripleO will not support the Xena release. For TripleO users
in RDO, this means that:
- RDO Xena will include packages for TripleO tested at OpenStack Xena GA
time.
- Those packages will not be updated during the entire Xena maintenance
cycle.
- RDO will not be able to included patches required to fix bugs in
TripleO on RDO Xena.
- The lifecycle for the non-TripleO packages will follow the code merged
and tested in upstream stable/xena branches.
- There will not be any tripleoxena container images built/pushed, so
interested users will have to do their own container builds when deploying
xena.

*The Next Release Cycle*
At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next
release i.e Yoga.
*Get Started*
To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware,
try an All-In-One Packstack installation. You can run RDO on a single
node to get a feel for how it works.
Finally, for those that don’t have any hardware or physical resources,
there’s the OpenStack Global Passport Program. This is a collaborative
effort between OpenStack public cloud providers to let you experience
the freedom, performance and interoperability of open source
infrastructure. You can quickly and easily gain access to OpenStack
infrastructure via trial programs from participating OpenStack public
cloud providers around the world.
*Get Help*
The RDO Project has our users(a)lists.rdoproject.org for RDO-specific
users and operators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend
joining the dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org mailing list. Remember to post a
brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailing
lists archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org. You
can also find extensive documentation on RDOproject.org.
The #rdo channel on OFTC IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help.
We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS devel mailing list
and the CentOS and TripleO IRC channels (#centos, #centos-devel in
Libera.Chat network, and #tripleo on OFTC), however we have a more
focused audience within the RDO venues.
*Get Involved*
To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, check out the
RDO contribute pages, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page, and inhale the
RDO packaging documentation.
Join us in #rdo and #tripleo on the OFTC IRC network and follow us on
Twitter @RDOCommunity. You can also find us on Facebook and YouTube.

[infra][outage] Planned migration for lists.rdoproject.org on November 1st, 1:30 AM UTC
by Javier Pena
Hi,
We are going to migrate the RDO mailing lists server
(lists.rdoproject.org) on November 1st, starting at 1:30 AM UTC. The
migration will involve downtime of the mailing lists, and is expected
to last about two hours.
The new system will run Mailman 3 and HyperKitty, giving us a nicer UI
and a better ability to see mailing list threads via a web browser.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
Javier

RDO vSocial during the PTG
by Amy Marrich
Hi Everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that RDO will be sponsoring a virtual social during
the PTG, Thursday at 17:00 during the break. Last PTG's Trivia Social was a
great success, but to do something different this time around we will be
doing a virtual Escape Room.
The room is a mixture of text and images so should be bandwidth friendly
and we'll use Meetpad for the breakout rooms. We'll be doing an
Intermediate level room
<https://trappedintheweb.com/escape-rooms/cabin-fever>and the team that
finishes first will receive prizes!
Because I need to purchase passes you will need to register in advance at:
https://eventyay.com/e/e7299da7
There is a team signup page you'll receive after registering where you can
add your name to a team of 5-8 people. While we can definitely have more
people participating in the teams then passes, the intent is to allow
everyone to actively participate.
Thanks,
Amy (spotz)
