Community News Community Meetings

Every Tuesday at 13:30 UTC, we have a weekly *TripleO CI community meeting*
on https://meet.google.com/bqx-xwht-wky with the agenda on
https://hackmd.io/IhMCTNMBSF6xtqiEd9Z0Kw. The TripleO CI meeting focuses on
a group of people focusing on Continuous Integration tooling and system who
would like to provide a comprehensive testing framework that is easily
reproducible for TripleO contributors. This framework should also be
consumable by other CI systems (OPNFV, RDO, vendor CI, etc.), so that
TripleO can be tested the same way everywhere. This is NOT a place for
TripleO usage questions, rather, check out the next meeting listed just
below.

Every Tuesday at 14:00 UTC, immediately following the TripleO CI meeting is
the weekly *TripleO Community meeting* on the #TripleO channel on Freenode
IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a public etherpad
<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tripleo-meeting-items>. This is for
addressing anything to do with TripleO, including usage, feature requests,
and bug reports.

Every Wednesday at 14:00 UTC, we have a weekly *RDO community meeting* on
the #RDO channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted
each week in a public etherpad
<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/RDO-Meeting> and the minutes from the
meeting are posted on the RDO website
<https://www.rdoproject.org/community/community-meeting/>. If there's
something you'd like to see happen in RDO - a package that is missing, a
tool that you'd like to see included, or a change in how things are
governed - this is the best time and place to help make that happen.

Every Thursday at 15:00 UTC, there is a weekly *CentOS Cloud SIG meeting*
on the #centos-devel channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting
is posted each week in a public etherpad
<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/centos-cloud-sig> and the minutes from
the meeting are posted on the RDO website
<https://www.rdoproject.org/contribute/cloud-sig-meeting/>. This meeting
makes sense for people that are involved in packaging OpenStack for CentOS
and for people that are packaging OTHER cloud infra things (OpenNebula,
CloudStack, Euca, etc) for CentOS. “Alone we can do so little; together we
can do so much.” - Helen Keller
OpenStack News Spotlight On Certified OpenStack Administrator (COA)

The updated OpenStack Certified OpenStack Administrator (COA)
<https://www.openstack.org/coa/> exam became available in October 2019, and
we have seen a resurgence in interest by both the global community and our
training partners. Thousands of Stackers have demonstrated their skills and
proven their expertise, helping organizations identify top talent in the
industry. The COA exam remains a critical and respected certification for
anyone working on OpenStack.

described workaround to avoid any issue.

Victoria Common Community Goals

Every cycle, our community sets common goals
<https://governance.openstack.org/tc/goals/index.html> for the next
OpenStack release. Ghanshyam Mann just started the process
<http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-February/012396.html>
for the Victoria development cycle, which will start after Ussuri is
released in May. We are interested in goals that have user-visible impact
and make OpenStack easier to operate. If you are interested in proposing a
goal, please write down your idea on the Victoria goals etherpad
<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/YVR-v-series-goals>!
