Why not, I'd like to try, at least with the call for volunteers. Just to have an idea, how much time roughly is required? I'd have to get a couple of authorizations

If you all are willing to volunteer, and/or help find other volunteers, I will try to find folks to mentor you to get you started to keep the RPMs going. Unfortunately, I have already spoken to folks in both Alma and Rocky, a year ago and again this weekend at a conference, to see if they could assist and they do not have the resources.

There was previously a small team of 2-3 engineers working on RDO but as mentioned in the release announcement email they moved on to other positions.

    Thank you,

    is it possible to try again to search for volunteers before
    abandoning definitively the RPM packages? Less diversity is a loss
    for everyone, and maybe people did not fully realize the situation
    (me including, didn't read the announcement email as I'm still
    running Caracal 😅). Cross-posting with other mailing
    lists/IRC/ops meetings could be useful, and if the alternative is
    RPM discontinuation, more people might be interested.

    If I can ask, how many people would (ideally) be necessary/how
    many RPMs are around?

    Francesco, Massimo, Jose,

    We would love help from the other communities to continue
    creating the RPMS. We put a call out for volunteers over a year
    ago[0]. and while folks replied that they wanted to help or
    attended a meeting no one actually started helping. As a result,
    we added an important note to the bottom of the Epoxy release
    announcement[1] explaining that internal developers had moved on
    and we again said we needed help and to reach out if interested.

    I'll also send this to the OpenStack list but respecting Jeremy's
    decoupling of lists.

        Hi all,

        given that RDO will soon stop releasing RPMs of OpenStack, it
        has been
        suggested on IRC etc that AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux
        communities might be
        interested in building the RPMs instead, is there already a
        discussion
        about it?

        Best regards
