Re: [Pulp-dev] [Pulp-list] Github Discussions

[David Davis]

I was rather surprised but Discourse did approve us for a free plan. The
instance has been set up at https://pulp.discourse.group/. Feel free to try
it out and experiment with it.

However, the main limitation I see is the 50k pageviews per month limit.
For reference, community.theforeman.org gets about 160-220k pageviews per
month. So I think this would end up being a problem. I also checked with
OSCI though and they apparently have experience with setting up Discourse
instances for other open source communities. So I think they might be
willing to set up a Discourse instance for us. I'm going to follow up and
confirm.

If we go this route, then we can also add the calendar plugin which would
give us a public calendar like foreman has:

https://community.theforeman.org/c/events/13/l/calendar

I'm imagining we can use this to list events that are open to the public
like triage/open floor and perhaps plugin team meetings.

The more I use Discourse, the more I feel like it ticks all the boxes from
granular notifications (weekly digests, ability to follow/unfollow
categories, etc) to a mailing list mode users can enable to SSO integration
with services like Github.

[Pulp-dev] Help us test the new tasking system please

[Brian Bouterse]

If you use the latest commit from pulp_installer which has this PR
 merged, you'll see the
line below in your `example.dev-config.yml`. Please add this to your
`local.dev-config.yml`, and re-vagrant up.

This enables the new-style tasking system in dev environments and we want
as many folks to test this as possible.

Thanks!
