    OpenStack Wallaby released
    The OpenStack cloud-infrastructure project has made its 23rd release, Wallaby. "The Wallaby release strengthens open infrastructure for cloud native applications with enhanced security and integration with other open source technologies. More than 17,000 code changes authored by over 800 contributors from 140 different organizations and 45 countries were merged into the release.

    In addition to delivering a wide range of improvements to the stable and reliable OpenStack core and its highly flexible project integration capabilities, Wallaby delivers security enhancements including fallback permissions and RBAC improvements in Ironic [bare-metal provisioning service], Glance [image service] and Manila [shared filesystems], and the community focused this cycle on migrating the RBAC policy format from JSON to YAML. Additionally, the Ironic project has extended functionality for UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), including secure erase for NVME.    "

    [$] Enabling debuginfod for Fedora by default
    In early April, Fedora program manager Ben Cotton posted
    a proposal to use the distribution's
    debuginfod
    servers by default in Fedora 35. This feature would help developers
    who are trying to debug or trace their programs using various tools, but who are
    lacking the source code and debugging symbols needed. The servers
    can provide that data directly to the tools as needed, but there are some
    security and privacy concerns to work through before turning the feature on
    by default.
