          - The majority of the mirroring is working now after manually updating the key.
          - The correct / longer term solution is to setup our own zuul configuration project for StarlingX and not piggy-back on openstack

              - Raised in the build project team to determine if there are resources to do this work

          - Action: Greg to review the requirements for github mirroring to confirm if it's required for all repos or just a subset to meet k8s conformance requirements.

Open Requests for Help
- Issue w/ pxebooting a second node on StarlingX
     - Question raised on the community call (Apr 26) by Kevin

     - Requested that Kevin open an LP to the doc team and/or send an email to the mailing list w/ more details to the mailing list
     - Status: Open / No email sent to the mailing list yet. Unsure if LP was opened.
