Bugs Will Now Close Automatically When Patches Merge
====================================================
* Part of deprecating our use of Launchpad for tracking completed work, when a
  patch with "Fixes-Bug" in the commit message merges, the bug will move to
  ‘Fixed Released” instead of “Fix Committed”.
* Full thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-December/081612.html

Cleaning Up Deprecation Warnings in the Gate
============================================
* We have a lot of logs to process in our elastic search cluster, which results
  in frequently having issues with the amount of RAM available in the cluster.
* In general it would be good for projects to look at how verbose their logging
  is, and if that’s really necessary.
* Using this query [3] to show deprecation warnings on jobs running on master
  the past 7 days shows 17576707 hits.
* We need volunteers to to make changes in things like Devstack to have it
  avoid using deprecated options.
  - If you would like to help, please use the topic
    ‘stop-using-deprecated-options’ [4].

Stable Team PTL Elected
=======================
* Close to 200 voters have elected Matt Riedmann as the first stable team PTL
  [5].
* Matt will be looking into meeting times next week to begin discussions on
  transitioning from release team and work items.
* Full thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-December/081824.html

Announcing the OpenStack Health Dashboard
=========================================
* A dashboard to visualize the state of tests running in gate [6].
* Started last September, it’s still in early phases.
* Biggest limitations:
  - The datastore: using subunit2sql as the backend for all data and only
    collecting results for tempest and grenade runs in the gate and periodic
    queues.
  - No results for runs that fail before tempest starts running.
* Code [7]
* Launchpad [8]
* Work items that need to be done [9].
