OpenStack Priorities
====================

Python 3.5 compatibility (Nisha, Ankit)
---------------------------------------
- Topic: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:goal-python35+NOT+project:openstack/governance+NOT+project:openstack/releases
    - this include all projects, not only ironic
    - please tag all reviews with topic "goal-python35"
other patches for experimental gates are not merging as core reviewers are asking to add the python3 builder in running gates instead of duplicating them in project-config project. https://review.openstack.org/462487,
https://review.openstack.org/462695, https://review.openstack.org/462701 and https://review.openstack.org/462706
- Raised https://review.openstack.org/495766 for testing ironic-inspector without swift functionality - planning to raise the same under ironic-inspector under zuulv3.
- Raised https://review.openstack.org/#/c/515036/ in ironic-inspector MERGED
- TODO submit the python3 job for IPA
- for ironic and ironic-inspector job enabled by disabling swift as swift is still lacking py3.5 support.
- anupn to update the python3 job to build tinyipa with python3
- we need to make the ironic job voting eventually. but we need to check that nova, glance and neutron already have voting python 3 jobs, otherwise they may break us.

Deploying with Apache and WSGI in CI (vsaienk0)
-----------------------------------------------
- ironic is mostly finished
    - (pas-ha) needs to be rewritten for uWSGI, patches on review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507011/
    - do we have install-guide bits on how to do it?
- inspector is TODO and depends on https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1525218
    - may be delayed to after Queens, as the HA work seems to take a different direction

Split away the tempest plugin (jlvillal)
----------------------------------------
- Current (4-Dec-2017) (jlvillal): Goal will be to do it the week of 11-Dec-2017 (jlvillal is too busy this week)
- Plan is:
    - 1. this week - fix the CI
    - 2. Mon (11-Dec-2017) dtantsur's morning - freeze the tempest plugin,
    - 3. Mon - jlvillal's morning - do import in github
    - 4. Tue - dtantsur's morning - double-check/fix inspector import,
    - 5. Tue - jlvillal's morning - pull the trigger
    - 6. Wed - dtantsur's morning - fix THE WORLD
- jlvillal talked to infra and they suggested we do a batch upload as there are about 70 patches to merge in.
