<div dir="ltr">Hey Everyone,<br><br>John Villalovos and I have been acting as the Nova-Ironic liaisons, which mostly means dealing with bugs that have been raised against the Ironic driver in Nova. So you can understand what we’ve been doing, and how you can help us do that job better, we’re writing this email to clarify the process we’re following.<br><br>Weekly Bug Scrub: Each week (Tuesday 2300 UTC) John and Michael meet to go through the results of this query <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?field.tag=ironic&orderby=-id&start=0">https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?field.tag=ironic&orderby=-id&start=0</a> to find bugs that we don’t know about, to see what progress has been happening, and to see if there’s any direct action that needs to be taken. We record the result of this triage over here <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova-Ironic-Bugs">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova-Ironic-Bugs</a><br><br>Fix Bugs: If we are able, and have the capacity, we try and fix bugs ourselves. Where we need it, we seek help from both the Nova and/or Ironic communities. But finding people to help fix bugs in the Nova Ironic driver is probably an area we can do better at (*hint* *hint*)<br><br>Review Bugs: Once fixes are proposed, we solicit reviews for these fixes. Once we’re happy that the proposed solution isn’t completely bonkers, one of us will +1 that review, and add it to the list of Nova bugs that need review by Nova: <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/liberty-nova-priorities-tracking">https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/liberty-nova-priorities-tracking</a><br><br>Attend the Nova team meeting: One of us will attend the weekly IRC meeting to represent the Ironic team interests within Nova. Nova might want to discuss new requirements they have on drivers, or to discuss a bug that has been raised, or to find out, or to communicate, which bugs the other team feel are important to be addressed before the ever-looming next release.<br><br>Attend the Ironic team Meeting: John will attend the weekly IRC meeting to raise any issues with the broader team that we become aware of. It might be that a new bug has been raised and we need to find someone willing to take it on, or it may be that an existing bug with a proposed change is languishing due to a lack of reviews (Michael can’t do that as 2:30am local time is just a little wrong for an IRC meeting :)<br><br><br>So there it is, that's how the Ironic team are supporting the Ironic driver in Nova. If you have any questions, or just want to dive in and fix bugs raised against the driver, you’re most welcome to get in touch - on IRC I’m ‘mrda’ and John is ‘jlvillal‘ :)<br><br>Michael…<br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Michael Davies <a href="mailto:michael@the-davies.net" target="_blank">michael@the-davies.net</a><br><span style="color:rgb(80,0,80);font-size:12.8000001907349px">Rackspace Cloud Builders Australia</span><br></div></div></div>
