<div>Normally I reserve the begging for IRC, but since the other cores aren't always on, I'm taking the shotgun approach. If you aren't a core on taskflow, then you can safely skip the rest of this email.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have a number of open reviews with a single +2 that need another core reviewer to sign off. Included in that is a blocker for the next release:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>That was a bug introduced since the last release with trapping exception arguments from tasks that will affect anyone running the worker-based engine. The case I ran into was in requests where it did something akin to:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> raise RetryException(ConnectionError())</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That inner exception could not be converted to JSON so it threw an exception and aborted the job.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, these are important changes (IMO):</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Make the worker stop processing queued tasks when it stops:</div>
<div><a href="https://review.openstack.org/272862">https://review.openstack.org/272862</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Similarly for the conductor:</div>
<div><a href="https://review.openstack.org/270319">https://review.openstack.org/270319</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Allow revert methods to have different method signatures from execute and just work:</div>
<div><a href="https://review.openstack.org/270853">https://review.openstack.org/270853</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><u>(</u>depends on <a href="https://review.openstack.org/267131">https://review.openstack.org/267131</a> )</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Don't revert tasks that were never executed (I'm simplifying):</div>
<div><a href="https://review.openstack.org/272862">https://review.openstack.org/273731</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And more. I'm just highlighting the ones that most affect me personally, but in general, the review queue is really backlogged. Any help is appreciated. Bring it!</div>
