Logs were sent to the mailing list after the meeting. * http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-February/002493.html The next TC meeting is scheduled for 7 March @ 1400 UTC in #openstack-tc. See http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/#Technical_Committee_Meeting for details == Ongoing Discussions == Jean-Philippe has proposed adding openSUSE to the list of supported platforms in the PTI. * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/633460/ Ed Leafe has proposed creating a Placement team * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/636416/ We have a few conversations around the "help most wanted" list. * Ivan is proposing to add Horizon to the existing list: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/633798/ * Lance is proposing to add a section about working on unified limits and quota management: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/637025/ * Thierry proposed creating a Padawan mentoring program, as part of a larger discussion around ways to replace the existing list: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/636956/ Thierry has also proposed a clarification to the technical goal setting role of the TC. * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/636948/ We are discussing whether it makes sense to use stackalytics reports when making governance decisions or providing details about team from a governance perspective. There is some question about the open nature of the tool and whether the data collection algorithms have changed recently with the updated implementation. * Linking to metrics from team pages on governance.o.o: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/636665/ * Jeremy's patch to remove the team fragility tool, which uses stackalytics data: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/636721/ Rico has proposed a patch to record the fact that the new auto-scaling SIG owns the auto-scaling-sig git repo. It isn't up to the TC to set ownership, but we record the information along with other ownership details so it can be used for building voter rolls. * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/637126/ Gorka has proposed a patch to add the cinderlib repository to the cinder team. * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/637614/ == TC member actions/focus/discussions for the coming week(s) == It's election time, so I expect most of us will be focused on the discussions associated with the campaign. == Contacting the TC == The Technical Committee uses a series of weekly "office hour" time slots for synchronous communication. We hope that by having several such times scheduled, we will have more opportunities to engage with members of the community from different timezones. Office hour times in #openstack-tc: - 09:00 UTC on Tuesdays - 01:00 UTC on Wednesdays - 15:00 UTC on Thursdays If you have something you would like the TC to discuss, you can add it to our office hour conversation starter etherpad at: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tc-office-hour-conversation-starters Many of us also run IRC bouncers which stay in #openstack-tc most of the time, so please do not feel that you need to wait for an office hour time to pose a question or offer a suggestion. You can use the string "tc-members" to alert the members to your question. You will find channel logs with past conversations at http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/ If you expect your topic to require significant discussion or to need input from members of the community other than the TC, please start a mailing list discussion on openstack-discuss at lists.openstack.org and use the subject tag "[tc]" to bring it to the attention of TC members. -- Doug
