From thierry at openstack.org Tue May 1 06:12:22 2018 From: thierry at openstack.org (Thierry Carrez) Date: Tue, 1 May 2018 08:12:22 +0200 Subject: [openstack-tc] Welcome new members, let's choose a chair Message-ID: <860fd5ec-cf3c-1deb-bc45-404d3e6c044c@openstack.org> Hi! Congratulations to the new and returning members. The first two steps are: 1/ Approve the new roster[1] [1] https://review.openstack.org/565432 You should all be able to use the RollCall+1 vote, which is how we vote on proposed changes. 2/ Choose a new chair for the upcoming 6-month session As announced in [2], to be consistent with our goals to grow new leaders, I decided to rotate out of the chair role for the upcoming 6-month session. [2] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-April/129278.html The chair is responsible for making sure the TC charter rules[3] are followed, and for communicating the decisions taken by the TC to the Board of Directors and the OpenStack community at large. [3] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html Candidates for the chair position should propose a patch on top of https://review.openstack.org/565432 adding " {chair}" at the end of the line for their names in the reference/members file in the openstack/governance repository. I'll miss the office hour today (and maybe miss the one on Thursday as well as I'm traveling) but I'll make sure to catch up with y'all on the #openstack-tc channel. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) From doug at doughellmann.com Thu May 3 18:17:07 2018 From: doug at doughellmann.com (Doug Hellmann) Date: Thu, 03 May 2018 14:17:07 -0400 Subject: [openstack-tc] Welcome new TC Members Message-ID: <1525371205-sup-5521@lrrr.local> Hello, team, I am excited to welcome all of you to the start of this 6-month session of the OpenStack Technical Committee, running May through November. I thought it would be a good idea to review a few policies and resources as we start the session. * Governance documentation We manage our official documentation for the TC using the openstack/governance repository and publish the content to https://governance.openstack.org/tc. Please familiarize yourself with the content, if you haven't already. In particular, please read the TC charter (https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html), which describes the committee's operating and voting rules. * Reviews and Votes You should all have your Gerrit rights set up. Please let me know if you do not have permission to cast RollCall votes on changes in openstack/governance. You may find this dashboard link useful for organizing your reviews: http://bit.ly/os-tc-dashboard Proposals that require a formal vote of the entire committee are marked with the "formal-vote" topic so that you can more easily find them all on Gerrit regardless of whether you use the dashboard. * Approving Governance Changes I intend to start out following Thierry's process for approving changes, so I will quote his description from the message kicking off the last session: The default approval rules are described in the charter. To be approved, a vote needs to have (when the vote "closes") more +1s than -1s, and at least 5 +1s. In practice (in order to avoid having to signal vote closing) changes are approved when they hit majority (7 +1s) after a 3-day grace period to allow for last-minute objections that may swing votes. For some rare cases of tight votes, a "final call for votes" will be emitted when discussion is exhausted, and the default rule will approve. Some of the changes we see do not require a formal vote, and we want to process those as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our house rules (https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/house-rules.html) describe exceptions to the formal voting rule for several common types of changes. * TC Tracker and status updates During the previous session we started tracking the initiatives we have in progress or on our backlog using storyboard. Please keep an eye on the governance project there (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/923). I will continue to use the TC Tracker wiki page (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Technical_Committee_Tracker) to report the status of the formal-vote items. You may want to "watch" that page to receive updates. I will also continue to send the weekly update emails Thierry started when we dropped our regular meetings. I'm going to assume you all read those emails, and use them for other sorts of reminders and notices in addition to it being a status report for the TC. * IRC channel and office hours We switched from one weekly IRC meeting to several "office hours" scheduled throughout the week in time slots with a goal of making it easier for geographically (and temporally) diverse community members to participate. One of our first discussions should be about how well that is working, and whether the time slots selected need to be adjusted. The current schedule is: * 09:00 UTC on Tuesdays * 01:00 UTC on Wednesdays * 15:00 UTC on Thursdays Please join #openstack-tc on freenode, especially during the office hours slots that are convenient for you. You may also want to set up a notification for the string "tc-members". * TC Mailing-list We use the openstack-tc mailing list (this one) for administrative communications to all TC members, such as this message. Please make sure you are subscribed. The list is public and archived, but posts by people who are not on the TC are moderated. The TC list is not meant for technical or governance change discussion; those threads should be sent to the openstack-dev ML, using the [tc] prefix. * Leadership Meeting in Vancouver There will be a Board+TC+UC+Staff meeting in Vancouver on Sunday, May 20, from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM. See https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/20May2018BoardMeeting for details. Participation is voluntary but encouraged. Thank you all for volunteering to serve on the TC this session!
