Congratulations! *- Rico Lin is now the Vice-chair of the TC.* - As mentioned in [1], *we will have two `Meet the project leaders` events* during the Shanghai summit. It will be nice if OpenStack PTLs, SIG Chairs, TC members, core reviewers, UC members, interested in join. You can signup in [2] to let others know you're coming. And if you think you might be part of this or you would like to meet any of them. Yes! you should come! -* We're open for goal idea*, so add it in [3] if you have any. We also looking for V cycle goal as well. And here's some backlog [4] if you're interested to be a champion of it. - At this point you should already know, *the newest OpenStack User Survey results are already out *[8]. So analysis it and make decisions accordingly (assume those questions are essential for team dicisions). - *The Shanghai PTG schedule is finalized*. Please check [7] for more detail on each forum. We hope we can have users, operators, and developers all together to collaborate and make more successful and valuable outcome from each forum. So please join! - Big thanks to our release team, *Train final releases for cycle-with-rc projects is right around the corner* [9]. - Our official meeting happened on October 10, as announced on the ML. We decided the following: - As one of meeting actions, a ML `[tc] Status update on naming our next releases` [6] is out (Thanks to Thierry). If you would like to give your review/feedback before proposals (mentioned in that mail) gets a majority of TC votes, now is the time. As always your review and feedback matter. - Summit and PTG are near, currently, Summit presentations and Forum sessions [7] are released. At this point, teams (which plan to join PTG) should start planning for their PTG topics and formats. So please help with teams to be prepared.

[oslo] New courtesy ping list for Ussuri
by Ben Nemec 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

As we discussed at the beginning of the cycle, I'll be clearing the current ping list in the next few weeks. This is to prevent courtesy pinging people who are no longer active on the project. If you wish to continue receiving courtesy pings at the start of the Oslo meeting please add yourself to the new list on the agenda template [0]. Note that the new list is above the template, called "Courtesy ping list for Ussuri". If you add yourself again to the end of the existing list I'll assume you want to be left on though. :-) Thanks. -Ben 0: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Oslo#Agenda_Template

[watcher] Thesis on improving Watcher and collaborating with OpenStack community
by info＠dantalion.nl 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

Hello everyone, I am a Dutch student at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) and have recently finished my thesis. My thesis was written on improvements that were made to OpenStack Watcher between February and Juli of 2019. Specifically, many of these improvements were written to aid CERN in deploying Watcher. In addition, the thesis describes methods of collaboration and engaging in communities as well as evaluating strengths and weaknesses of communties. Since the thesis primarily resolves around OpenStack I would like to share it with the community as well. Please find the thesis attached to this email. Any feedback, remarks, future advice or other responses are appreciated. Kind regards, Corne Lukken (Dantali0n)

[nova][all] Roadmap for dropping Python 2 support
by Stephen Finucane 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

The time has come. Train is almost out the door and we're already well into Ussuri planning and work. We agreed some time ago that this cycle was the right one to drop support for Python 2.7 [1] and to that effect I've proposed a patch to do just this in nova [2]. However, I have noticed a large number of the third party CIs are failing on this patch. This is because they are still testing with Python 2 and the patch marks nova as only supporting Python 3. As you can see in that patch, the effort to switch things over is not that significant, and I'd ask that any owners of third party CIs prioritise work to switch these things over in the next few weeks leading up to the PTG so we can merge this change as soon as possible. Please reach out on IRC if you have any concerns or questions. Cheers, Stephen [1] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20180529-python2-deprecatio… [2] https://review.opendev.org/#/c/687954/
