[tc][election] Add Rico Lin candidacy for Victoria TC role
by Rico Lin 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Dear all, It has been a great year for me to work on TC and work as TC vice-chair, and I do like to join TC election again and keep serving this community as TC member if I have the honor. In the past year, I have been working on the following tasks: * TC vice-chair: I thank for the vice-chair roles allows me to dive in deeper on TC activity. As we work on TC's daily support for TC chair. IMO, JP shows some nice example to running TC chair by standardizing routine processes. And I do feel it's great to work with him. And from what I learned, to consistent checking on actions for TCs is something we should keep on. Also ML update and host meetings. What I think we should try in advance are keep pushing TC plus UC merging task, and work on providing better decision system so we can make sure at the end of discussion, we have something put into actions and that's been decided by TCs as a group. * Meta SIG chair: It's a great opportunity to working on SIG govern, which works with coordination between devs, ops, and users. We achieved on items like pushing more new SIGs, create SIG guidelines, track SIG status, and of course general SIG govern stuff. But SIGs still needs more attention. Which is one of the goals I have to push SIG forward (And I'm happy to have others as Meta SIG chair). IMO SIG only successful when it can provide a better bridge across all roles. That's something we need to keep pushing our effort to expose SIGs. * Comparison of Official Group Structures: I also work on providing [1] so whoever join this community, can have better understanding on how we works. Over time, our structure require changes, so we can evolve and provide understandable structures for the whole time (and for old and new members). What we can keep working on is to consistently review the structure flow, to make sure everything makes sense for a community to allow consistency and evolution. Also as mentioned, to combine TC and UC, will require more review on structure to make sure teams all get benefits from the achievement we plan. * Cross culture bridge: This is something I'm reeeally proud of. To help community members reach better communication despite language, culture, and timezone barriers. I get the honor to serve a great number of community members on this task, and I'm proud of it. This also alerts me that we need more members in community to become the bridge. We have some great people to keep working on this, but we simply need more from different languages, cultures, and timezone. So community members can have a better way to reach to TCs. * community goal schedule: gmann doing really good job on keep community-wide goal forward. As we implemented our goal schedule to cover from pre-select, select, and implementation schedule. I'm planning to keep govern that process to make sure we jump in the correct routine.

[nova] FFU : When should we remove reshape support for a feature ?
by Sylvain Bauza 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hola, In Stein, I provided a new feature [1] that was checking inventories from multiple children resource providers (RP). Since in Rocky, those inventories were only on the root RP, I had to provide both : #1 : an upgrade support for RPs that were not having a parent RP (that was the case of Stein compute nodes) [2] #2 : a reshape method in the libvirt driver for moving allocations from a root RP to children RPs [3] Now, we're in the Ussuri timeframe and as I was usually doing, I removed the upgrade support (in #1) since we're 100% sure that all compute nodes are either Train or Ussuri [4] This is cool, but now the reshape code I wrote for #2 no longer works (which is normal, since the 'non-Stein' support was removed) [5] Soooooo. Can I also then remove the reshape support ? That would mean that upgrading from Rocky to Train would work, but Rocky to Ussuri wouldn't. I'm personally OK with this, but I guess other people could have concerns with. Do we have any consensus about how longer we would support a reshape ? I think honestly that a 3-releases time window is enough but I can hear some disagreements about this strawman proposal. If so, please voice. -Sylvain [1] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/vgpu-stein [2] https://review.opendev.org/#/c/636591/ [3] https://review.opendev.org/#/c/599208/ [4] https://review.opendev.org/#/c/715489/ [5] https://541e2403478ac154d5eb-056bfb946e355d1a1a86dc411a70c5ec.ssl.cf2.rackc…

[qa] Not running for PTL
by Ghanshyam Mann 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hello Everyone, I would like to announce that I am not running for QA PTL for V cycle. Its been 4 cycles for me as the QA PTL and I think it's time for a new leader to take this responsibility. It has been a great experience for me as PTL and keeping the QA program healthy and active as it was from starting. Stabilizing the testing more and adopting new tooling under QA. Apart from PTL role, I will continue my contribution to QA with the same bandwidth as it is now. There is no change in that and you can keep pining me for any issue or discussions. Also, I will be there for a smooth PTL transition. Thanks everyone for making these 2 years a great learning period for me. -gmann

[election][heat] PTL candidacy for Victoria
by Rico Lin 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hi all, I would like to announce my candidacy for Heat PTL for Victoria cycle. Over the past couple of cycles, we running Heat dynamically according to requirements. We never stop encouraging people to join us and provide consistent reviews or fixes as much as we can basic on priorities. And if those priorities not working for you, that means you must join the community to help. I believe the goals for the next cycle should be community CI stability, cross-project/community scenario tests to ensure what we deliver to users will get higher quality and container-native support to make sure we provider useable Orchestration services for container environment. I believe in new features, so we will try to encourage more features and review them as many as possible, but will not plan for team feature goals unless we can trigger more discussion and hands-on.Thank you for taking my self-nomination into consideration.

[election][kolla]
by Mark Goddard 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hi, I'd like to nominate myself to serve as the Kolla PTL for the Victoria cycle. I have been PTL for the Train and Ussuri cycles, and would like the opportunity to continue to lead the team. I am pleased with the current state of the project. We have an active community, produce interesting and useful features, and regularly receive positive feedback. The Kolla community has always been notable for being vendor-neutral and operator-driven. I recently made a proposal for a Kolla --SIG-- Club [1] with the aim of improving communication between regular contributors and the wider community. We had a good response, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses this cycle. If elected this cycle I'd like to encourage continued work on some familiar themes - improving sustainability, increasing test coverage, and better integrating Kayobe [2]. I'd also like to see us focus on our documentation. Thanks for reading, Mark Goddard (mgoddard) [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-March/013122.ht… [2] https://docs.openstack.org/kayobe

[tc][elections] Nomination
by Belmiro Moreira 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Greetings, I'd like to announce my candidacy for the OpenStack Technical Committee (TC). I'm involved with OpenStack since 2011 when CERN started to investigate a Cloud Infrastructure solution. I work in the design/deployment/operation of the CERN OpenStack Cloud. My particular interest has been how to scale and operate large OpenStack deployments. I was an active member of the old Large Deployment Team (LDT), a group of operators that shared ideas on how to scale OpenStack. I had the privilege to learn from a talented group of Operators on how they manage/run their infrastructures. Currently, a new group was created (Large Scale SIG) where I continue to have an active role. I'm fortunate enough to have attended most of the OpenStack Summits since San Francisco (2012). I'm a regular speaker talking about my experience operating OpenStack at scale. Also, I serve regularly as a track chair, participated in few OpenStack Days, Ops Meetups and wrote several blog posts. During the last year I served as a member of the OpenStack User Committee (UC). We focused in the Ambassador Program revamp and SIGs support. If elected I will focus to engage the Operator/Users community with the different Development teams and bring my experience as Developer/Operator to the group to help in the oversight on all the technical matters. It would be an honor to be an advocate of this great community and promote its mission. Thank you for your consideration, Belmiro Moreira

Add Masayuki Igawa candidacy for Quality_Assurance
by Masayuki Igawa 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

Hi everyone, I'd like to announce my candidacy as the PTL for the Quality Assurance PTL role for the Victoria cycle. First off, I would like to thank you all the contributors, core reviewers, PTLs, and anyone who involves and makes the OpenStack better. Let me introduce myself briefly. I have joined the OpenStack community since 2012 as a developer. Now, I'm a core member of some QA projects such as Tempest, os-testr, OpenStack-health, stackviz, coverage2sql, subunit2sql[1]. And I also played the mentors/instructors role at the upstream training in Japan several times. It was a great experience to know how difficult of telling people how OpenStack community is going. In the Ussuri cycle, we've almost completed "Drop Python 2.7 Support"[2] which is one of the Ussuri goals. We also have been trying to keep the gate stable which is the mission of the team. And we approved one interesting spec - "Whitebox Tempest Plugin"[3] which is one of the tempest plugins. It can access controller nodes and/or compute nodes such as read and write INI files, restart services, examine the database, etc. Tempest does not cover this feature because it isn't the scope. However, it is necessary to expand automated testing. We still have a few more planned work pending for Ussuri, such as removing/ migrating the .testr.conf to .stestr.conf, RBAC testing, removing tempest plugin sanity BLACKLIST, adding new glance tests, improving Tempest cleanup, etc. But I think we will be able to accomplish them in the Ussuri cycle as we still have around one month for Ussuri release. Along with daily QA activities, my priorities for QA for the next cycle will be: * New ideas for more tooling and/or tests project to focus on OpenStack or common communities. (whitebox tempest plugin, for example) * Stability of Tempest plugins. The sanity job is already voting, and there are 57 tempest plugins[4], but 12 plugins are in the blacklist. Some of the plugins are deprecated already, but it's hard to know from the registry page. It needs to be classified, and the page can be improved. * Guiding and motivating more contributors to QA projects, improving documentation, and advertising OpenStack QA projects. * Completing Ussuri priority items if it's still lasting. It's hard to accomplish without our collaboration. So, let's do it together!
