[release] Release countdown for week R-5, Aug 30 - Sep 03
by Herve Beraud 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

Development Focus ----------------- We are getting close to the end of the Xena cycle! Next week on 02 September, 2021 is the Xena-3 milestone, also known as feature freeze. It's time to wrap up feature work in the services and their client libraries, and defer features that won't make it to the Yoga cycle. General Information ------------------- This coming week is the deadline for client libraries: their last feature release needs to happen before "Client library freeze" on 02 September, 2021. Only bugfix releases will be allowed beyond this point. When requesting those library releases, you can also include the stable/xena branching request with the review. As an example, see the "branches" section here: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/pike/… 02 September, 2021 is also the deadline for feature work in all OpenStack deliverables following the cycle-with-rc model. To help those projects produce a first release candidate in time, only bugfixes should be allowed in the master branch beyond this point. Any feature work past that deadline has to be raised as a Feature Freeze Exception (FFE) and approved by the team PTL. Finally, feature freeze is also the deadline for submitting a first version of your cycle-highlights. Cycle highlights are the raw data that helps shape what is communicated in press releases and other release activity at the end of the cycle, avoiding direct contacts from marketing folks. See https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/release-management.html#cycle… for more details. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Xena-3 milestone (feature freeze): 02 September, 2021 (R-5 week) RC1 deadline: The week of 13 September, 2021 (R-3 week) Final RC deadline: The week of 27 September, 2021 (R-1 week) Final Xena release: 06 October, 2021 -- Hervé Beraud Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/ https://twitter.com/4383hberaud

Hi, Since very long time Lajos is one of the most active Neutron contributors and core reviewers. Now he will also be Neutron PTL. Giving all of that I asked on today's drivers-meeting about nominating Lajos Katona to the neutron-drivers team and we all agreed there that Lajos deserves to be part of that team and will be great addition there [1]. So I just added him to the neutron-drivers. Thx for all You work and welcome in the team Lajos!

[manila] Propose haixin to manila-core
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hello Zorillas, Haixin (haixin77 on Launchpad, haixin on OFTC) has been contributing to manila since the Train release. He is part of a team that operates manila at scale at Inspur and supports their storage integrations within OpenStack. He diligently files bug reports, interacts with the community and has thus far contributed several important perf-scale improvements across the service stack. He also provides useful review feedback to fellow contributors, and participates in team-efforts such as bug squashes, review jams and mentorship of new contributors. I'm delighted to note that he wants to take on some more maintenance responsibility [2]. So, with your support I'd like to add haixin to the manila-core group on gerrit. This "power" comes with significant responsibility and I'm hoping haixin will ramp up soon and help share some of the load from the existing maintainers. Please let me know your thoughts, +/- 1s, 2s, 2-cents, etc! Thanks, Goutham [1] https://www.stackalytics.io/?user_id=haixin77&project_type=all&release=all&… [2] https://docs.openstack.org/manila/latest/contributor/manila-review-policy.h…

[devstack][neutron][manila] Instances having trouble getting to external network with OVN
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hi, Some third party storage CI running against manila repos has had issues setting up VMs and providing access to external resources in devstack; these issues started around the time that the default ml2 plugin was switched to OVN. Folks in the manila team aren't familiar with devstack/CI networking to determine how to resolve these; and we'd totally appreciate help from networking experts in this regard. A sample local.conf file used by the CI is here: http://paste.openstack.org/show/807449/ Manila's tests: - create a private tenant network - setup a router that connects the private network to the public network - create a nova VM on the private tenant network - attempt to mount a share via NFS from within this VM The final step fails because the NFS mount command times out within the test VM: tempest.lib.exceptions.SSHExecCommandFailed: Command 'sudo mount -vt nfs "10.16.xx.xx:/share-96ae8d0c-8bab-4fcd-b278-51a6f473e03c-manila" /mnt', exit status: 32, stderr: mount.nfs: mount(2): Connection timed out mount.nfs: Connection timed out stdout: mount.nfs: timeout set for Mon Jun 28 14:47:19 2021 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=10.16.xx.xx,clientaddr=10.1.0.26' The timeout seems to be because the VM is unable to reach the NFS server that's external to the devstack host. The NFS server is reachable from the devstack host. Have there been any changes to devstack configuration that we need to be aware of, wrt VMs having access to the external network? Thanks, Goutham

[election][cloudkitty] PTL Candidacy for Yoga
by Rafael Weingärtner 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hello Cloudkitters, I would like to nominate myself to serve as Cloudkitty PTL for the Yoga cycle. I've been working with OpenStack since 2018 and contributing to Cloudkitty since May 2019. I hope that we can continue to achieve goals together, making CloudKitty better and more robust. We should also aim to grow our contributor base and continue to spread the word about CloudKitty (blog posts, social media, etc). Features that I think we should aim for during the next cycle: the reprocessing API (https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cloudkitty/+/799207) and Storage state status ( https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cloudkitty/+/777442) both of which are already proposed and in the review process. Best regards, -- Rafael Weingärtner

[kolla] PTL non-candidacy
by Mark Goddard 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hi Koalas, As I suspect may be the case with many PTLs, I first took on the role largely because it needed to be done and no other candidates were forthcoming. As I settled into the role I found that I actually rather enjoyed it. The project has certainly come far since I first started using it in 2016, and I'm proud to have helped to steer the ship for a while. After 5 release cycles, the time has come to pass on the Kolla PTL hat to another Koala. I will still be actively involved in the community, and will be happy to help the next PTL while they get comfortable. Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this role, and to everyone who makes Kolla such a great community to be involved in. Long live Kolla! Cheers, Mark
