[election][Cyborg]PTL candidacy for Z
by Brin Zhang(张百林) 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Hi all, I write to submit my candidacy for the Cyborg PTL position during the Z cycle. I have been PTL for the Yoga cycle, and I would like to serve the community for another cycle. In yoga cycle, we have competed get device profile by name, clearly resource provide, updated devices, deployables' API docs, etc.. But we also have some new feature need to trace, e.g. vGPU support (splite a new spec wit usage of new trait of OWNER_NOVA, need to be down with Nova team), add xilinx FPGA driver, and add the UT to cover many scenarios. Another thing is to attract more contributors to the Cyborg contribution, to increase the activity of the Cyborg project, although I have started to do so. In summary, I want to keep the stability and diversity of accelerator devices in OpenStack. Best regards for you. Brin Zhang (brinzhang)

[release] Release countdown for week R-6, Feb 14-18
by Előd Illés 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

Development Focus ----------------- Work on libraries should be wrapping up, in preparation for the various library-related deadlines coming up. Now is a good time to make decisions on deferring feature work to the next development cycle in order to be able to focus on finishing already-started feature work. General Information ------------------- We are now getting close to the end of the cycle, and will be gradually freezing feature work on the various deliverables that make up the OpenStack release. This coming week is the deadline for general libraries (except client libraries): their last feature release needs to happen before "Non-client library freeze" on February 17th, 2022. Only bugfixes releases will be allowed beyond this point. When requesting those library releases, you can also include the stable/yogabranching request with the review (as an example, see the "branches" section here: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/pike/… In the next weeks we will have deadlines for: * Client libraries (think python-*client libraries), which need to have their last feature release before "Client library freeze" (February 24th, 2022) * Deliverables following a cycle-with-rc model (that would be most services), which observe a Feature freeze on that same date, February 24th, 2022. Any feature addition beyond that date should be discussed on the mailing-list and get PTL approval. As we are getting to the point of creating stable/yogabranches, this would be a good point for teams to review membership in their $project-stable-maint groups. Once the stable/yogabranches are cut for a repo, the ability to approve any necessary backports into those branches for Yogawill be limited to the members of that stable team. If there are any questions about stable policy or stable team membership, please reach out in the #openstack-stable channel. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Non-client library freeze: February 17th, 2022(R-6 week) Client library freeze: February 24th, 2022(R-5 week) Yoga-3 milestone: February 24th, 2022(R-5 week) Cycle Highlights Due: February 24th, 2022(R-5 week) Yogafinal release: March 30th, 2022 Next PTG: April 4 - 8, 2022 (virtual) ElődIllés irc: elodilles

[election][nova] Sylvain to throw his hat into the Nova PTL ring again
by Sylvain Bauza 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

Hello again Nova (and Placement) fellows, This went fast, but it's time for me to run again for the Nova PTL position, this time for the Zen/Zombie/Zeta [1] release cycle, after having been the PTL for the Yoga cycle. Just a quick look at this current cycle. First, it was quick but : - we added a new way to help contributors to say they are reviewing some change - we now have a new nova-core - we have around 25 accepted feature requests and 15 of them are already reviewed. What we had't yet time to discuss and what I'd like us to start to look are : - given some operators want to upgrade at least every year, we should try to start seeing how to support two-cycle-older computes - sometimes we want to do things that we'd like but that we don't have time for. Some of them are actually simple to implement. Maybe then we should organize back ways to share ideas to new contributors and provide them mentoring efforts (eg. with Outreachy or any engineering interns wanting to work on OpenStack and Nova in particular) As you know, I'm also open to any idea. I'm not a leader, I'm just a herder. Thanks, -Sylvain [1] Pick any Z name you want given we don't know yet the result.

[cinder][nova][ironic][glance][downstream distro] raising requirements minima in yoga os-brick
by Brian Rosmaita 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

Hello os-brick consumers, I have a patch up raising the minima in {test-}requirements.txt for the yoga os-brick release. I seem to remember that when I did this without warning last cycle, it caused a few issues (I think mostly a cascade of updates at an inconvenient time for people still maintaining lower-constraints.txt; probably nothing more serious because we're all testing in the gates with the latest versions allowed by upper-constraints anyway). The commit message on the patch explains what changes are made (and some that aren't): https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/828802 Please respond before 18:00 UTC on Monday 14 Feb if you see any issues. (Sorry this email is a bit late, but that's how I roll.) cheers, brian

[election][trove][ptl] PTL non-candidacy
by Lingxian Kong 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

Hi all, I'm writing this email to let you know that I'm not going to run for Trove PTL for Z dev cycle. I've been serving Trove PTL since Train, trying the best to revive the project back to production ready, lots of changes have been made since then, and also helped my former employer successfully deploy Trove in production and pass the security review conducted by the 3rd party security company. However, I changed my job recently and shifted the focus, can't guarantee the contribution for this open source project, hopefully someone could pick that up and drive the project. I'm willing to provide help if needed. --- Lingxian Kong
