[release] Release countdown for week R-15, Dec 18-22
by Elõd Illés 16 Dec '23

16 Dec '23

Development Focus ----------------- The Caracal-2 milestone will happen in next month, on January 11th, 2024. 2024.1 Caracal-related specs should now be finalized so that teams can move to implementation ASAP. Some teams observe specific deadlines on the second milestone (mostly spec freezes): please refer to https://releases.openstack.org/caracal/schedule.html for details. General Information ------------------- Please remember that libraries need to be released at least once per milestone period. At milestone 2, the release team will propose releases for any library that has not been otherwise released since milestone 1. Other non-library deliverables that follow the cycle-with-intermediary release model should have an intermediary release before milestone-2. Those who haven't will be proposed to switch to the cycle-with-rc model, which is more suited to deliverables that are released only once per cycle. At milestone-2 we also freeze the contents of the final release. If you have a new deliverable that should be included in the final release, you should make sure it has a deliverable file in: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/carac… You should request a beta release (or intermediary release) for those new deliverables by milestone-2. We understand some may not be quite ready for a full release yet, but if you have something minimally viable to get released it would be good to do a 0.x release to exercise the release tooling for your deliverables. See the MembershipFreeze description for more details: https://releases.openstack.org/caracal/schedule.html#c-mf Finally, now may be a good time for teams to check on any stable releases that need to be done for your deliverables. If you have bugfixes that have been backported, but no stable release getting those. If you are unsure what is out there committed but not released, in the openstack/releases repo, running the command "tools/list_stable_unreleased_changes.sh <cycle_name>" gives a nice report. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Caracal-2 Milestone: January 11th, 2024 Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-release

[solum][tc][all] Solum project marked inactive by TC
by Jay Faulkner 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

OpenStack Community, The Technical Committee marked the solum project inactive[0] due to failing CI jobs and general lack of contribution. If you rely on solum, please take notice that without intervention, it will not be part of future OpenStack releases, including 2024.1 (Caracal). The only way for a project to leave inactive status is to become active again, and be removed from the inactive list, or to be retired from OpenStack. For more information, please see our documentation[1] on inactive projects. I encourage the OpenStack community to rally and support solum to bring it back into active status. If you are an operator and want more information on how to contribute and get this project going, please reply to this email and someone will be glad to help. Thank you, Jay Faulkner OpenStack TC Chair 0: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/902624 1: https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/emerging-technology-and-inact…

[ironic] Why do we support RAID level 2?
by Dmitry Tantsur 14 Dec '23

14 Dec '23

Hi folks, I was going through our RAID support and noticed that we declare support for RAID level 2. Per wikipedia [1] it's an extremely rarely used level which offers little benefits. Does anyone remember why we use that? Will anyone cry if we drop it? My worry is officially supporting something that nobody can even test because of lack of hardware or real use case behind it.
