Hello Everyone, Here is this week's summary of the Technical Committee activities. 1. TC Meetings: ============ * We had this week's meeting on Feb 8. Most of the meeting discussions are summarized in this email. The meeting logs are available @ https://meetings.opendev.org/meetings/tc/2023/tc.2023-02-08-16.00.log.html * The next TC weekly meeting will be on Feb 15 Wed at 16:00 UTC, Feel free to add the topic to the agenda[1] by Feb 14. 2. What we completed this week: ========================= * Defined 2023.2 cycle testing runtime[2] I have pushed the job template change which needs to wait until 2023.1 release[3] 3. Activities In progress: ================== TC Tracker for the 2023.1 cycle ------------------------------------- * Current cycle working items and their progress are present in the 2023.1 tracker etherpad[4]. Open Reviews ----------------- * Six open reviews for ongoing activities[5]. OpenInfra Board + OpenStack Syncup Call -------------------------------------------------- We continued the sync-up call with Board members on Feb 8[6]. We continued the discussion from the previous meeting on below two topics: 1. Renovate translation SIG i18 Brian gave the updates on this and weblate license is purchased. There is a discussion going on about hosting the service. Another thing pending on this is to find the maintainer to help in weblate hosting and translation work. Brian will discuss it with Ian and Seongsoo about it. 2. Less Diversity (of organization contributing to OpenStack) This was continued to know if there is any actual progress to solve this problem. We always discuss spreading the word about benefits to the community and hope more companies will come forward for help. We are still facing less diversity from organizations involved in upstream activities. Many projects are/will face a single company maintaining them and will end up on retirement if that company changes their plan. TripelO is a recent example of it. Proposal was to Guidelines for using the OpenStack/project release version/name in 1. releasenotes 2. Documentation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As discussed in the last vPTG, there was some confusion about using the OpenStack release name or version and project version in release notes and documentation. Slawek proposed guidelines about it[7] which is up fore review. Defining 2023 upstream investment opportunities ------------------------------------------------------------ Every calendar year, TC defines the upstream investment opportunities where we need help and the organization can help. I have pushed the patch[8] to define the 2023 calendar year which is nothing but continuing last year's opportunities. Please let TC know if any of the areas/projects you think need help and should be added to this list. Cleanup of PyPI maintainer list for OpenStack Projects ---------------------------------------------------------------- The audit process is going on and a few projects have been completed [9]. There is a discussion also going on in ML[10]. JayF is working on an email template which can be used to communicate to additional developers to transfer the ownership to 'openstackci' account and remove them from the maintainer's list. The process to find the less active projects early in the cycle: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No update this week. JayF started the etherpad to collect the data and define the criteria to help in this process[11]. Project updates ------------------- * Add Cinder Huawei charm[12] * Add the woodpecker charm to Openstack charms[13] * Retire xstatic-font-awesome[14] * mistral adopting PTL model[15] 4. How to contact the TC: ==================== If you would like to discuss or give feedback to TC, you can reach out to us in multiple ways: 1. Email: you can send the email with tag [tc] on openstack-discuss ML[16]. 2. Weekly meeting: The Technical Committee conduct a weekly meeting every Thursday 15:00 UTC [17] 3.

[neutron][releases] Issue with neutron-tempest-plugin in T, U and V
by Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

Hello: I've started to see an error in the neutron-tempest-plugin job executions, in T, U and V. The hash used for these versions is the same [1]. This has been marked as the last version of this project in these releases. However I found [2] today. The library "guestmount" seems to be not present in Ubuntu 20.04 and we need to install it. That was done in [3] and is present in newer releases. My question here is: how do I push a patch for these versions (tag=1.6.0) and release a 2nd "last" version (if possible)? Thanks in advance. U and V last release: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/864342 T last release: da9745f8b12dcb7e6f52d9ee868bc402cb44055e [1]https://paste.opendev.org/show/bkKq38Moq2qBXwpr4vSv/ [2]https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2006763 [3]https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin/+/813195

[election][ptl][tacker] PTL Candidacy for 2023.2 (Bobcat)
by Yasufumi Ogawa 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

Hi, I'd like to propose my candidacy for Tacker PTL for Bobcat cycle. I have been a Tacker's PTL since Victoria and mainly contributed to provide the latest features of ETSI-NVF standard features to enable operators to deploy their services. As Tacker team, we have focused on introducing container management support while revising the standard features to follow the latest API specifications. Our interest has been shifting to more practical usecases such as providing 5GC services with VRAN features on Tacker and OpenStack. I'd like to make a progress for expanding these usecases required by operators in the next cycle. Regards, Yasufumi (yasufum)

[release] Release countdown for week R-5, Feb 13-17
by Thierry Carrez 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

Development Focus ----------------- We are getting close to the end of the 2023.1 Antelope cycle! Next week on February 16 is the Antelope-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 2023.2 Bobcat cycle. General Information ------------------- This coming week is the deadline for client libraries: their last feature release needs to happen before "Client library freeze" on February 16. Only bugfix releases will be allowed beyond this point. When requesting those library releases, you can also include the stable/2023.1 branching request with the review. As an example, see the "branches" section here: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/pike/… February 16 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 a good time for submitting a first version of your cycle-highlights, ahead of the deadline on February 23. 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 -------------------------- Early bird deadline for OpenInfra Summit registration: February 15 Antelope-3 milestone (feature freeze): February 16 (R-5 week) Cycle Highlights Due: February 23 (R-4 week) RC1 deadline: March 2 (R-3 week) Final RC deadline: March 16 (R-1 week) Final 2023.1 Antelope release: March 22 Virtual PTG: March 27-31 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[mistral] lists and dict via CLI or dashboard not possible?
by Engelmann Florian 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

Hello, I spent 2 hours of testing the "example" workflow "create_instance" that was created by mistral-db-manage populate. Mistral 15.0.0 (including commit: 475c5cf34588fb88f2531883c957097ada5a5fb9 Fix sorting error when type is different) I tested with the CLI (python-mistralclient 4.5.0 as well as 3.7.0) and with the horizon mistral-dashboard (including this fix: mistraldashboard/workflows/forms.py @@ -56,7 +56,7 @@ class ExecuteForm(forms.SelfHandlingForm): def handle(self, request, data): try: - data['workflow_id'] = data.pop('workflow_name') + data['wf_identifier'] = data.pop('workflow_name') data['workflow_input'] = {} for param in self.workflow_parameters: value = data.pop(param) Now it looks like mistral and the mistral-dashboard are working. But: How to enter a list or a dict to any input field? The definition of "create_instance" looks like: --- version: '2.0' create_instance: type: direct description: | Creates VM and waits till VM OS is up and running. input: - name - image_id - flavor_id - ssh_username: null - ssh_password: null # Name of previously created keypair to inject into the instance. # Either ssh credentials or keypair must be provided. - key_name: null # Security_groups: A list of security group names - security_groups: null # An ordered list of nics to be added to this server, with information about connected networks, fixed IPs, port etc. # Example: nics: [{"net-id": "27aa8c1c-d6b8-4474-b7f7-6cdcf63ac856"}] - nics: null task-defaults: on-error: - delete_vm output: ip: <% $.vm_ip %> id: <% $.vm_id %> name: <% $.name %> status: <% $.status %> tasks: create_vm: description: Initial request to create a VM. action: nova.servers_create name=<% $.name %> image=<% $.image_id %> flavor=<% $.flavor_id %> input: key_name: <% $.key_name %> security_groups: <% $.security_groups %> nics: <% $.nics %> publish: vm_id: <% task(create_vm).result.id %> on-success: - search_for_ip ... But eg, "nics" (mandatory) expects a dict: https://docs.openstack.org/python-novaclient/rocky/reference/api/novaclient… nics – An ordered list of nics (dicts) to be added to this server, with information about connected networks, fixed IPs, port etc. Beginning in microversion 2.37 this field is required and also supports a single string value of ‘auto’ or ‘none’. The ‘auto’ value means the Compute service will automatically allocate a network for the project if one is not available. This is the same behavior as not passing anything for nics before microversion 2.37. The ‘none’ value tells the Compute service to not allocate any networking for the server. and "security_groups" a list: security_groups – A list of security group names I tried all possible notations... and gave up after 2 hours. Is it possible to use that workflow from the CLI and the mistral-dashboard? How? Could anybody please provide some examples for "nics" and "security_groups"? All the best, Florian

Hello guys. I know that Magnum is using Fedora Coreos for k8s. Why don't we use a long-term distro such as Ubuntu for this project? I will be more stable. and this project seems obsolete with the old version for k8s. Nguyen Huu Khoi

[all][tc] Recap of Q1 OpenInfra Board Sync with OpenStack
by Jeremy Stanley 09 Feb '23

09 Feb '23

Interested members of the OpenStack community and OpenInfra Foundation board of directors met via conference call yesterday for an informal quarterly discussion. The call lasted one hour, and primary topics of discussion were an update on the replacement translation platform and the impact of contributor diversity on project sustainability. You can find brief notes here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/r.f3414b0bc2932c55376fbc1babde2192 We did not discuss a next time to meet, but since we've done the past three calls approximately three months apart, I propose we schedule 20:00 UTC on Wednesday, May 10. If there are no objections in the coming days, I'll distribute a placeholder calendar file for everyone's convenience. I've also created a new pad here for brainstorming topics for the upcoming discussion: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2023-05-board-openstack-sync -- Jeremy Stanley

Re: [TripleO] Last maintained release of TripleO is Wallaby
by Ümit Seren 09 Feb '23

09 Feb '23

What are the implications with regards to RDO and RHOSP which are based on TripleO ? Will they move to a different deployment method or will also development seize after Zed ? Best Ümit Seren From: James Slagle <james.slagle(a)gmail.com> Date: Wednesday, 8. February 2023 at 18:38 To: OpenStack Discuss <openstack-discuss(a)lists.openstack.org> Subject: [TripleO] Last maintained release of TripleO is Wallaby The team of TripleO developers, reviewers, and community have no plans to do another release of TripleO, or to continue maintaining the Zed release. This means the last maintained release of TripleO is Wallaby. The plan is to continue to maintain the train and wallaby branches of TripleO repositories under the openstack namespace. We plan to continue to run existing CI on those branches, although we anticipate reducing to a minimal set of jobs in the future. Going forward, the TripleO team expects to continue involvement in other OpenStack projects, and focus on different approaches to OpenStack deployment. The team is not aware of enough other community interest to continue to maintain the zed, master, and future branches of TripleO. Eventually, we will empty commit these branches with a pointer to Wallaby being the last release. If other interests do exist to maintain TripleO going forward, then those plans can adjust. TripleO does not plan on nominating a PTL in the current Bobcat election cycle. If a PTL-like contact is needed for train and wallaby maintenance, then someone will be nominated. I am also not sure how to reflect this project structure change within openstack/governance, and am looking for guidance on how to do so. This type of change did not seem to exactly fit within the concepts of inactive or retired projects. I can work on the patches for governance with some direction, if anyone can provide it. Thanks, and please let us know any questions or feedback about this plan. -- -- James Slagle --
