[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-13)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 30 Jun '25

30 Jun '25

Hello Stackers, We're thirteen weeks away from the coordinated release of OpenStack 2025.2 "Flamingo" [1]. This Thursday marks Milestone-2 of the release cycle. This is a bug-targeting milestone for OpenStack project teams, as well as a checkpoint for the OpenStack Release Management team to line up deliverables that will be part of the coordinated release at the end of this development cycle. Currently, the number of deliverables to be released has only changed slightly from the OpenStack 2025.1 release. No significant deliverables have been deprecated or removed. In the past week, the OpenStack Technical Committee did not make any new governance changes; however, several proposals are under the community's review. Most significantly, today (2025-06-30) marks the end of the OpenStack Contributor License Agreement (CLA). The CLA was adopted in July 2010 (do you feel old yet?) [2], and thousands of contributors have signed it. However, for over a decade, we've felt encumbered by how it was arcane, perceived to be more permissive than Apache v2 and caused friction with individuals and organizations. We believe it has limited contributor involvement. Today, we join several other open source projects in requiring the "Developer Certificate of Origin" as a way to sign off your contributions. As we close the lid on the CLA regime, you'll need to "git commit -s" each of your contributions from 2025-07-01 to adhere to the DCO [3][4]. We do anticipate hiccups and request your cooperation in ironing out any issues in the code review system and contributor tooling during this transition. If you notice something broken, please chime in on this mailing list or on OFTC's #opendev channel. === Weekly Meeting === The last weekly meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee was held on 2025-06-24 [5]. The meeting was well attended and covered several topics. The proposal to mark the Cyborg project as inactive [6] was withdrawn after critical CI fixes were merged. While activity has resumed for this cycle, there are concerns about the project’s long-term maintenance, particularly in light of future OpenStack-wide changes like eventlet removal and dependency updates. It was opined that Cyborg is not "feature complete" and must stay responsive to ongoing ecosystem changes, even if its core functionality appears stable. The upcoming cycle's elections will serve as a checkpoint to reassess the project’s trajectory and whether new maintainers need onboarding. We then discussed the timeline of the ongoing effort to phase out eventlet. A new governance patch [7] proposes a timeline that aligns with operator and distro expectations, especially in light of Python 3.13 adoption. Python 3.12 will continue to be a fallback for some time, but when supporting Python 3.13, we hope not to depend on eventlet across the board. The TC emphasized that continued discussion on the Gerrit change is necessary to finalize acceptable timelines. The next major topic concerned setuptools changes that will impact PBR (Python Build Reasonableness). Setuptools will remove "ScriptWriter" and "pkg_resources" by October 31, 2025. These removals break current functionality in PBR and could jeopardize CI and release workflows. A critical bug was reported against PBR by maintainers of setuptools [8]. The TC discussed options ranging from vendoring replacements to rewriting PBR logic or adopting upstream tools despite performance tradeoffs. A key concern is that PBR’s CI is currently broken and must be fixed before any meaningful changes can be implemented. We'd like to seek a volunteer to resolve this issue. Please chime in on OFTC's #openstack-tc or #openstack-oslo if you're keen to help with this. In closing, we discussed the OpenInfra Summit 2025 CFP for Forum Sessions and Project Updates. CFP submissions must be made before 23:45 PST on 2025-07-08 [9]. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee will be held on 2025-07-01 at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be hosted simultaneously over Meetpad and IRC. You're welcome to join whichever platform you prefer. The Meetpad session will be recorded, and the recording will be shared on the TC's YouTube channel [10]. Please find the agenda and joining information on the meeting's wiki page [11]. I hope you'll be able to join us there. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open for review ==== - Add service-types-authority to SDK deliverables | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953548 - Deprecate shade, os-client-config | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953549 - Remove Monasca from active project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 - Make Eventlet removal deadlines more acceptable for operators | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/952903 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-07-03: OpenStack's 15th Birthday, Colombia User Group: https://www.meetup.com/colombia-openinfra-user-group/events/308383244 - 2025-07-08: OpenInfra Board meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2025-07-19: OpenInfra Days, Indonesia: https://2025.openinfra.id/ Thank you very much for reading!

Floating IP randomly becomes unreachable from external network (OSA AIO 30.0.2, Ubuntu 24.04)
by christophel＠silival.com 28 Jun '25

28 Jun '25

Hello, I’m currently running an OpenStack-Ansible All-In-One deployment (version 30.0.2) on Ubuntu 24.04. The environment hosts several virtual machines across multiple tenant networks. Each VM is assigned a floating IP from a public 172.x.x.x range, which allows access from the controller host and external clients. The issue From time to time, a VM becomes unreachable via its floating IP. The instance is still: Running normally. Reachable from other VMs on the same internal tenant network using its private IP (10.x.x.x). Associated with the same security groups and port configuration as before. This happens without any apparent trigger or configuration change. I can still ping and SSH to other VMs’ floating IPs, so the problem is isolated to one instance at a time. Workaround The only way I’ve found to restore external access is: Disassociate and delete the current floating IP. Allocate a new floating IP from the same pool. Associate it to the same VM port. Once the new floating IP is set, the VM becomes immediately reachable again. This has now occurred several times across different VMs. I’m concerned it will keep happening randomly. Question Has anyone encountered similar behavior with floating IPs in an OpenStack-Ansible AIO setup? Is there a known root cause, or any specific logs or areas I should investigate? If this mailing list is not the right place for this type of question, I’d also appreciate guidance on where to report it or who to contact. Thanks in advance for your help, Christophe.

[manila] Python-manilaclient functional tests hack-a-ton - Jun 30th - Jul 4th
by Carlos Silva 27 Jun '25

27 Jun '25

Hello zorillas and interested stackers, Our Flamingo hack-a-ton starts next Monday at 15:00 UTC. We've been closing the gaps on OSC for a while now, and we are getting close to wrap everything up prior to the removal of the manilaclient and fully focus on OSC. On this hack-a-ton, we will focus on adding more functional test coverage to the OSC commands. Hackathon Plan: * Task Assignments: participants are encouraged to create, claim, and edit Taiga cards for their chosen implementations. Recent additions can serve as inspiration. Please contact Carlos (carloss) to be added to the Taiga board. Additionally, please add yourself as a "watcher" to two other Taiga cards being implemented by others to serve as a code reviewer. * Code Submission Window: Code can be submitted between June 30th, 15:00 UTC, and July 4th, 15:00 UTC, to be considered part of this hackathon. * Kick-off Session: A one-hour kick-off session will be held on June 30th at 15:00 UTC. This session will cover environment setup and also how to implement and run tests in your environment. The doc was kindly prepared by Vida (vhari) and is already available [2] in case you'd like a headstart. * Mid-point Status Check: The Manila upstream weekly meeting hour will serve as a mid-point status check. [1] https://gist.github.com/silvacarloss/295ca27bc1d76aed6564ab05ebdea2c7 [2] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n44DXYvn_HDvr-NIuL3k3SE_UxoH15swMn0zPbc… Looking forward to working with you!

migrating to ovn
by Mario David 27 Jun '25

27 Jun '25

hi all after today's meetup I have compiled information/documentation about migrating to OVN here https://github.com/mariojmdavid/migrate-to-ovn feel free to check, comment, criticize, you can open issues or contribute the process is far from full bulletproof I have this openstack infra up and running in production, but there are a few points I am in doubt, and will need further discussion namely about the net namespace (I was used with ip netns exec qrouter.... on the nodes running the l3-agent), as well as how to properly configure SRIOV but will get there best Mario

[release] Release countdown for week R-13, Jun 30 - Jul 04
by Elõd Illés 27 Jun '25

27 Jun '25

Development Focus ----------------- The Flamingo-2 milestone is next week, on July 3rd, 2025! 2025.2 Flamingo-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/flamingo/schedule.html for details. General Information ------------------- Libraries need to be released at least once per milestone period. The release team will soon propose releases for any library that has not been otherwise released since milestone-1. PTL's and release liaisons, please watch for these and give a +1 to acknowledge them. If there is some reason to hold off on a release, let us know that as well. A +1 would be appreciated, but if we do not hear anything at all by the end of the week, we will assume things are OK to proceed. Remember that 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. Next week is also the deadline to freeze the contents of the final release. All new '2025.2 Flamingo' deliverables need to have a deliverable file in https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/flami… and need to have done a release by milestone-2. Changes proposing those deliverables for inclusion in 2025.2 Flamingo have been posted, please update them with an actual release request before the milestone-2 deadline if you plan on including that deliverable in 2025.2 Flamingo, or -1 if you need one more cycle to be ready. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Flamingo-2 Milestone: July 3rd, 2025 Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-release
