[keystone] Questions about federation mapping rules for academic research
by Sait, Abubakur Abdulgader S 07 Feb '26

07 Feb '26

Hello Keystone community, I am a PhD student researching privacy in federated identity systems. My work focuses on OpenStack Keystone federation, specifically how mapping rules process attributes from external Identity Providers. I would appreciate any insights from operators or developers about real-world federation deployments. My questions are: About mapping rules: 1. How many mapping rules do you typically have per federated IdP? 2. How often do these rules change after initial deployment? 3. Do you commonly use regex conditions, or mostly exact match conditions like any_one_of and not_any_of? About attributes: 4. How many attributes do you typically receive from federated IdPs? 5. For multi-valued attributes, how many values does a typical user have? About privacy: 6. Do you have privacy requirements affecting federated attributes? Any response would help my research. I am happy to share findings with the community when completed. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Abubakur Sait PhD Student, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, USA

[all][election] Check your voting eligibility for the OpenStack PTL & TC elections
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 06 Feb '26

06 Feb '26

Hello Stackers, Election season is here, and we want to ensure every voice that helps build OpenStack is heard. I would like you to take a moment to verify your "Active Contributor" [1] and OpenInfra Foundation membership status so you don't miss your chance to vote. To receive a ballot for the OpenStack TC elections, you must be a contributor to OpenStack repositories _and_ hold the status of "OIF Individual Member." To receive a ballot for a PTL election, you must have contributed to any of a project team's repositories _and_ hold the status of "OIF Individual Member." Check your membership level: ======================== Log in to your profile at https://openinfra.org/a/profile. Even if you’ve been a member for years, the OpenInfra Foundation (OIF) has a policy that automatically downgrades memberships to "OIF Community Member" if you haven't voted in recent Governing Board elections [2]. Upon logging in, if you see that you are an "OIF Community Member," you can restore your "OIF Individual Member" status on that profile page. Get recognized as an "Active Contributor": ================================ While our policy traditionally focuses on contributors to OpenStack's git repositories, we know that impactful work happens far beyond just code and documentation. We definitely value the "intangible" work that keeps this community running. If you haven’t contributed code or documentation to a repository during the 2025.2–2026.1 timeframe (March 14, 2025 – February 18, 2026), you can still vote! Please reach out to the PTL or DPL liaison of the project team you’ve supported and request to be added as an "Extra AC" (Extra Active Contributor) today [3]. The deadline to do this is February 13, 2026. If you run into issues or have questions about your eligibility, the TC would be happy to help. Simply reply to this thread, or chime in on OFTC's #openstack-tc IRC channel. Thanks, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr) [1] "Active Contributor": https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html#voters-for-tc-se… [2] OIF membership page: https://openinfra.org/join/individual/ [3] Extra AC deadline: https://releases.openstack.org/gazpacho/schedule.html#g-extra-acs

[release] Release countdown for week R-7
by Thierry Carrez 06 Feb '26

06 Feb '26

Development Focus ----------------- We are entering the last weeks of the 2026.1 " Gazpacho" development cycle. From now until the final release, we'll send a countdown email like this every week. It's probably a good time for teams to take stock of their library and client work that needs to be completed yet. The non-client library freeze is coming up, followed closely by the client lib freeze. Please plan accordingly to avoid any last minute rushes to get key functionality in. General Information ------------------- Next week is the Extra-AC freeze, in preparation for elections. All contributions to OpenStack are valuable, but some are not expressed as Gerrit code changes. Please list active contributors to your project team who do not have a code contribution this cycle, and therefore won't automatically be considered an Active Contributor and allowed to vote. This is done by adding extra-acs to https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/branch/master/reference/projec… before the Extra-AC freeze on February 12th. A quick reminder of the upcoming freeze dates. Those vary depending on deliverable type: * Oslo libraries are entering feature freeze next week, February 12th. * General libraries (except client libraries) need to have their last feature release before Non-client library freeze (February 19th). Their stable branches are cut early. * Client libraries (think python-*client libraries) need to have their last feature release before Client library freeze (February 26th) * Deliverables following a cycle-with-rc model (that would be most services) observe a Feature freeze on that same date, February 26th. Any feature addition beyond that date should be discussed on the mailing list and get PTL approval. After feature freeze, cycle-with-rc deliverables need to produce a first release candidate (and a stable branch) before RC1 deadline (March 12th) * Deliverables following cycle-with-intermediary model can release as necessary, but in all cases before Final RC deadline (March 26th) Finally, now is also a good time to start planning what highlights you want for your deliverables in the cycle highlights. The deadline to submit an initial version for those is set to one week after Feature freeze (March 5th). Background on cycle-highlights: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-December/125613.html Project Team Guide, Cycle-Highlights: https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/release-management.html#cycle… jeremy [at] openstack.org/fungi on IRC is available if you need help selecting or writing your highlights. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Extra-AC freeze: February 12th, 2026 (R-7 week) Oslo feature freeze: February 12th, 2026 (R-7 week) Non-client library freeze: February 19th, 2026 (R-6 week) Client library freeze: February 26th, 2026 (R-5 week) Gazpacho-3 milestone: February 26th, 2026 (R-5 week) Cycle highlights deadline: March 5th, 2026 (R-4 week) Hibiscus (virtual) PTG: April 20-24, 2026 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
