[all][elections][ptl][tc] Combined PTL/TC 2026.2 cycle Election Season
by Ian Y. Choi 04 Feb '26

04 Feb '26

Election details: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ The nomination period officially begins Feb 04, 2026 23:45 UTC. Please read the stipulations and timelines for candidates and electorate contained in these governance documents[1][2][3]. Due to circumstances of timing, PTL and TC elections for the coming cycle will run concurrently; deadlines for their nomination and voting activities are synchronized but will still use separate ballots. Please note, if only one candidate is nominated as PTL for a project team during the PTL nomination period, that candidate will win by acclaim, and there will be no poll. There will only be a poll if there is more than one candidate stepping forward for a project team's PTL position. Similarly, there will only be a TC poll if there are more than 5 candidates stepping forward the available TC positions. All members of the community are encouraged to confirm their email address as described at: https://governance.openstack.org/election/#electorate All candidates and prospective voters need to make sure they have reestablished their individual memberships in the Open Infrastructure Foundation https://openinfra.org/a/renew-membership (if this URL redirects you to your profile page, your membership is already renewed and nothing more is required), otherwise their nominations won't be verified and ballots will not be sent. There will be further announcements posted to the mailing list as action is required from the electorate or candidates. This email is for information purposes only. If you have any questions which you feel affect others please reply to this email thread. If you have any questions that you wish to discuss in private please email any of the election officials[4] so that we may address your concerns. Thank you, [1] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html [2] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/role-of-the-tc.html [3] https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/ptl.html [4] https://governance.openstack.org/election/#election-officials

[ironic] A first-class physical location API?
by Jay Faulkner 03 Feb '26

03 Feb '26

Something I've seen come up in a few discussions over the last couple of cycles is the need for Ironic to contain more useful information about the physical world. It's made me wonder if there's an opportunity to add bigger support for physical characteristics/locations? I'm thinking metadata like: - Datacenter the server is in - Computer room (or other DC subdivision) - Row - Rack - Slot # - Physical cabling (e.g. what switches you might be connected to and how) Do other folks see this need? I'm trying to tease out if there's something here or not, so just curious about use cases and what people think. -Jay

[tc][ptls] Streamlining the OpenStack User Survey
by Allison Price 03 Feb '26

03 Feb '26

Hi everyone, Today in the OpenStack TC meeting, I shared the intention of streamlining the OpenStack User Survey[1] in an effort to increase participation while still preserving the valuable insights we get from the responses. As a next step, I wanted to share an etherpad[2] with some context on what we are trying to achieve with this process as well as some pointed questions to help guide us as we make changes to improve the survey. If you have taken or reviewed the results of the OpenStack User Survey, please share your insights. This is an incredibly valuable tool and I want to ensure that any changes that we make are intentional and can help support the upstream community. I know everyone is in the middle of 2026.1 Gazpacho work, so we have some time. If possible, I would like to have as much input as possible in the etherpad by April 15 so we can then use the upcoming virtual PTG[3] to go through the responses and make a plan. Then, we can implement the changes in August 2026 for the next version of the survey. If you have any questions or would like to ensure you’re a part of this process, please let me know. I will send reminders as we get closer to the PTG. Thanks, Allison [1] https://www.openstack.org/user-survey [2] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/OpenStack-User-Survey-Streamlining [3] https://openinfra.org/ptg

[neutron] IPv6 DVR for OVN - Seeking feedback on patch review prospects
by Maximilian Stinsky-Damke 03 Feb '26

03 Feb '26

Hello, I'm reaching out about the IPv6 DVR feature for OVN (bug #1998609: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1998609) and the associated patch (https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/867513) As noted in the bug comments, Roberto Bartzen Acosta maintained this patch across multiple release cycles, but it hasn't received reviews from core maintainers and is currently blocked by merge conflicts. Roberto mentioned that the feature hasn't been getting traction despite the work put in. This feature would enable distributed routing for IPv6 GUA addresses in OVN deployments, similar to how IPv4 FIPs work with DVR today. The spec was approved and merged (https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-specs/+/867979) indicating community interest. Before I invest time rebasing the patch and resolving merge conflicts, I'd like to understand: 1. Are there technical or architectural concerns that have prevented review? 2. Is there a reason this hasn't been prioritized, or is it a matter of reviewer availability? 3. Would core maintainers be willing to review if the patch is rebased and updated? I'm happy to do the rebase work, but I'd prefer not to spend time on something that won't be merged. Any guidance on the status and viability of this feature would be appreciated. Thanks, Max

[manila] Removal of the "manila" CLI
by Carlos Silva 03 Feb '26

03 Feb '26

Hello everyone, Following up on our deprecation of the manila shell client, we are officially announcing its removal in the 2026.1 Gazpacho release [1]. The legacy manila shell was first deprecated in the OpenStack Zed release. Since then, we have achieved full feature parity with our OpenStackClient (OSC) plugin. Moving forward, Manila will exclusively support the "openstack share" command set. No new features have been added to the legacy "manila" client since its deprecation, and it did not support recent API microversions. The manila executable will no longer be installed or supported. All management and provisioning tasks must be performed using the openstack CLI (e.g., openstack share create instead of manila create). If you are still using the "manila" command in your automation, CI/CD pipelines, or daily workflows, please migrate to the openstack CLI immediately. We appreciate your cooperation as we move toward a more maintainable OpenStack CLI experience. Regards, carloss [1] https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22bp/openstack-client-support%22+(statu…

[manila] Removal of the long deprecated "v1" API
by Carlos Silva 03 Feb '26

03 Feb '26

Hello everyone, After being deprecated for nearly a decade, the Manila V1 API is officially being removed from the codebase [1]. This effort will be completed in the 2026.1 Gazpacho release. Since the introduction of the Microversioned V2 API, V1 has been deprecated. However, to reduce technical debt and streamline our maintenance efforts, we are finally decommissioning it. In the Gazpacho release, the /v1 endpoint will cease to exist. While we sunset this API, please note that the /v2 API at micro-version 2.0 is identical to the /v1 API. Action Required: If you have legacy scripts or integrations still pointing to the V1 endpoint (which we do not expect at this point), please update them to use the V2 API immediately. [1] https://review.opendev.org/q/hashtag:%22remove-manila-api-v1%22+(status:ope… Regards, carloss
