[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-8)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 04 Feb '25

04 Feb '25

Hello Stackers, We're 8 weeks away from the coordinated 2025.1 ("Epoxy") release date [1]. On Feb 5th, election officials will begin accepting nominations for Project Team Leads for 41 teams for the 2025.2 ("Flamingo") release cycle, alongside 5 seats on the OpenStack Technical Committee with a one-year term. Together, these individuals form the indispensable leadership of this community. We seek to ensure that our community is cohesive, inclusive, and a level playing field where all voices are heard and anyone can rise to leadership positions [2]. This is an opportunity that I'd encourage you to capitalize on. Please see the election website [3] for details on how to submit your candidacy. In the news this week, the OpenStack Technical Committee resolved to include artifacts of the Disaster Recovery service ("Freezer") in the upcoming 2025.1 release [4]. We also merged a change to create a new DevStack plugin for Prometheus under the QA team. This repository will be useful for working with the OpenStack Resource Optimization service ("Watcher") in development environments. The project team driving the Watcher project also asserted their distributed project leadership for the 2025.2 release cycle. Members of the OpenStack community also participated in FOSDEM 2025 in Brussels. Amy Marrich (spotz) and Slawek Kaplonski (slaweq) from the OpenStack TC were in attendance. The release team ended and deleted the "unmaintained/victoria" branch on most OpenStack repositories this week. We have volunteers who have stepped up to maintain the branch in roughly 70 repositories for now [5]. === Weekly Meeting === The OpenStack TC meeting last week was brief [6]. We discussed governance changes highlighted below and nudged the change to begin closing old, unmaintained code branches [5]. We checked in on project teams that had adopted the "distributed project leadership" model in the current release cycle and encouraged teams to replace inactive liaisons or revert to the PTL model for the next release cycle. Some project team meetings have yet to resume since the end-of-year holidays, and getting feedback from each liaison has been a challenge. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is today, 2025-02-04, at 1800 UTC. This meeting will be held simultaneously on Video (Zoom) and IRC (OFTC's #openstack-tc channel). Please find the agenda and Zoom link in the meeting wiki [7]. I look forward to seeing you there. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Adopt DPL model for Watcher 2025.2 | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/940167 - Add devstack-plugin-prometheus repo to Quality Assurance repos | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939953 - Add resolution for late Freezer release | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939792 ==== Open for Review ==== - Define 2025 upstream investment opportunities | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939507 - Reset the DPL model for the Oslo project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939485 - Add Watcher project update liaison | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/940168 - Retire qdrouterd role | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/938193 - Resolve to adhere to non-biased language | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934907 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-02-05: Nominations open for 2025.2 TC/PTL Elections: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ - 2025-02-28: 2025.1 ("Epoxy") Feature Freeze and Release Milestone 3 [1] - 2025-03-06: SCALE 2025 + OpenInfra Days NA (https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22x) Thank you very much for reading!

Hi, We are looking to upgrade Swift from Ussuri. Is it necessary to pass through Victoria, Wallaby, Xena ... or can we directly go to a later version (say) Zed? regards Mark

[watcher] core team expansion
by Sean Mooney 04 Feb '25

04 Feb '25

Hi everyone, As you may be aware a number of us from Redhat have been trying to revitalize the Watcher project. To enable that one of the changes that we previously discussed on the mailing list and ptg was the expansion of the core team. https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/r.79644f8f3cd04686c4f45c10aa35d8ac#L46 https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack… In November the initial phase of that proposal was completed and I took an action to follow up in Q1 to see what steps are needed to rebuild a healthy core team. based on the activity of the last 90 days and the progress of work I think it is time to expand the core teams once again to enable effective maintenance and development of watcher https://openstack.biterg.io/app/dashboards#/view/95487340-6762-11e9-a198-67…:'Gerrit%20Approvals%20panel%20by%20Bitergia',filters:!(('$state':(store:appState),meta:(alias:Bots,disabled:!f,index:gerrit,key:author_bot,negate:!t,params:(query:!t),type:phrase),query:(match:(author_bot:(query:!t,type:phrase)))),('$state':(store:appState),meta:(alias:!n,disabled:!f,index:gerrit,key:project,negate:!f,params:(query:watcher),type:phrase),query:(match_phrase:(project:watcher)))),fullScreenMode:!f,options:(darkTheme:!f,hidePanelTitles:!f,useMargins:!t),query:(language:lucene,query:''),timeRestore:!f,title:'Gerrit%20Approvals',viewMode:view) tiny url version of ^ https://tinyurl.com/439wzbdk https://www.stackalytics.io/?module=watcher-group the current core teams are as follows * watcher-core https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/77cd139bd57514e98e5e694a82f7e261b47… * watcher-dashboard-core https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/bcc8588732437ceea3533249313e6e96148… * watcher-specs-core https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/747af616eb8748aee5b17d9493f9ebbc49e… * watcher-tempest-core https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/09a91d8e24af9ce44b80062c4851a1d2fa3… starting in order watcher-core: https://tinyurl.com/2p8sr7u4 https://www.stackalytics.io/?module=opendev.org/openstack/watcher - add Marios Andreou - add Douglas Viroel Marios and Doug both have past experience as core reviews in other OpenStack projects (triple-o and Manilla), over the last 90 days, they have engaged in reviews of bug fixes and the development of the new Prometheus data source. watcher-dashboard-core: https://tinyurl.com/4259h8nz https://www.stackalytics.io/?module=opendev.org/openstack/watcher-dashboard - add Marios Andreou - add Douglas Viroel as with Watcher itself Doug and Marios have spent time looking at the open review for the watcher-dashboard. watcher-spec-core: is tricky as we have effective only had one spec this cycle that was written by Marios with some minor patches for ci. As watcher core is a member of watcher-spec-core, Marios and Doug will inherit review rights on the specs repo. At this time I do not see a need to make any other changes to the group membership. watcher-tempest-core: https://tinyurl.com/4nbctef8 https://www.stackalytics.io/?module=opendev.org/openstack/watcher-tempest-p… - add Chandan Kumar - add Douglas Viroel - remove Martin Kopec As many of you may know Martin has taken up a new role in Redhat outside of OpenStack and will no longer be working directly on OpenStack. Over the last 90 days, Martin and Gmann have modernized the tempest plugin significantly paying down much of the tech debt. I want to thank them for the efforts they put in to help revive Watcher this cycle and if they return to the OpenStack community in the future I will gladly welcome them back. In their stead, I am proposing adding Chandan and Doug to augment the existing core group. As agreed in the Watcher team meeting earlier today we will review this mail thread in the next Watcher IRC meeting next week. I would like to invite others to provide feedback on this proposal over the next week. In the next PTG, I will also raise the composition of the core teams for discussion. It is my hope that with these additions we will have at least 3 active reviews on all deliverables of the watcher project mitigating the current bus factor and accelerating development. Regards Sean.

The results of the poll showed an interest in having both Stream 9 and 10 versions for the Epoxy release. Due to limited resources, we are looking for volunteers in the community who would be interested in learning to build the RPMs and help maintain them. Please reach out if you are interested in participating in this effort. Amy (spotz)

[ironic]About the OS supported by Diskimage-builder
by Junya Noguchi (Fujitsu) 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

To whom it may concern. My name is Junya Noguchi. I have some questions about the supported OS for Diskimage-builder operation. Please respond. References https://docs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent-builder/latest/admin/dib.html Does it mean that the OS that says "work but receive only limited testing and support" works but is not supported? References https://docs.openstack.org/diskimage-builder/latest/ This document describes RHEL and other operating systems that are not supported in the previous question. Are these operating systems supported? Also, are there any plans to support more operating systems in the future? Best regards, Junya Noguchi

[neutron] neutron-core/networking-ovn-core consolidation
by Brian Haley 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Hello Neutrinos: I noticed the other day we still have the networking-ovn-core group [0] included in the neutron-core group [1], a left-over from when we merged the OVN code into the Neutron repo in Ussuri. Most people in the networking-ovn-core group no longer contribute to Neutron, except for one - Terry Wilson (otherwiseguy). In order to cleanup a little I'm going to consolidate things and add Terry as a member of the neutron-core group, and remove the import. Since he has basically been operating as a Neutron core reviewer already for years, I don't think we need to vote on this. So welcome officially Terry! -Brian, Neutron PTL [0] https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/ecdeda6cb5657af51f20b282cd0525cb7e6… [1] https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/38

[glance][security][vmt] propose Cyril Roelandt for glance coresec
by Brian Rosmaita 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

I'd like to propose an update to the Glance Core Security Contacts team [0], which handles embargoed security issues for Glance project deliverables. The OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team prefers to keep the project core security teams small (because otherwise it kind of defeats the point of having embargoed private security issues). Thus, the changes I propose will keep the glance-coresec team at its current size: Add: Cyril Roelandt (croelandt on IRC). Cyril has been a Glance core since June 2021 and is a thorough and respected reviewer and developer; he also organizes the recurring Glance Review Party. Remove: Erno Kuvaja (jokke on IRC). Erno has been focusing his time away from Glance. On behalf of the Glance project team, I thank Erno for his past service on glance-coresec, and note that Erno continues to participate in the Glance project as a "regular" glance core. If you have any concerns about this change, please communicate them to me or Pranali Deore (Glance PTL) before 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 29 January 2025. cheers, brian [0] https://launchpad.net/~glance-coresec

[manila] driver_handles_share_servers not recognized as boolean
by Francesco Di Nucci 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

Hi all, I'm running OpenStack 2024.1 Caracal, configured through Puppet, and I'm having an issue with Manila. /etc/manila/manila.conf contains the line "driver_handles_share_servers = True", but setup fails, "/var/log/manila/share.log" reports that "Config opt 'driver_handles_share_servers' has improper value - 'None'. Please define it as boolean." Has anyone encountered this? Where else should I define this? Thanks in advance -- Francesco Di Nucci System Administrator Compute & Networking Service, INFN Naples Email: francesco.dinucci(a)na.infn.it
