[all][tc] What's happening in Technical Committee: summary 2023 Feb 3: Reading: 5 min
by Ghanshyam Mann 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Hello Everyone, Here is this week's summary of the Technical Committee activities. 1. TC Meetings: ============ * We had this week's meeting on Feb 1. Most of the meeting discussions are summarized in this email. This was a monthly video call and the recording is available @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU4CKkz2Fkc and summary logs are available @ https://meetings.opendev.org/meetings/tc/2023/tc.2023-02-01-16.00.log.html * The next TC weekly meeting will be on Feb 8 Wed at 16:00 UTC, Feel free to add the topic to the agenda[1] by Feb 7. 2. What we completed this week: ========================= * None for this week 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[2]. Open Reviews ----------------- * Four open reviews for ongoing activities[3]. PTG/Forum planning ------------------------- The TC started the etherpad[4] to collect the topics for next vPTG in March, feel free to add the topics there. Defining 2023.2 cycle testing runtime --------------------------------------------- It's time to define the testing runtime for the next cycle (2023.2). I have pushed the patch[5], feel free to review and add feedback. For quick ref: below are the changes from the 2023.1 cycle testing runtime: * Remove the additional ubuntu version 20.04 from testing which was added in the 2023.1 testing runtime because we bumped the testing version from 20.04 to 22.04 in the 2023.1 cycle. From 2023.1 to 2023.2, there is no major version change in testing so we do not need to do any additional version testing. * Add Rocky Linux 9 in Best Effort testing * With that bumping the python minversion to py3.9 which is Debian 11 default. 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[6] to define it for the 2023 calendar year which is nothing but continuing last year's opportunities. Feel free to 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 [7]. There is a discussion also going on in ML[8]. In this weekly call, TC discussed it further and there is some improvement in the cleanup process. To do this cleanup smoothly, instead of removing them directly, it is better to notify them first. As PyPi does not tell about the email addresses of additional maintainers, the PTL/team is the best person to know their email addresses (if they are old contributors). JayF will be documenting[9] the 'how to remove PyPI maintainers/owner access' and what additional steps to be done by PTL. Basically In step#1, along with the audit, PTL needs to reach out to their additional maintainers and ask them to i) remove themself as PyPi maintainers ii) transfer the ownership to 'openstackci' if they are 'owner' in PyPi. 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[10]. Project updates ------------------- * Add Cinder Huawei charm[11] * Add the woodpecker charm to Openstack charms[12] 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[13]. 2. Weekly meeting: The Technical Committee conduct a weekly meeting every Thursday 15:00 UTC [14] 3.

[nova] instance not recoverable when its image backend got deleted
by hai wu 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

For an Openstack VM instance, if its backing image got deleted already, and this VM instance was already hard rebooted, and went into `Error` state due to `Image not found` error. Is it possible to recover this VM stucking in this bad state? I tried to create a vm snapshot, and then try to rebuild this VM using the newly created vm snapshot, and it kept failing. Regards, Hai

[all][stable][ptl] Propose to EOL Rocky series
by Elõd Illés 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Hi, Similarly like the Queens branch EOL proposal [1] I would like to propose to transition every project's stable/rocky to End of Life: - gates are mostly broken - minimal number of activity can be seen on this branch - some core projects already transitioned their stable/rocky to EOL recently (like ironic, neutron, nova) - gate job definitions are still using the old, legacy zuul syntax - gate jobs are based on Ubuntu Xenial, which is also beyond its public maintenance window date and hard to maintain Based on the above, if there won't be any project who wants to keep open their stable/rocky, then I'll start the process of EOL'ing Rocky stable series as a whole. If anyone has any objection then please respond to this mail. Thanks, Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-stable / #openstack-release [1] https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-October/031030…

[release] Release countdown for week R-6, Feb 06 - 10
by Herve Beraud 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Development Focus ----------------- Work on libraries should be wrapping up, in preparation for the various library-related deadlines coming up. Now is a good time to make decisions on deferring feature work to the next development cycle in order to be able to focus on finishing already-started feature work. General Information ------------------- We are now getting close to the end of the cycle, and will be gradually freezing feature work on the various deliverables that make up the OpenStack release. This coming week is the deadline for general libraries (except client libraries): their last feature release needs to happen before "Non-client library freeze" on Feb 09. Only bugfixes 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 examples, see the "branches" section here: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/pike/… https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/antel… In the next weeks we will have deadlines for: * Client libraries (think python-*client libraries), which need to have their last feature release before "Client library freeze" (February 16) * Deliverables following a cycle-with-rc model (that would be most services), which observe a Feature freeze on that same date, February 16. Any feature addition beyond that date should be discussed on the mailing-list and get PTL approval. As we are getting to the point of creating stable/2023.1 branches, this would be a good point for teams to review membership in their $project-stable-maint groups. Once the stable/2023.1 branches are cut for a repo, the ability to approve any necessary backports into those branches for 2023.1 Antelope will be limited to the members of that stable team. If there are any questions about stable policy or stable team membership, please reach out in the #openstack-stable channel (and ping elodilles). Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Non-client library freeze: February 09 (R-6 week) Client library freeze: February 16 (R-5 week) Antelope-3 milestone: February 16 (R-5 week) Cycle Highlights Due: February 23 (R-4 week) 2023.1 Antelope final release: March 22 -- Hervé Beraud Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/ https://twitter.com/4383hberaud

02 Feb '23

Just a quick heads up for anyone who missed the minutes[0] from today's meeting, I've signed us up for the upcoming virtual PTG (March 27-31) and created a pad[1] for brainstorming discussion topics. If you plan to join us, or participate in the PTG more generally, don't forget to register[2]! Also, a reminder, please don't forget to fill out the surveys[3] about rescheduling our IRC meeting. I'll be reviewing the results and determining next steps after 2023-02-09 (one week from today).

Hello, We would like to make some improvements on OSProfiler but don’t see a lot of activity on it. Actually it looks like the CI has been broken for a while now. I’m currently working on fixing it, any help would be gratefully appreciated but I will tackle that for sure ;) Besides that I wanted to understand the current status of the project? Thanks, s.

Masakari PTL non-candidacy
by Radosław Piliszek 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

Dears, I am writing this to confirm my non-candidacy for the Masakari PTL role for the next cycle. It has been a great adventure with OpenStack projects in general but my career is calling me in another direction. That said, <fingers crossed>, I might have some ties to the broader OpenDev ecosystem in the long run. Kind regards, Radek -yoctozepto
