[watcher][election][ptl] Douglas Viroel PTL candidacy for 2026.2
by Douglas Viroel 18 Feb '26

18 Feb '26

Hi all, I would like to announce my candidacy for Watcher PTL for the 2026.2 (Hibiscus) cycle. I started contributing to OpenStack during the Stein cycle in Manila project where I still assist with patch reviews, depending on the demand. Starting at 2025.1 release, I have been a Watcher contributor and maintainer, working with other contributors to revive the project and tackle many of the existing technical debts. In 2025.2 I started the effort to remove Eventlet from Watcher and in 2026.1, working as tact-sig, have been refactoring our CI, including our stable branches, to properly test patches in both check and gate pipelines. For the 2026.2 cycle, these are some of the priorities that I plan to focus on: Testing and CI/CD Coverage Improvements: * Support the implementation of new integration test in Watcher Dashboard * Expand test coverage for features, datasources, and/or integrations that remain untested in CI (e.g.: Audit Scope feature) * Start the effort on adding functional tests to Watcher * Continue improvements to check/gate pipelines for master and stable branches Scalability and Availability: * Support for osprofiler in Watcher to enable performance analysis at scale * Performance analysis in Action Plan parallelization OpenStack SDK Migration: * Support the migration effort started in 2026.1 to modernize the remaining integrations Eventlet Removal: * Make native threads the default thread mode in 2026.2 * Address performance gaps when running with native threading * Prepare for Eventlet deprecation in 2027.1 Thank you for your consideration.

[OSSA-2026-002] OpenStack Nova: calls qemu-img without format restrictions for resize (CVE-2026-24708)
by Jeremy Stanley 17 Feb '26

17 Feb '26

========================================================================= OSSA-2026-002: Nova calls qemu-img without format restrictions for resize ========================================================================= :Date: January 17, 2026 :CVE: CVE-2026-24709 Affects ~~~~~~~ - Nova: <30.2.2, >=31.0.0 <31.2.1, >=32.0.0 <32.1.1 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan Smith from Red Hat reported a vulnerability in nova. By writing a malicious QCOW header to a root or ephemeral disk and then triggering a resize, a user may convince Nova's flat image backend to call qemu-img without a format restriction resulting in an unsafe image resize operation that could destroy data on the host system. Only compute nodes using the Flat image backend (usually configured with use_cow_images=False) are affected.

Fw: Zuul8.0 is not posting logs url into Opendev review commit
by Vasudevan, Senthil 16 Feb '26

16 Feb '26

Hello Team, We recently upgraded our CI environment from Zuul 3 to Zuul 8. Post that Opendev stopped depicting cutom github url that is log_url: We come to know that Zuul 8 onwards the account used for the integration of opendev gerrit and local zuul should have reviewer access to post comment back into commits. Would you please suggest any workaround or solution available to overcome it. Regards, Senthil V ________________________________ From: Vasudevan, Senthil Sent: Friday, February 6, 2026 5:31 PM To: zuul-discuss(a)lists.zuul-ci.org <zuul-discuss(a)lists.zuul-ci.org> Subject: Zuul8.0 is not posting logs url into Opendev review commit Hello Team, We have Zuul CI servers for HPE Cinder and Manilia drivers. We had Zuul 3.0 version earlier that posted external logs URL successfully back into Opendev gerrit. Once we upgraded the Zuul to 8.0 version, the URL is not posted to Opendev review commits. Looks the account used for Zuul and Opendev integration(http credentials are used for the integration) needs reviewer permission for Zuul version 8 and above. So please let me know whether that is mandatory to have reviewer access and if there are any workaround to post the URL to Opendev gerrit. Thanks, Senthil V

Hello Everyone! The next OpenInfra PTG[1] will take place April 20-24, 2026 and registration for the event is now open[2]! For those new to the community, or perhaps just need the reminder, the PTG is a semi-annual event where project teams come together to hash out important details for the next six-ish months during a concentrated set of meetings that often include code sprints, bug fixing, design discussion, and cross project collaboration. To sign your team up, you must complete the survey[3] by March 1st at 7:00 UTC. If your team is not interested in participating, there is no need to fill out the survey. The contact information (email and preferably also IRC nickname) in the form will be used to share important details with moderators about team signup and further logistics. To ensure you receive all communications please double check and submit *ACCURATE* information! If you are not on IRC, please get on the OFTC network[4] and join #openinfra-events as much of the coordination for the event will be done in the #openinfra-events channel. You are also encouraged to familiarize yourself with the PTGBot documentation[5] as well. If you have any questions, please reach out to ptg(a)openinfra.org! Information about signing up for time slots will be sent to moderators shortly after the team signup deadline. -Kendall (diablo_rojo) [1] PTG Site: https://openinfra.org/ptg/ [2] PTG Registration: https://ptg.openinfra.org/ [3] Team Survey: https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/apr2026_ptg_survey [4] Setup IRC: https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/irc.html [5] PTGBot README: https://opendev.org/openstack/ptgbot/src/branch/master/README.rst
