Re: [TC][Monasca] Proposal to mark Monasca as an inactive project

4 Jan 2024

      Hi Jay

This is only my interest.
Monasca is a part of my company's services. But there are some high
priorities than keeping's monasca living.

Thanks.

First of all, thank you Hoai-Thu; your email is what the inactivity
process is supposed to solicit!
I agree with Dmitriy for the most part. The one part I'll add -- and note
this isn't official policy, just something that I suspect many TC members
will consider when deciding if Monasca should be considered "active" again,
is the idea of redundancy. If a single person, with no backup, not backed
by a company sponsor or some kind of long-term support guarantee resurrects
the project, we may find ourselves back on this same path in a few months
or a year if you decide to move on as well.
Is your interest personal, or is it part of a larger investment in Monasca
that could be tied to a longer-term support commitment?
I'll also note, there are other paths to ensuring Monasca services
continue to exist, including moving it outside of OpenStack governance.
This would help in removing some of the requirements for activity, quality,
and governance but would also mean losing some of the benefits of OpenStack
governance -- such as this process which shines light on the inactivity of
the project, release automation, or assistance with QA as needed.
Thanks again,
Jay Faulkner

Hi there!
Changes to any OpenStack project should be submitted through a Gerrit.
You can check how to setup a Gerrit account and make your first patch here:
https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/setup-gerrit.html
Regarding maintainer status - normal process for that would be having a
bunch of contributions to the project and nominate yourself as a Project
Team Leader (PTL) during bi-yearly elections [1].
However, since the project in topic is not properly maintained at the
moment and we can't wait for next elections without marking project as
inactive - process might different for such cases.
I think bare minimum would be to get CI of monasca passing and you can
propose patches for that right away. If there won't be any reaction to
these patches from the PTL and active core reviewers in a timely manner, it
should be possible to extend the core reviewers team.
However, I would wait for a TC answer of how they see a potential
solution for the project if you're interested about helping out with it's
maintenance. Overall I believe that we as a community interested in keeping
projects alive and happy to see new ppl stepping up:)

Hi,
Just a quick reminder about Monasca project. It seems that there is
still no any volunteer who would like to work on e.g. fixes for the
project's gate.
Milestone 2 of 2024.1 cycle is just around the corner - it's *Jan 8th* so
if there is anyone interested in keeping Monasca alive and have it released
in *2024.1* then You should start fixing main issues asap.
Just for the record, current stats of the project:

Hello OpenStackers,
...
...
I wanted to close the loop on this -- Monasca was marked as an
inactive
...
project by the Technical Committee. This means if there is no
volunteer to
...
help restore CI to functionality, bring it up to date for the
release, and
...
take ownership of it as PTL before the M-2 milestone, it will become
...
eligible for full retirement by the TC.
...
...
Thank you to Slawek for doing the work to get the statistics to
enable this
...
decision.

previous cycle there wasn't almost any contributions to that

most active contributors in last 180 days were Elod Illes and Dr.
Jens
...
...
...
...
Harbott who were fixing some Zuul configuration issues only.

According to the "Emerging and inactive projects" document [2] if
there
...

will be no volunteers who will step up and want to maintain this
project
...
...
...
...
*before Milestone-2 of the 2024.1 cycle (week of Jan 08 2024)*
...
...
...
...
*there will be no new release of Monasca in the 2024.1 cycle and TC*
...
...
...
...
*will discuss if project should be retired.*
...
...
...
...
So if You are interested in keeping Monasca alive and active,
please reach
...
...
out to the TC to discuss that ASAP. Thx in advance.
