Hello Everyone,
Below is the progress on "Drop Python 2.7 Support" at end of R-6 week.
Schedule: https://governance.openstack.org/tc/goals/selected/ussuri/drop-py27.html#schedule
Highlights:
========
* This is very close to mark as complete.
* We merged many of charm repo patches and few more projects.
* Few ansible repo failing on centos7 and waiting for migration on centos8

** In progress:
*** Openstack Charms - Most of them merged, few failing on func job. debugging.
*** Openstackansible - In-progress. centos7 jobs are failing on few projects.
** Waiting from projects team to know the status:
*** Openstack-Helm (Helm charts for OpenStack services)
Disclaimer: I am not a part of the openstack-helm team/community in the full sense of it,
so these are my personal thoughts on the OpenStack-Helm vs Py3
OpenStack-Helm is a bit odd here:
- it does not have stable branches
- it has single (very ancient, 3 years ago) tag of 0.1.0
- it still supports (as in deploys on CI) Ocata
Given community goal of "Python3 first" was targeting and completed in Stein, I don't think that openstack-helm should drop support of Python2 in their startup/readiness/liveness and other scripts unless they are willing to drop support of OpenStack releases earlier that Stein and demand images built on Py3 exclusively - and AFAICT they don't.
Best regards,
Pavlo.

Phase-3 status:
This is audit and requirement repo work which is not started yet. I will start the audit in parallel to finishing the pending things listed above.
How you can help:
==============
- Review the patches. Push the patches if I missed any repo.
