Hello everyone,

I thought it would be good to have a quick recap of the various goal proposals.

Project clean-up

Adrian and Tobias Rydberg have volunteered to champion the goal. There has also been some productive discussion around the approaches detailed in the etherpad [0]. At this point is it safe to assume we've come to a conclusion on the proposed approach? If so, I think the next logical step would be to do a gap analysis on what the proposed approach would mean work-wise for all projects. Note, Assaf Muller brought the approach Neutron takes to my attention [1] and I wanted to highlight this here since it establishes a template for us to follow, or at least look at. Note, Neutron's approach is client-based, which might not be orthogonal with the client goal. Just something to keep in mind if those two happen to be accepted for the same release.

Moving legacy clients to python-openstackclient

Artem has done quite a bit of pre-work here [2], which has been useful in understanding the volume of work required to complete this goal in its entirety. I suggest we look for seams where we can break this into more consumable pieces of work for a given release.

For example, one possible goal would be to work on parity with python-openstackclient and openstacksdk. A follow-on goal would be to move the legacy clients. Alternatively, we could start to move all the project clients logic into python-openstackclient, and then have another goal to implement the common logic gaps into openstacksdk. Arriving at the same place but using different paths. The approach still has to be discussed and proposed. I do think it is apparent that we'll need to break this up, however.

Healthcheck middleware

There is currently no volunteer to champion for this goal. The first iteration of the work on the oslo.middleware was updated [3], and a gap analysis was started on the mailing lists [4].

If you want to get involved in this goal, don't hesitate to answer on the ML thread there.

Just a reminder that we would like to have all potential goals proposed for review in openstack/governance by the middle of this month, giving us 6 weeks to hash out details in Gerrit if we plan to have the goals merged by the end of March. This timeframe should give us 4 weeks to prepare any discussions we'd like to have in-person pertaining to those goals.

Thanks for the time,

Lance

Great news!

Do you need any help to get started there?
