Hello Stackers, We're three weeks away from Milestone-2 of the 2024.2 (Dalmatian) release cycle [1]. Teams are pursuing mid-cycle meetings and design specification freezes in the next couple of weeks. I'd like to begin this week's recap with a shoutout to the TaCT SIG and especially Dr. Jens Harbott (frickler) for helping us with our PyPi cleanup efforts [2]. Apart from this; we had very few governance changes in the past week. I want to take the opportunity to remind you about our gate hygiene efforts. As a contributor, if the continuous integration system (Zuul) is upset with your change, please avoid re-testing with a simple "recheck" comment (or even a comment like "recheck, unrelated failure"). We're trying to isolate unstable CI tests, and if you flag specific failing tests or infrastructure issues, we might be able to address them better. === Weekly Meeting === Last week's meeting was short, and was held simultaneously on Video [3] and IRC [4]. We discussed adding a second maintainer account on all OpenStack packages on PyPi that would be able to push package updates and make project metadata changes (such as adding/removing maintainers). We'll be incorporating this new account soon. We also spoke about graduating Skyline from the list of "emerging projects" [5]. The project team guide has a lot of criteria to create and maintain projects in the OpenStack way; these criteria however, are applied subjectively and are flexible to accommodate specific situations, such as not requiring weekly meetings or formal presence at the PTG. These activities are encouraged. Skyline's contributors are small in number, but have welcomed new contributors. Our recent user surveys have shown that deployments have started adopting Skyline; and installer/configuration management services are seeing feature requests to include Skyline. So the TC feels we need to take this project off of the "emerging" projects list. We volunteered Dr. Jens (frickler) to assess the situation and coordinate this. Our next weekly meeting is tomorrow (June 11th 2024) at 1800 UTC, exclusively on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel. Please see the agenda at [6]. Remember, you can always propose topics to this agenda; and if you're trying to bring up something on short notice, I'll make the attempt to leave some time aside for Open Discussion. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== Appoint ChunYang Wu as PTL of Trove | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/920462 ==== Open for review/discussion ==== Remove Eventlet From Openstack | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/902585 Add TC liaison in DPL model implementation | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/917516 Update criteria for the inactive projects to become active again | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/921500 Update to include docs and miscellaneuos repos for AC status | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/915021 Thank you very much for reading!
