Hello nova contributors and other stakeholders.
As you are aware, nova maintainers will be sparser than usual at the ussuri PTG. For that reason, and also because it promotes better inclusion anyway, I'd like us to do the majority of decision making via the mailing list. The PTG is still a useful place to talk through design ideas, but this will give those not attending a voice in the final direction.
To that end, I call your attention to the etherpad [1]. As usual, list your topics there. And if your topic is something for which you only need (or wish to start with) in-person discussions (e.g. "I'd like to do $thing but could use some help figuring out $how"), you're done.
But if what you're shooting for is discussion leading to some kind of decision, like...
- My spec has been stalled because we can't decide among N different
approaches; we need to reach a consensus.
- My feature is really important; can we please prioritize it for
ussuri?
...then in addition to putting your topic on the etherpad, please initiate a (separate) thread on this mailing list, including [nova][ptg] in your subject line.
Some of these topics may be resolved before the PTG itself. Others may be discussed in Shanghai. However, even if a consensus is reached in person, expect that decision to be tentative pending closure of the ML thread.
Now as the PTG is over (for nova at least as we finished a bit earlier) Sylvain and me will start sending out summary mails about the topics we discussed to create a place to further discuss the topics with the rest of the nova team. The etherpad[1] contains most of the agreements we reached during the discussions but of course none of them are final as we did not have a core quorum on the PTG.
Thanks for everyone who contributed in any way to the PTG discussions!
Cheers, gibi
Thanks, efried
