Hello Everyone,

Please find the week's R-16 updates on 'Migrate RBAC Policy Format from JSON to YAML' community-wide goals.

Tracking: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/migrate-policy-format-from-json-to-yaml

Gerrit Topic: https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22policy-json-to-yaml%22+(status:open%20OR%20status:merged)

Progress:
=======
* Projects completed: 5
* Projects left to merge the patches: 25
* Projects left to push the patches: 2 (horizon and Openstackansible)
* Projects do not need any work: 17

Updates:
=======
* I have pushed the patches for all the required service projects.

** Because of many services gate is already broken for lower constraints job, these patches might not be green in the
test results. I request projects to fix the gate so that we can merge this goal work before m-2.

** There are many project tests where CONF object was not fully initialized before the policy is init. This was working till now
as policy init did not use the CONF object but oslo_policy 3.6.0 onwards it needs fully initialized CONF object during init only.

** Aodh work for this goal is blocked because it needs oslo_policy 3.6.0 but gnocchi is capped for oslo_policy 3.4.0 [1]

* Horizon and Openstackansible work is pending to use/deploy the YAML formatted policy file. I will start exploring this
next week or so.
