Hello Stackers, It's been a quiet-yet-busy week for the OpenStack Technical Committee as we approach the tail end of the 2024.2 (Dalmatian) release cycle [1]. We're 8 weeks away from the release date (2024-10-02) and three weeks away from the feature code freeze across many OpenStack code repositories (2024-08-29). If you are a maintainer of an OpenStack repository with any Zuul jobs, I'd encourage you to check if your repository is flagged with any configuration errors [2]. It's possible you're referencing a nodeset or a code repository that isn't there anymore (for example, CentOS-8-Stream was recently deleted [3]). Or, it's possible that you have deprecated syntax. There's a lot of prior art if you would like to fix your Zuul configuration. If you're unsure what to do, please send an email to this list or chat with a Zuul maintainer on OFTC's #opendev channel. The nomination period for PTL positions and the OpenStack TC begins next week (2024-08-14). Election officials will be sharing more context over the next week. If you are a PTL or a member of the TC, motivate individuals to take on these leadership roles and support their enthusiasm. === Weekly Meeting === The TC had a productive meeting over IRC last week [4]. We discussed phased updates to the eventlet removal proposal [5] and the health of the CI system over the past week. Several contributors helped land CVE fixes in the past couple of weeks, which required bumping up package constraints within older stable branches. The removal of CentOS-8-Stream nodesets and the Linaro arm64 region from Zuul caused some gate instability; the Infrastructure team will be glad to assist anyone who's triaging failures caused by these actions. The TC noted the need to delay the retirement of "kuryr-kubernetes" until the Tacker project team has stopped relying on it. The next meeting is on Tuesday (2024-08-06), and it will be simultaneously hosted on Zoom and IRC. Information to join this meeting and the meeting's agenda are on our Wiki page [6]. I hope you'll be able to join us there. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== Follow up on the affiliation diversity handling | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/923876 Add os-test-images under glance | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/925044 [follow up] Fix typos in the eventlet removal proposal | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/924944 ==== Open for Review/Discussion ==== Update criteria for inactive projects to become active again | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/921500 Inactive state extensions: Monasca | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/923919 === Upcoming Events === 2024-08-06: OpenInfra Board Meeting: https://board.openinfra.dev/meetings/2024-08-06 2024-08-12: Call for Proposals due for the OpenInfra Days NA [8] 2024-08-14: Nominations open for 2025.1 OpenStack PTL+TC elections 2024-08-24: Open Infra Days, Vietnam: https://2024.vietopeninfra.org/ 2024-08-29: Dalmatian-3 milestone 2024-09-03: OpenInfra Summit Asia, Suwon Thank you very much for reading!
