Definitely interested and flexible with scheduling. Bi-weekly might be preferred due to other obligations. -- James Denton Principal Architect Rackspace Private Cloud - OpenStack james.denton@rackspace.com From: Julia Kreger <juliaashleykreger@gmail.com> Date: Tuesday, October 29, 2024 at 9:56 AM To: openstack-discuss <openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org> Subject: [ironic][networking] Interest in starting a baremetal networking working group? CAUTION: This message originated externally, please use caution when clicking on links or opening attachments! Greetings folks, During the PTG this past week, the Ironic community including developers and operators reached a conclusion that we need to start back up a networking focused working group to try and move the current state of capabilities forward when bare metal machines are involved. Specifically, management of physical switch connections to bare metal *and* programming DPU/IPU devices for networking attachments. As we're all quite aware, it is a complex topic with many different threads. Given resurgent interest and a mutual desire to find some better solutions, it just makes sense to have regular discussions. That being said we need to identify an ideal day of week, frequency, and preferred time. I'd recommend sometime between 1500 UTC and 1800 UTC. Preferably a Tuesday or Wednesday. Would every two weeks work? Or would folks prefer to meet weekly to try and build the most possible velocity through regular interaction? Thoughts? -Julia
