Hello Stackers, We're 18 weeks away from the coordinated release for 2025.1 ("Epoxy") [1]. We're beginning a period of low activity due to year-end holidays across the world. Last week, the TC didn't merge any new governance proposals; however, several are currently in progress. === Weekly Meeting === The TC met in OFTC's #openstack-tc IRC channel on 2024-11-19 [2]. We discussed a series of global requirements upper constraint bumps that were committed and the ensuing CI flakiness. We appreciated the effort to proactively update dependencies to their latest versions earlier in the release cycle so we can have more time to test and stabilize OpenStack software. Sometimes, these failures may interrupt other project priorities. The best way we can help is if project teams identify a relatively quick-running and stable integration job to run against changes to the global requirements repository. The TC and OpenDev administrators worked with Launchpad administrators to regain control of trackers belonging to the Watcher project team. It was noted that Launchpad trackers for any project should not be owned/administered by individuals. Instead, there must be a Launchpad team driving all trackers associated with an OpenStack initiative, and "openstack-admins" must own this team. This approach ensures the sustainability of project teams and protects projects from the impact of changing individual priorities. We also briefly discussed the "eventlet-removal" goal proposal. The goal document is being rewritten [3] to simplify what is being done and the timelines we're aiming for. I'd love for the community to take a look at this change and review it. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is today, 2024-11-25, at 1800 UTC in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel. The agenda for this meeting is in our meeting wiki [4]. I hope you're able to join us. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open for Review ==== Add Cinder Huawei charm | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/867588 Rework the initial goal proposal as suggested by people | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/931254 Propose to select the eventlet-removal community goal | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934936 Resolve to adhere to non-biased language | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934907 Add ansible-role-httpd repo to OSA-owned projects | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935694 Retire Murano/Senlin/Sahara OpenStack-Ansible roles | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935677 Add ansible-role-httpd repo to OSA-owned projects | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935694 ==== Merged ==== Fix doc job for pillow 11.0.0 | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935967 Add Ubuntu Noble migration goal tracking etherpad | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935461 === How to Contact the TC === You can reach the TC in several ways: - Email: Send an email with the tag [tc] on this mailing list. - IRC: Ping us using the 'tc-members' keyword on the #openstack-tc IRC channel on OFTC. - Weekly Meetings: Join us at our weekly meeting.
