Hi everyone,

The TC held it’s monthly meeting on the 8th of August 2019 and this email provides a summary of that meeting

Jeremy Stanley (fungi) was added as TC Liaison for the Image Encryption pop-up team and their proposed resolution on proper retirement procedures was approved and merged.

Swift is now working in Python 3 and inside DevStack so this puts us in a really good place to continue with Python 3 efforts in Swift.

Graham Hayes (mugsie) is currently working on the code for the proposal bot so that when we cut a branch, it automatically pushes up a patch to add the ‘python3 jobs’ for that series.

Thierry Carrez (ttx) organized the milestone 2 forum meeting with TC members. We have Jim Rollenhagen (jroll) and maybe Graham Hayes (mugsie) volunteering for the programming committee.

The proposal for making goal selection a two-step process has been needing reviews for a while so I encourage the community to have a look at it as well as other TC members.

We also talked about who’s attending the Shanghai Summit (here’s the Etherpad with the list of who’s going: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/PVG-TC-PTG) and who will be attending the leadership meeting. We think that everybody already on the TC going to PTG will be there but we’ll only be able to know the exact number at the end of the election, so towards the end of September.

We’re also thinking about starting a “Large Scale” SIG so people could collaborate in tackling more of the scaling issues together. Thierry Carrez (ttx) and I will be looking into that by mentioning the idea to LINE and YahooJapan (as some perspective at-scale operators)to see what they think and also make a list of organizations that could be interested. Rico Lin (ricolin) will also update the SIG guidelines documents to make the whole process easier and Jim Rollenhagen (jroll) will try and bring this up at Verizon Media.

Finally, we talked about an issue regarding CI Maintainers associated with Cinder not maintaining their systems by not migrating them to Python 3.7. Half of those drivers will be deprecated since they still run on Python 2.7, which won’t be supported by the next ‘U’ release. Jay Bryant tried contacting them all individually but most didn’t answer (a lot of contact info isn’t up to date). If you know someone who maintains a Cinder driver in-tree, please have them double-check on this.

I hope that I covered most of what we discussed, for the full meeting logs, you can find them here:

Thanks for tuning in!
