Hello Stackers, I hope you've been enjoying the PTG Summaries posted to this mailing list. As we embark on follow-ups, we have the next 23 weeks to build the 2025.2 "Flamingo" release of OpenStack [1]. Last week, the OpenStack TC didn't merge any significant governance changes. The update this week is short, as we are building up the TC's tracker for activities during this release cycle [2]. === Weekly Meeting === The last weekly meeting of the OpenStack TC was held over IRC on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel on 2025-04-15 [3]. We discussed several short-term follow-ups from the Project Teams Gathering from the prior week, including updates to community goals [4][5]. We noted that the 2025 OpenStack User Survey is live [6]. We may be revising some questions and adding new ones to seek feedback and reflect on the community's work over recent releases. We'll also be reflecting on the 2024 User Survey results when they are available. We briefly discussed the structure and organization of the Project Teams Gathering. The feedback collected [7] so far noted that some found the virtual PTG format exhausting due to constant room-switching without breaks. Some suggestions were made, including incorporating breaks between sessions, seeking agendas early, adding informal sessions like “happy hours,” and encouraging unconference-style meetings. Members generally supported using only 50 minutes of each hour to allow time for decompression. A discussion on i18n was deferred to the next meeting to allow more time to review the context and decide on actionable steps. The next weekly meeting of the OpenStack TC is today, 2025-04-22. It will be held over IRC in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel at 1700 UTC. Please note the change in timing — it is an hour earlier than our past meetings. Please find the agenda on the meeting's wiki page [8]. I hope you'll be able to join us there. Any community member can propose topics to this meeting by editing the wiki page. Please be sure to add your IRC nick so we can call upon you during the meeting. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Add aetos to telemetry project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/946744 - Fix Dan Smith's email | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/946960 ==== Open for Review ==== - Retire openstack-helm-infra repo | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/947611 - Deprecate openstack-ansible-tests repo | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/947622 - [resolution] Extend scope of VMT to cover all project teams | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/944817 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-04-29: StackConf https://stackconf.eu/ - 2025-04-29: SCS Hackathon / OpenStack Birthday: https://events.sovereigncloudstack.org/hackathon5-2025/ - 2025-05-13: OpenInfra Board Meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2025-05-22: OpenInfra UG Meetup, Sweden: https://www.meetup.com/openinfra-user-group-sweden/events/306139678/ === 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. - Ping us using the 'tc-members' keyword on the #openstack-tc IRC channel on OFTC. - Join us at our weekly meeting: The Technical Committee meets every week on Tuesdays at 1700 UTC [8].
