Hi Everyone, I'm reaching out with a quick recap to the recent OpenStack Ops Radio[1] Hour gathering, which we had on April 24th as part of the PTG. We covered the following topics: - OpenStack observability = We ended up not having the folks attending who were interested in this discussion, it'll be discussed at a later meeting - Topics follow up on the joint PTG session with the OpenStack TC (https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/apr2026-ptg-os-tc-operators) + Communication channels that people use to get information about Ops gatherings and other news + Contributing to OpenStack * Information is mostly in documents, trainings are very rarely running * Reviewer attention (bug reports or code changes) can be hard to grab * Governance model + Documentation * Optimizing for search engines on finding information for specific versions of OpenStack easier * How some Ops-focused guides might not be as useful as they seemed when they got created If you would like to read and catch up on notes or add agenda items to discuss, you can do so in this etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack_ops_radiohour You can find the meeting recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyIGrzVSnE4 Topics for the next meeting include: - OpenStack Observability practices is a potential topic - What else do you want to talk about? __The next Ops Radio Hour is scheduled to happen on May 29th, 2026 at 1300UTC,__ and will happen as part of the upcoming Project Teams Gathering (PTG) What further topics should we add to the agenda? See you on the call on May 29th, 2026! Bets Regards, Ildikó [1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Operations/Meetups
