3. Activities In progress: ================== TC Tracker for Yoga cycle ------------------------------ * This etherpad includes the Yoga cycle targets/working items for TC[5]. 3 out of 9 items are completed and many are in progress.

Open Reviews ----------------- * Six open reviews for ongoing activities[6].

Direction on running FIPs goal/jobs ------------------------------------------ As you might have seen the FIPs work from Ade_lee and adding FIPs jobs in the check/gate pipeline which is not stable at this stage. We in TC meeting along with Ade_lee discussed the direction on making jobs stable and until then how we want to run jobs so that we do not overload infra resources with a lot of non-voting/unstable jobs.

We agreed to run those as periodic (and experimental to trigger them manually) to make/check their stability [7]. Based on the job run data, in PTG we will discuss further on adding them as voting and selecting it as a goal.

Zed cycle Leaderless projects ---------------------------------- We have 14 PTL assignments merged and 2 are in progress(Trove and Zaqar) [8]. With that only one project left to assign a leader (Adjutant) and we will wait until the end of March for Braden to get permission to maintain it[9].

PTG Preparation -------------------- TC slots are selected for coming PTG[10], please continue adding the topics in etherpad[11]. * Monday 14 - 16 UTC (TC + PTL for 2 hrs ) * Thursday 13-17 UTC (TC discussion for 4 hrs) * Friday 13-17 UTC (TC discussion for 4 hrs )

Dropping tags framework ------------------------------ part1 of this is merged[12], part-2 of updating release script and other tags migration is under-progress.

TC position on release cadence ------------------------------------- Dan has sent the overview and things changed as per the new release model [13]. The next plan is:

* Dan will explain/discuss it further in TC+PTL sessions on Monday [14]. * Projects can discuss it (from their project point of view) in their PTG sessions and collect the queries if any. * Join TC sessions on Thursday/Friday (I will schedule and update the exact time slot) to discuss those queries or plan the remaining work.

Fixing Zuul config error ---------------------------- Requesting projects with zuul config error to look into those and fix them which should not take much time[15].

Project updates ------------------- * None for this week.
