== Voting in progress ==

Monty's patch updating shade team metainfo is still missing a couple of
votes:

https://review.openstack.org/523519

https://review.openstack.org/510656

https://review.openstack.org/524217


== Under discussion ==

Graham Hayes proposed various options to clarify how the testing of
interoperability programs should be organized, in the age of add-on
trademark programs. It is a difficult trade-off between the benefits of
centralizing reviews and decentralizing reviews for that specific area.
Please chime in on the review:

Matt Treinish proposed an update to the Python PTI for tests to be
specific and explicit. Wider community input is needed on that topic.
Please review at:

https://review.openstack.org/519751

The "top-5 help wanted list" assumes there will always be 5 items, and
the name is a bit of a mouthful. Naming is hard. Current proposal is to
call is the "help most needed" list. If you prefer your bikesheds
painted in blue, please comment at:

Emilien Macchi officially launched the goal proposing season for the
Rocky cycle in a thread at:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-November/124976.html

We already have one proposal on the docket (Storyboard migration),
thanks to Kendall Nelson. Please chime in on whether it's a good idea at:

== TC member actions for the coming week(s) ==

Nothing specific.


== Office hours ==

To be more inclusive of all timezones and more mindful of people for
which English is not the primary language, the Technical Committee
dropped its dependency on weekly meetings. So that you can still get
hold of TC members on IRC, we instituted a series of office hours on
#openstack-tc:

* 09:00 UTC on Tuesdays
* 01:00 UTC on Wednesdays
* 15:00 UTC on Thursdays

For the coming week, I expect reports around the cross-community
discussions that happened at KubeCon.

Cheers,
