Essential Priorities
====================

CI refactoring and missing test coverage
----------------------------------------
- Standalone CI tests (vsaienk0)
    - next patch to be reviewed: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/429770/
- Missing test coverage (all)
    - portgroups and attach/detach tempest tests: https://review.openstack.org/382476
    - local boot with partition images: TODO https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1531149
    - adoption: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/344975/
        - should probably be changed to use standalone tests

Generic boot-from-volume (TheJulia, dtantsur)
---------------------------------------------
- specs and blueprints:
    - http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/volume-connection-information.html
        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526231
    - http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/boot-from-volume-reference-drivers.html
        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1559691
    - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ironic-boot-from-volume
        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/ironic-boot-from-volume
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - mjturek is looking into identifying how to address/support a behavior of cinder in regards to required information where cinder expects data, but dirvers do not necessarilly use it.  The cinder driver code originally expected it to be optional, but hshiina found an additional check inside cinder's code base that requires both pieces of information.
    - mjturek is working on getting together devstack config updates/script changes in order to support this configuration
        - It's looking more like all setup can/should happen during tempest.
    - hshiina is looking in Nova side changes and is attempting to obtain clarity on some of the issues that tenant network separation introduced into the deployment workflow.
    - Patch/note tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Ironic-BFV
        Ironic Patches:
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/366197/
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/406290
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/413324
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/454243/ - WIP logic changes for deployment process.  Tenant network separation introduced some additional complexity, quick conceptual feedback requested.
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/214586/ - Volume Connection Information Rest API Change
        Additional patches exist, for python-ironicclient and one for nova.  Links in the patch/note tracking etherpad.

Rolling upgrades and grenade-partial (rloo, jlvillal)
-----------------------------------------------------
- spec approved; code patches: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526283
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - patches ready for reviews. Next one: 'Add version column' (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/412397/)
    - Testing work:
        - 27-Mar-2017: Grenade multi-node is non-voting
        - need to change grenade to only upgrade the conductor, ready for reviews: https://review.openstack.org/456166

Reference architecture guide (jroll, dtantsur)
----------------------------------------------
- no updates

Python 3.5 compatibility (Nisha)
--------------------------------
- no updates
- Nisha will be taking over this work(Nisha on leave from May 5 to May 22)

Deploying with Apache and WSGI in CI (vsaienk0)
-----------------------------------------------
- ironic part seems finished (needs double-checking)
    - do we have install-guide bits on how to do it?
- inspector is TODO and depends on https://review.openstack.org/435517

Driver composition (dtantsur, jroll)
------------------------------------
- spec: http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/driver-composition-reform.html
- gerrit topic: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+topic:bug/1524745
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - client changes merged
    - TODO as of 01 May 2017
        - install guide / admin guide docs
            - dtantsur volunteered, will try to get to it this week
        - new hardware types:
            - ilo: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/439404/
            - rpioso volunteered to do drac
        - what to do about driver properties API and dynamic drivers?
            - we discussed it on the virtual meetup, rloo to write a spec

Feature parity between two CLIs (rloo, dtantsur)
------------------------------------------------
- OSC driver-properties spec is work in progress: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/439907/
    - we don't have API to show driver properties for dynamic drivers (we show hardware type + default interfaces): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1671549. This should not be a blocker for the missing OSC commands but since this will also need OSC support, it might have an impact on the OSC commands we eventually decide on. Discussed in last week's meetup, starting around L137: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ironic-virtual-meetup
    - no update this week

OSC default API version change (dtantsur)
-----------------------------------------
- 5/1 update
    - Spec updated; scopes work to CLI only:  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/448661/
        - some comments on the spec, dtantsur to follow-up this week
    - OSC CLI patch is up, passing unit and functional tests  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/442153/

Rescue mode (stendulker/aparnav)
--------------------------------
- spec: http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/implement-rescue-mode.html
- code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526449+status:open
- 4/10 update
    - Current goal: get tempest test for rescue passing against CoreOS w/DHCP
    - API/conductor and rescuewait timeout patches up to date
    - Agent driver still needs some work, today's update broke something

node tags (zhenguo, vdrok)
--------------------------
- spec: http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/nodes-tagging.html
- topic: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526266
