The previous week's meeting was short and focused on transition, so I 
didn't send a summary for it. We also had a couple of daily sync 
meetings to discuss the ongoing work. Here's what happened in the last 
two weeks.

= Quickstart Transition Phase 2 Status =

As previously planned, we transitioned the ovb-ha and ovb-nonha jobs to 
run with Quickstart. Please read the details of it from the announcement 
email[1].

The job is performing really well over the previous days, check the 
statistics here[2]. The only problem is some pingtest failure which 
seems be to not a Quickstart but a TripleO bug[3].

We're still working on transitioning periodic and promotion jobs and 
started planning "phase3" which will include updates and upgrades jobs 
and the containerized undercloud job.

= Review Process Improvements =

Ronelle initiated a conversation about improving the speed of landing 
bigger features and changes in Quickstart. A recent example is the OVB 
mode for devmode.sh which is taking a long time to get merged. Ideas 
about the new process can be seen at this etherpad[4].

= Image hosting issues =

We had a discussion about hosting the pre-built images for Quickstart, 
which seems to be problematic recently and results in bad user 
experience for first time users.

We can't get the CentOS CDN to serve up-to-date consistent images, and 
we have capacity problems on images.rdoproject.org. The solution might 
be the new RDO Cloud, but for now we are considering having each job 
build the image by default. This could add some overhead but it might 
save time if the download is slow or headaches if the images are outdated.

Thank you for reading the summary. Have a good weekend!

Best regards,
Attila
