Hi! This is the weekly summary of Technical Committee initiatives. You can find the full list of currently-considered changes at: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Technical_Committee_Tracker We also track TC objectives for the cycle using StoryBoard at: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/923 == Recently-approved changes == * New repos: ansible-role-container-registry == Election season == Voting is open to renew 7 seats from the Technical Committee's 13 seats. If you contributed changes recently to any of the official OpenStack repositories, you should have received a ballot. Deadline to vote is 23:59 UTC on Monday, so please vote now ! You can find details on the election at: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-April/129753.html A number of threads have been started to discuss TC-related questions, which may inform your vote: * http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-April/129622.html * http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-April/129658.html * http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-April/129661.html * http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-April/129664.html == Under discussion == The four changes requiring formal votes from the TC members will be held until the election concludes and new members join: * Splitting/abandoning kolla-kubernetes [1] * Adjutant project team addition [2] * Allow projects to drop py27 support in the PTI [3] * More detail about the expectations we place on goal champions [4] [1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/552531/ [2] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/553643/ [3] https://review.openstack.org/561922 [4] https://review.openstack.org/564060 == TC member actions/focus/discussions for the coming week(s) == The election closes on Monday. The new members will be inducted, and they will select the Technical Committee chair for the upcoming 6-month session. Urgent topics include preparation of the agenda for the joint Board + TC + UC meeting in Vancouver. If you have an idea of topic that should be discussed, it's still time to chime in on the thread at: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-April/129428.html == 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 Feel free to add your own office hour conversation starter at: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tc-office-hour-conversation-starters Cheers, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
