== Leaderless teams after PTL elections ==

As part of the discussion of how to deal with re-appointments of
PTLs where no governance patch would be needed and hence we would
have no place to vote, Chris has proposed a schema change that will
let us handle the changes in the governance repo instead of updating
the election repository after the election is over.

The RefStack team is being dissolved and the repositories moved to
the interop working group.

Claudiu Belu volunteered to serve as PTL for the Winstackers team
again for Stein.

We now have volunteers to serve as PTL for both Freezer and
Searchlight, so we need to decide what action to take with those
teams.

- removing freezer from governance: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-August/132873.html and https://review.openstack.org/#/c/588645/

== Ongoing Discussions ==

Ian has updated his proposals to change the project testing interface
to support PDF generation and documentation translation. These need
to be reviewed by folks familiar with the tools and processes.

The TC is planning 2 meetings during the week of the PTG. The
proposed agendas are up for comment.

== TC member actions/focus/discussions for the coming week(s) ==

The PTG is approaching quickly. Please complete any remaining team
health checks.

Besides the items listed above as ongoing discussions, we have
several other governance reviews open without sufficient votes to
be approved. Please review.

== Contacting the TC ==

The Technical Committee uses a series of weekly "office hour" time
slots for synchronous communication. We hope that by having several
such times scheduled, we will have more opportunities to engage
with members of the community from different timezones.

Office hour times in #openstack-tc:

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

If you have something you would like the TC to discuss, you can add
it to our office hour conversation starter etherpad at:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tc-office-hour-conversation-starters

Many of us also run IRC bouncers which stay in #openstack-tc most
of the time, so please do not feel that you need to wait for an
office hour time to pose a question or offer a suggestion. You can
use the string "tc-members" to alert the members to your question.

You will find channel logs with past conversations at
http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/

If you expect your topic to require significant discussion or to
need input from members of the community other than the TC, please
start a mailing list discussion on openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org
and use the subject tag "[tc]" to bring it to the attention of TC
members.
