Linkified: https://anticdent.org/tc-report-18-05.html Your author has been rather ill, so this week's TC Report will be a bit abridged and mostly links. I'll try to return with more robust commentary next week. ## RDO Test Days dmsimard showed up in `#openstack-tc` channel to [provide some details](http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2018-01-24.log.html#t2018-01-24T16:32:11) on forthcoming RDO Test Days. ## More on the Goals [Conversations](http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2018-01-25.log.html#t2018-01-25T15:48:50) [continue](http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2018-01-30.log.html#t2018-01-30T09:03:31) about choosing OpenStack goals. One issue raised is whether we have sufficient insight into how people are really using and deploying OpenStack to be able to prioritize goals. ## Project Inception smcginnis [pointed out](http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2018-01-29.log.html#t2018-01-29T17:25:25) a governance discussion in the CNCF about [project inception](https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/85) that he thought might be of interest to the TC. Discussion ensued around how the OpenStack ecosystem differs from the CNCF and as a result the need, or lack thereof, for help to bootstrap projects is different. ## PTG Scheduling The PTG is coming and with it [discussion](http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2018-01-30.log.html#t2018-01-30T09:22:44) of how best to make room for all the conversations that need to happen, including things that come up at the last minute. New this time will be a more formal structuring of [post-lunch presentations](http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2018-01-30.log.html#t2018-01-30T09:38:17) to do theme-setting and information sharing. ## Board Meeting at the PTG Monday there was [discussion](http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2018-01-29.log.html#t2018-01-29T16:06:18) about the OpenStack Foundation [Board Meeting](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/26Feb2018BoardMeeting) overlapping with the first day of the PTG. This follows [discussion in email](http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2018-January/002558.html). ## Today's Board Meeting I attended [today's Board Meeting](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/30Jan2018BoardMeeting) but it seems that according to the [transparency policy](http://www.openstack.org/legal/transparency-policy/) I can't comment: > No commenting on Board meeting contents and decisions until > Executive Director publishes a meeting summary That doesn't sound like transparency to me, but I assume there must be reasons. -- Chris Dent (⊙＿⊙') https://anticdent.org/ freenode: cdent tw: @anticdent
