Hello Everyone, Here is this week's summary of the Technical Committee activities. 1. TC Meetings: ============ * We had this week's meeting on Dec 7. Most of the meeting discussions are summarized in this email. Meeting recording and summary logs are available @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQYzoJV35Xw @ https://meetings.opendev.org/meetings/tc/2022/tc.2022-12-07-16.00.log.html * Next TC weekly meeting will be on Dec 14 Wed at 16:00 UTC, Feel free to add the topic to the agenda[1] by Dec 13. 2. What we completed this week: ========================= * Technical Election changes: extending the period for nomination and voting to two weeks You might have observed in elections that a lot of candidates miss the nomination deadline. To improve the situation, TC discussed it in the election retrospective in PTG and decided to extend the nomination and the voting period to two weeks. This has been updated in the TC charter[2]. This change will be applicable from the next (2023.2 cycles) technical elections. Another update to the next elections is that ianychoi and tonyb will be serving as election officials[3]. Thanks to both to volunteer for it. * Added Adjutant to inactive project list[4] Dale Smith (current PTL) is in sync with this and already started working on the pending things to mark it Active. For example, he fixed the gate[5]. * Added the infinidat-tools subordinate charm to OpenStack charms[6] 3. Activities In progress: ================== TC Tracker for the 2023.1 cycle ------------------------------------- * Current cycle working items and their progress are present in the 2023.1 tracker etherpad[7]. Open Reviews ----------------- * Two open reviews for ongoing activities[8]. Change in Inactive project timeline ----------------------------------------- While proposing the Adjutant project in the Inactive list, the release team pointed out that we should have the final list of deliverables to release by milestone 2 instead of the final release time. This is a valid point and TC is reflecting the same in Inactive project timeline where TC will take the final decision on inactive projects to move back to active again and consider for release by milestone 2. The change in TC documentation is up for review[9] Mistral release and more maintainers ------------------------------------------- The release team identified the Mistral needs more work to be considered for release and proposing to mark Mistral release deprecated [10]. The good thing is that there are more volunteers from OVHcloud to help maintain it[11]. TC will monitor the situation and decide on the Mistral release before milestone 2. Renovate translation SIG i18 ---------------------------------- * Brian on behalf of TC presented it in the Board meeting on Dec 6th and the budget for the Weblate tool license seems ok but we still need an engineer to do the translation migration and maintenance. Here is the proposal discussed in the Board meeting[12] Project updates ------------------- * None 4.
