==================
TC Tracker for the 2023.1 cycle
-------------------------------------
* Current cycle working items and their progress are present in the 2023.1 tracker etherpad[6].

Open Reviews
-----------------
* Nine open reviews for ongoing activities[7].

Discussion on guidelines for using the OpenStack/project release version/name in documents
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you might know, last week we merged the guidelines for using the OpenStack coordinated
release version and project version in release notes and documents[8]. But there is some discussion
going on for standalone projects' use case if the standalone projects can skip using the OpenStack
coordinated release version and have only the project version in documents. JayF's proposal is up
for review[9]. If your project can also be used as a standalone, this is a good time to feedback on
the proposal. 

Leaderless projects for 2023.2 bobcat cycle
----------------------------------------------------
As the election is closed, we have 9 projects without nominations and 2 with identified leaders[10][11].
I have created the etherpad[12] to track and identify the leaders for the remaining 7 projects. If
you are using those projects and interested in maintaining or leading them, this is the right time
to step up. 

The Technical Committee Chair election
-----------------------------------------------
As the election has closed, it is time for selecting the TC Chair for the next cycle. I have been serving
as Chair for the last 2 years and I am not planning to continue it this cycle. It's time for the new Chair.
The election process has been started as per the process[13].

Deprecation process for TripleO
--------------------------------------
You might have seen the ML discussion for TripleO deprecation. TripelO team is looking for the
volunteer to maintain the stable/zed. If you are interested to help, please reply to James' email[14]

Cleanup of PyPI maintainer list for OpenStack Projects
----------------------------------------------------------------
JayF has written the process to clean up the PyPi additional maintainers[15]. And Dmitriy is updating the
governance document to explicitly mention about PyPi maintainers policy[16]. Other than that, please
continue the audit process[17]. 

The process to find the less active projects early in the cycle:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
No update this week. JayF started the etherpad to collect the data and define the criteria to help
in this process[18].

Project updates
-------------------
* Add Cinder Huawei charm[19]
* Add the woodpecker charm to Openstack charms[20]
* mistral adopting PTL model[21]
