I would be fine with this. But I also wonder if it might make sense to move
Trove out of governance while they go through this transition so they have more
leeway to evolve the project how they need to, with the expectation that if
things get to a good and healthy point we can quickly re-accept the project as
official.

Omer has responded that the deadline was missed and he would like to continue
as PTL. I think that is acceptable. (though unfortunate that it was missed)

I agree with Doug, I think there needs to be someone designated as the contact
point for issues with the project. We've seen other "stable" things suddenly go
unstable due to library updates or other external factors.

I don't think Thierry was suggesting there not be a PTL for these, but for any
potential PTL candidates they can know that the demands on their time to fill
that role _should_ be pretty light.

I agree this has gotten to the point where it probably now makes more sense to
be owned by a SIG rather than being a full project team.

Even for feature-complete projects we need to know how to reach the
maintainers, otherwise I feel like we would consider the project
unmaintained, wouldn't we?

At this point the TC is going to be looking for a volunteer, so if there
is one please let us know.

This came up at a joint leadership meeting right after we created SIGs
and the Interop WG was reluctant to make any structural changes at the
time because they had just gone through a renaming process for the
working group. Changing "WG" to "SIG" feels much lighter weight, so
maybe we can move ahead with that now.

That was one of the possibilities I discussed with them during their
meeting a month ago:

http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23refstack/%23refstack.2018-07-03.log.html#t2018-07-03T17:05:43

Election official hat off and TC Refstack liaison hat on, I think if
Chris Hoge doesn't volunteer to act as PTL this cycle to oversee
shutting down the team and reassigning its deliverables, then we
need to help them fast-track that nowish and not appoint a Stein
cycle PTL.

Hi,

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I completely missed the nomination period.
Is it possible to send in a late nomination for Dragonflow?

Thanks,

There are 8 projects without candidates, so according to this
resolution[1], the TC will have to decide how the following
projects will proceed: Dragonflow, Freezer, Loci, Packaging_Rpm,
RefStack, Searchlight, Trove and Winstackers.


Here is my take on that...

Packaging_Rpm has a late candidate (Dirk Mueller). We always have a few 
teams per cycle that miss the election call, that would fall under that.


Trove had a volunteer (Dariusz Krol), but that person did not fill the 
requirements for candidates. Given that the previous PTL (Zhao Chao) 
plans to stay around to help onboarding the new contributors, I'd 
support appointing Dariusz.


I suspect Freezer falls in the same bucket as Packaging_Rpm and we 
should get a candidate there. I would reach out to caoyuan see if they 
would be interested in steeping up.


LOCI is also likely in the same bucket. However, given that it's a 
deployment project, if we can't get anyone to step up and guarantee some 
level of currentness, we should consider removing it from the "official" 
list.


Dragonflow is a bit in the LOCI case. It feels like a miss too, but if 
it's not, given that it's an add-on project that runs within Neutron, I 
would consider removing it from the "official" list if we can't find 
anyone to step up.


For Winstackers and Searchlight, those are low-activity teams (18 and 13 
commits), which brings the question of PTL workload for feature-complete 
projects.


Finally, RefStack: I feel like this should be wrapped into an 
Interoperability SIG, since that project team is not producing 
"OpenStack", but helping fostering OpenStack interoperability. Having 
separate groups (Interop WG, RefStack) sounds overkill anyway, and with 
the introduction of SIGs we have been recentering project teams on 
upstream code production.

[openstack-dev] [all][election] PTL nominations are now closed

2018-07-31 Thread Tony Breeds

Hello all,
The PTL Nomination period is now over. The official candidate list
is available on the election website[0].

There are 8 projects without candidates, so according to this
resolution[1], the TC will have to decide how the following
projects will proceed: Dragonflow, Freezer, Loci, Packaging_Rpm,
RefStack, Searchlight, Trove and Winstackers.

There are 2 projects that will have elections: Senlin, Tacker. The details
for those will be posted shortly after we setup the CIVS system.

Thank you,
