This is the weekly summary of work being done by the Technical Committee members. The full list of active items is managed in the wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Technical_Committee_Tracker
We also track TC objectives for the cycle using StoryBoard at: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/923 == Recent Activity == Project updates: - extra ATCs for I18n team: https://review.openstack.org/586751 - move security team repos to the SIG: https://review.openstack.org/586896 == Leaderless teams after Stein PTL elections == We had 7 teams without any volunteers to serve as PTL for the Stein cycle. The TC is handling each on a case-by-case basis, working with the project teams and considering the broader context of activity over the last cycle. Omer Anson has volunteered to be PTL for the Dragonflow team. Omer is the current PTL, so I do not anticipate any issues with the TC confirming him to serve again. Sam Yaple has agreed to serve as the PTL for the Loci team. Sam is active in the project, so I do not anticipate any issues with his confirmation. Dirk Mueller has volunteered to serve as packaging-rpm team PTL. I do not anticipate any issues with his confirmation, either. - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/588617/ Jeremy and Julia are going to work with the RefStack team and Interop working group to settle the ownership of the repositories currently owned by the RefStack team. I anticipate the RefStack team being dissolved when those new owners are found for those repositories. Dariusz Krol has volunteered to serve as Trove team PTL. The TC considered Dariusz's status carefully, because he is not currently a contributor to Trove, but the Trove team seems willing to accept Dariusz, so I anticipate the TC accepting him as PTL. - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/588510/ Paul and Chris are working to contact the Winstackers team about whether they want to find a volunteer to serve as PTL, or if the team should be dissolved. In addition to missing the PTL election, the Freezer and Searchlight teams missed enough deadlines during the cycle for the release management team to drop them from the Rocky release. We do not want to continue to list teams as official if the projects are not maintained and the teams are not active in the community. Given the apparent lack of participation in community processes, we are considering removing both teams from governance. We will not be rushing to make a decision, however, so if you are interested in either project please join the relevant thread with your input. - removing both from the rocky release: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/588605/ - removing freezer from governance: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-August/132873.html and https://review.openstack.org/#/c/588645/ - removing searchlight from governance: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-August/132874.html and https://review.openstack.org/#/c/588644/ == 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. - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/572559/ - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/588110/ Sean has posted a new draft of the goal to create automated upgrade checker tools. - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/585491/ I have a patch to remove expired extra ATCs from several projects. "Extra ATC" status is time-limited, just as regular ATC status is. This patch is just housekeeping to remove some names that have expired. - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/588586/ The TC is planning 2 meetings during the week of the PTG. The proposed agendas are up for comment. - https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tc-stein-ptg == 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. - https://review.openstack.org/#/q/project:openstack/governance+is:open == 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. __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
