The UX project was briefly discussed at a recent TC meeting (see the end of
the log) [1], with Piet stepping down there was some discussion about
whether or not it needs to be a standalone project, or can turn into a
working group (like the API working group).

Following our policy[1], the Technical Committee decided[2] the
following for project teams without PTL candidates in the nomination
timeframe:

- Robert Clark was nominated PTL for the Security Team.

- Serg Melikyan was nominated PTL for the Murano Team.

- Douglas Mendizabal was nominated PTL for the Barbican Team.

- An election should be held for Magnum contributors to pick their PTL
between Adrian Otto and Hongbin Lu. It will be organized by election
officials at their earliest convenience.

- MagnetoDB being abandoned, no PTL was chosen. Instead, we decided to
fast-track the removal[3] of MagnetoDB from the official list of
OpenStack projects.

If we have a stipulated time period set for proposals then grace period sounds
like a real-life deal. However, I would also encourage the idea of opening this

   Also, the schedule is announced 6 months in advance. The candidacy
   period is announced when it starts and a reminder is sent a couple of
   days before it ends.

   +1 to sticking to deadlines. A grace period just mean a different deadline.

   I don't, however, see the need for a firm start date. Comparing this to the 
feature freeze development cycle, in Nova we started opening up the specs for 
the N+1 cycle early in cycle N so that people can propose a spec early instead 
of waiting months and potentially missing the next window. So how about letting 
candidates declare early in the cycle by adding their names to the election 
repo at any time during the cycle up to the firm deadline? This might also 
encourage candidates not to wait until the last minute.


Agreed,

Just wanted to mention that this was also proposed here: 
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/074888.html

Ideally, we'd have the repo open as soon as the code name for the next
cycle is chosen (since the code name is needed).

Morgan is absolutely right.

The risk of unexpected things cropping up is always there.  If one has
the _intention_ to run for PTL, then they should make it a priority to
send the nomination as early as possible once timelines are announced
(more so if you're an incumbent PTL), rather than waiting for the last
moment.

Also, don't miss the unambiguously clear comment from Matt Riedemann:

"If running for PTL is something you had in mind to begin with, you
should probably be looking forward to when the elections start and
get your ducks in a row.  Part of being PTL, a large part I'd think,
is the ability to organize and manage things. If you're waiting
until the 11th hour to do this, I wouldn't have much sympathy."

Just want to +1 this. I'm going to be, probably, extrem here and
sugest that we should just shrink the candidacy period to 1 (max 2)
days.


-1 - the "problem" here (if you want to call it that) is that some folks
evidently found a week nomination period insufficient, for $whatever reason.

The obvious solution to that is to simply adopt the same branch model for
the openstack/election repo as all other projects - create a branch (or
directory) per release in openstack/election, and allow candidates to
propose their candidacy at any time during the preceding release cycle.

Then, if you clearly state the deadline ahead of time, you simply publish
results and/or start elections on that date, with whatever is in the repo
on that date and folks have the whole cycle (say from summit to RC1 time)
to consider running and propose their candidacy whenever they want.


This is the same thing I said in my previous email (you cut that off
of your reply) with the only difference that you're suggesting not
having a "candidacy day" but rather just have a "start election" day.

I'd argue saying that a deadline for candidacies is useful to have and
it brings more formality to the process. It helps, in the case of
using `openstack/elections` to have a deadline for cutting the branch
or freezing reviews, etc.

Setting up the election takes some time, which means there has to be a
date where the election officers stop considering new candidacies.



I also think this would encourage discussion within the project teams about
who wants to run for PTL, with transparency about those interested/willing
ahead of time.


+1


Perhaps you might WIP all submissions until a few days before the deadline,
such that if communities decide via mutual agreement one candidate should
take their turn as PTL submissions may be abandoned without any election.


I guess this may work in some cases but this defeats the whole purpose
of having an election and being able to vote, in private, which many
people value.


IMHO rotation of PTL responsibilities is healthy, as is discussion
and openness in the community - being PTL isn't some sort of prize, it's a
time-consuming burden, which is mostly about coordination and release
management, not really about "leadership" at all (although it is about
community building and leading by example..)

I guess what I mean is I'm not really sure what the timeboxed nomination
period aims to achieve, particularly if you shrink it to one or two days -
that makes it extremely easy for folks to miss due to illness/travel or
$whatever, and implies some kind of race - which is the opposite, IMHO of
the dynamic we should be encouraging.


In my previous email I mentioned that folks can simply send the
candidacy in advance or have someone else to propose it. Seriously,
it's not about having a single day for sending the candidacy, it's
about having a clear deadline where no more candidacies are
considered. If a candidacy is sent 4 months in advance, I guess that's
fine. I don't care.

Cheers,
Flavio

The election period is announced way earlier in the cycle. Candidates
have 6 month to think about what should come next for their project.
Instead of having a full week to send candidacies, I'd just send a
reminder that the candidacy day is coming and everyone should get
their candidacies done.

If, for some reason, someone can't send the candidacy the day when
candidacies should be sent, then it'd be possible to designate someone
to submit it for review on his behalf. Even better, since now it's all
done through gerrit, that person can just send it in advance.

would simply do what you're stating without having to explain AOE more
concretely than "submit by 23:59 your tz day X".

I think this is all superfluous however and we should simply encourage
people to not wait until the last minute. Waiting to see who is
running/what the field looks like isn't as important as standing up
and saying you're interested in running.


I like that you have used the word encourage however, will have to
disagree here. Life in general can't permit that to everyone -- there
can be any important things pop up at unexpected time, someone on
vacation and getting late to come back etc. And on top of that people
can get caught up particularly at this week.  The time-line for
proposals is a good idea seems a good idea in general.


That's exactly why the schedule is always proposed in the beginning of 
the cycle [1] so that any people interested in becoming PTLs would need 
to make sure that they could provide their candidacy (there are 7 days 
for proposing).


Also, the policy accepts to have a candidacy proposed by someone else, 
just by having the candidate +1'ing the change even after the deadline, 
so anyone in vacation can just proxy his candidacy by someone else.


Last but not the least, I assume that people wanting to be PTLs 
understand that they are here for helping the community so they have 
also to understand how the community works and what its rules are.

You shouldn't worry about hurting anyone's feelings by running and
more importantly most PTLs will be happy to have someone else shoulder
some of the weight; by tossing your name into the ring it signals
you're willing to help out in this regard. I know that as a PTL (an
outgoing one at that) having this clear signal would raise an
individual towards the top of the list for asking if they want the
responsibility delegated to them as it was indicated they already
wanted to be part of leadership for the project.

Just a $0.02 on the timing concerns.

Looks like in 4 cases (Magnum, Barbican, Murano, Security) there is
actually a candidate, they just missed the deadline. So that should be
an easy discussion at the next TC meeting.

For the last one, it is not an accident. I think it is indeed the final
nail on the coffin.



Yes, I was planning to wait until after the summit to propose that we
drop MagnetoDB from the official list of projects due to inactivity. We
can deal with it sooner, obviously.

I'm strongly against this extra rules. OpenStack Officials Elections are

Also, the schedule is announced 6 months in advance. The candidacy
period is announced when it starts and a reminder is sent a couple of
days before it ends.

This is not to say that ppl is not subject to other, not expected,
inconvenienes but I don't think extending the period or bending the
process is the right solution here.

There is one technical issue if we want to let candidate submit their
candidacy early on. The openstack/election repository needs a cycle name
as well as a the final project list.

To be more precise, there are 2 candidacies for Magnum and 1 for
Security. I would prefer all candidates have their candidacy statement
proposed and then merged upon TC decision.

-1 - the "problem" here (if you want to call it that) is that some folks
evidently found a week nomination period insufficient, for $whatever reason.

The obvious solution to that is to simply adopt the same branch model for
the openstack/election repo as all other projects - create a branch (or
directory) per release in openstack/election, and allow candidates to
propose their candidacy at any time during the preceding release cycle.

Then, if you clearly state the deadline ahead of time, you simply publish
results and/or start elections on that date, with whatever is in the repo
on that date and folks have the whole cycle (say from summit to RC1 time)
to consider running and propose their candidacy whenever they want.

I also think this would encourage discussion within the project teams about
who wants to run for PTL, with transparency about those interested/willing
ahead of time.

Perhaps you might WIP all submissions until a few days before the deadline,
such that if communities decide via mutual agreement one candidate should
take their turn as PTL submissions may be abandoned without any election.

IMHO rotation of PTL responsibilities is healthy, as is discussion
and openness in the community - being PTL isn't some sort of prize, it's a
time-consuming burden, which is mostly about coordination and release
management, not really about "leadership" at all (although it is about
community building and leading by example..)

I guess what I mean is I'm not really sure what the timeboxed nomination
period aims to achieve, particularly if you shrink it to one or two days -
that makes it extremely easy for folks to miss due to illness/travel or
$whatever, and implies some kind of race - which is the opposite, IMHO of
the dynamic we should be encouraging.

Ok, apologies, it wasn't my intention to mis-quote you, but I interpreted
your comments as meaning "candidacy period" meant proposals for candidacy
could *only* be made during that time, e.g your remarks about designating
someone to submit a review on a particular day.

I think we're basically in agreement and arguing for the same thing - folks
should be able to look at the release schedule, and see, just like the
clearly communicated "feature freeze" date, a PTL candidacy freeze.

Sure, but the dynamic implied by voting in private, an election, and
proposing candidacy at the last minute is one of competition for the role.

That, IMHO, is not all that healthy in this context, and most communities
should already be making all sorts of decisions by consensus, discussion
and mutual agreement.

Nothing I'm prosing defeats the purpose of the existing system - if more
than one candidate is keen to volunteer, they just do so, and the election
happens just as it does now.

+1 to sticking to deadlines. A grace period just mean a different deadline.

I don't, however, see the need for a firm start date. Comparing this to the 
feature freeze development cycle, in Nova we started opening up the specs for 
the N+1 cycle early in cycle N so that people can propose a spec early instead 
of waiting months and potentially missing the next window. So how about letting 
candidates declare early in the cycle by adding their names to the election 
repo at any time during the cycle up to the firm deadline? This might also 
encourage candidates not to wait until the last minute.

I agree with Ed here.

If we have a stipulated time period set for proposals then grace period
sounds like a real-life deal. However, I would also encourage the idea
of opening this up early and keep the folder ready and officials review
the merge prop 2 months prior to the final date. It's better to have a
final date with longer open period than a small firm set date.

Honestly I did the "Thursday" alignment math in my head and thought of it
in my non-futuristic timezone. Plus I have a Thursday release mentality
thanks to Theirry's years of excellent release management. :)

Plus, I further confused a couple of candidates when encouraging candidacy
posts, so I apologize for that! I am trying to get ahead of what we'll have
to do on the TC anyway.

I'd like to apply some common sense here and if this many candidates on
both sides of the globe got confused, we can still take that into
consideration when taking next steps.

I'm not sure we've defined a coffin really, more of an attic/shelving
system. :)

I'll definitely take some time to follow up with individuals in this
deadline confusion system when we take next steps on the TC.

Looks like in 4 cases (Magnum, Barbican, Murano, Security) there is
actually a candidate, they just missed the deadline. So that should be
an easy discussion at the next TC meeting.

For the last one, it is not an accident. I think it is indeed the final
nail on the coffin.

I think that is a great question for the TC to consider when they
evaluate options for action with these projects.

The election officials are fulfilling their obligation according to the
resolution:

If you read the verb there the verb is "can" not "must", I choose the
verb "can" on purpose for the resolution when I wrote it. The TC has the
option to select an appointee. The TC can do other things as well,
should the TC choose.


I agree- and this is a great example of places where human judgement is 
better than rules.


For instance - one of the projects had a nominee but it missed the 
deadline, so that's probably an easy on.


For one of the projects it had been looking dead for a while, so this is

Re: [openstack-dev] [all][elections] PTL nomination period is now over

[Clark, Robert Graham]

Likewise, I'm not sure I missed the candidacy window, I think our late 
mid-cycle threw things out of whack slightly.

When I saw the Magnum nomination I made a mental note to apply today. This is a 
poor-show on my part and I apologise to the TC, the community and the Security 
team for this apparent lack of awareness. 

Five projects without candidates seems like a lot, especially as several of 
them are very active. I think perhaps this is a busy time of year and like me a 
number of people were not paying close enough attention to the election window.

I understand that the official window for nominations has now closed, I'd like 
to understand more about how the process detailed in [1] below will operate, 
many of these projects have established PTLs (like me) who are obviously not 
great at tracking dates (like me) but still very much want to continue to lead 
in their communities (like me). I'd like to better understand what happens next.

-Rob

Hi Douglas,

UTC time is now:  "Thu Sep 17 15:16:46 UTC 2015".
The deadline was: "Thu Sep 17 05:59:00 UTC 2015"

You can check UTC time using this command line "TZ=UTC date".

Tristan

From the wiki[0]:
---
Timeline
September 11 - September 17, 05:59 UTC: Open candidacy for PTL positions
September 18 - September 24: PTL elections
---

The time in UTC is: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc
which, at the time of this writing, is: Sept 17th 15:20ish

So the nomination period closed nearly 10 hours ago.

The time-frame to be eligible to vote in the election closes at 5:59am on Sept
18th (UTC)

I hope that clarifies.

Yours Tony.

Re: [openstack-dev] [all][elections] PTL nomination period is now over

[Edgar Magana]

Folks,

Last year I found myself in the same position when I missed a deadline because 
my wrong planning and time zones nightmare!
However, the rules were very clear and I assumed my mistake. So, we should 
assume that we do not have candidates and follow the already described process. 
However, this should be very easy to figure out for the TC, it is just a matter 
to find our who is interested in the PTL role and consulting with the core team 
of that specific project.

Just my two cents…

Edgar

Magnum had a candidacy on the mailing list. I'd assume this is because
it wasn't proposed to openstack/election. Right?

Per that page the deadline for nominations is September 17, 05:59
UTC which was over 9 hours ago now. The deadline for contributions
to count toward being part of the electorate is September 18, 2015
05:59 UTC (a little less than 15 hours from now).

That is correct, but the candidacy was submitted after the deadlines so

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation.

This is quite unfortunate, as I was intending to submit my candidacy
for the Barbican project today, but I did not realize the cutoff time
would be in the morning in CDT.

I'd like to apologize to the OpenStack community and the Barbican team
in particular for missing this deadline.

Thanks,

I think that is a great question for the TC to consider when they
evaluate options for action with these projects.

The election officials are fulfilling their obligation according to the
resolution:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/governance/tree/resolutions/20141128-elections-process-for-leaderless-programs.rst

If you read the verb there the verb is "can" not "must", I choose the
verb "can" on purpose for the resolution when I wrote it. The TC has the
option to select an appointee. The TC can do other things as well,
should the TC choose.

Thanks,
Anita.

Maybe it would be a good idea to switch to 23:59 AOE deadlines like many
paper submissions use for academic conferences. That way there is never a
need to convert TZs, you just get it in by the end of the day in your own
time zone.

Re: [openstack-dev] [all][elections] PTL nomination period is now over

[Brian Curtin]

Because it's still day_n AOE in early hours of day_n+1 local-time in a
lot of places. I think I have until 6 AM the day after an AOE deadline
where it's still considered the deadline date anywhere on earth, as
there are still places on earth where the date hasn't flipped.

Your EOD is not the deadline, as it's really only a reference to how
many more hours you have until it's no longer that date anywhere on
earth. People screw themselves out of things by using their EOD as the
definition.

(we've been using this with the PyCon CFP since forever)

How is it not what I described? Time zones become irrelevant if you get it
in by the end of the day in your local time zone.

This is somehow going to cause even more confusion because you'll have
to explain AOE (which is not what you described).

IMHO, the current process leaves enough time for proposing a candidacy, 
given that it's first advertised by beginning of the cycle on the main 
Release schedule wiki page (eg. for Liberty [1]) and then officially 
announced 8 days before the deadline. We also know that PTL elections 
come around 6 weeks before the Summit every cycle. One last official 
annoucement is made 1 day before the deadline.


Trying to target the very last moment for providing a candidacy just 
seems risky to me in that condition and we should really propose to the 
candidates to not wait for the last minute and propose far eariler.

I agree- and this is a great example of places where human

There are 7 projects that will have an election:

It guarantees that if you hit the date deadline local time, that you won't
miss the deadline. It doesn't matter if there are extra hours afterwards.
The idea is that it gets rid of the need to do time zone conversions.

If we are trying to do some weird optimization where everyone wants to
submit in the last 60 seconds, then sure AOE isn't great for that because
you still have to convert. It doesn't seem to me like that's what we are
trying to do though.

Heh, yeah, +1. If running for PTL is something you had in mind to begin 
with, you should probably be looking forward to when the elections start 
and get your ducks in a row.  Part of being PTL, a large part I'd think, 
is the ability to organize and manage things. If you're waiting until 
the 11th hour to do this, I wouldn't have much sympathy.

​My dog ate my homework...
My car wouldn't start...
I couldn't figure out what UTC time was...

The guidelines seemed pretty clear:
Any member of an election electorate can propose their candidacy for the
same election until September 17, 05:59 UTC​

That being said, a big analysis on date/time selection etc doesn't really
seem warranted here or harping on the fact that something 'went wrong'.  I
as a TC member have no problem saying "things happen" and those that have
submitted candidacy albeit late and are unopposed are in.. no muss no
fuss.  I *think* we're all reasonable adults and don't know that anybody
had in mind that the TC would arbitrarily assign somebody that wasn't even
listed as a PTL for one of the mentioned projects.

Moving on,
John

Yes, I was planning to wait until after the summit to propose that we
drop MagnetoDB from the official list of projects due to inactivity. We
can deal with it sooner, obviously.

Alternatively you give a UTC time (which all of our meetings are in anyway)
and set the deadline. Maybe we should be setting the deadline to the
western-most timezone (UTC-11/-12?) 23:59 as the deadline. This would
simply do what you're stating without having to explain AOE more concretely
than "submit by 23:59 your tz day X".

I think this is all superfluous however and we should simply encourage
people to not wait until the last minute. Waiting to see who is
running/what the field looks like isn't as important as standing up and
saying you're interested in running.

You shouldn't worry about hurting anyone's feelings by running and more
importantly most PTLs will be happy to have someone else shoulder some of
the weight; by tossing your name into the ring it signals you're willing to
help out in this regard. I know that as a PTL (an outgoing one at that)
having this clear signal would raise an individual towards the top of the
list for asking if they want the responsibility delegated to them as it was
indicated they already wanted to be part of leadership for the project.

Just a $0.02 on the timing concerns.

Re: [openstack-dev] [all][elections] PTL nomination period is now over

[Adrian Otto]

I’d like to extend my apologies to the election officials and the TC for not 
submitting my Magnum PTL candidacy before the deadline. There was a 
miscommunication between me and Anne Gentle about the deadline, so I made 
inappropriate plans for submission. It is here:

https://review.openstack.org/224850

Thanks for your consideration.

It's not so simple for Magnum, with 2 late candidacies. We'll figure it out
but yes, we have work to do.

+1 I don't think there's a problem to be solved here by changing the
deadline for candidacies. We all understand UTC. We have a well advertised
and well understood process for resolving such issues already. No matter
the deadline, that process will still be there.

I like that you have used the word encourage however, will have to
disagree here. Life in general can't permit that to everyone -- there
can be any important things pop up at unexpected time, someone on
vacation and getting late to come back etc. And on top of that people
can get caught up particularly at this week.  The time-line for
proposals is a good idea seems a good idea in general.

Hi,

I am fine to have an election with Adrian Otto, and potentially with other 
candidates who are also late.

Best regards,

​My dog ate my homework...
My car wouldn't start...
I couldn't figure out what UTC time was...

The guidelines seemed pretty clear:
Any member of an election electorate can propose their candidacy for the same 
election until September 17, 05:59 UTC​

That being said, a big analysis on date/time selection etc doesn't really seem 
warranted here or harping on the fact that something 'went wrong'.  I as a TC 
member have no problem saying "things happen" and those that have submitted 
candidacy albeit late and are unopposed are in.. no muss no fuss.  I *think* 
we're all reasonable adults and don't know that anybody had in mind that the TC 
would arbitrarily assign somebody that wasn't even listed as a PTL for one of 
the mentioned projects.


It's not so simple for Magnum, with 2 late candidacies. We'll figure it out but 
yes, we have work to do.


It could be simple: Let magnum have an election with both candidates. As Monty 
said:

"... this is a great example of places where human judgement is better than 
rules."

Re: [openstack-dev] [all][elections] PTL nomination period is now over

[Nikhil Komawar]

My 2 cents:

I like to solve problems and seems like this is a common problem in many
conferences, seminars, etc. The usual way of solving this issue is to
have a grace period with last minute extension to deadline for
proposals, possibly for a unknown period of time and unannounced.
However, in this particular case the published schedule of voting on the
wiki can be a spoiler. May be there's a workaround I'm not thinking here
but anyways, it's out there now.

OpenStack uses UTC for activities overseen by the TC:
