  • Should we have Upstream Institutes at the PTG? yay or nay

Summaries

Gerrit Upgrade Update From Infra

  • Gerrit emails are slow, because it’s sending one at a time
  • Web UI File Editor
    • Behaving oddly. Might be because of API time outs. Gertty is also having reported problems.
  • Message

Install Guide VS Tutorial

  • Since the doc-migration, people have been having questions regarding the usage of “Install Tutorial” and “Install Guide” in the OpenStack manuals repository and project specific repos.
    • The documentation team agrees this should be consistent.
    • Tutorial’s literal translation is “paper, book, film, or computer program that provide practical information about a specific subject.”
  • From PTG discussions, a distinction made was installation provides one of many possible ways to install the components.
  • Consistency is more important than bike shedding over the name.
    • Industry wise, what’s the trend?
  • Thread

Garbage Patches for simple typo fixes

  • Previous thread from 2016 on this
  • Various contributors are doing many patches that are typo, style changes.
    • It has been expressed that this can cause CI resource starvation.
  • TC created the Top 5 help wanted to help contributors know where the community needs the most identified help.
  • This is a social issue, not a technical issue. Arguing about what is useful and what isn’t is probably not worth the effort here.
  • Communication and education is probably the best solution here. For repeated offenders, off-list email could be fine to make sure the communication is clear. Communicating this in the new contributor portal and Upstream Institute would be helpful.

Updates

  • Pike is official! [10]
  • Outreachy Call for Mentors and Sponsors! [11]
    • More info here[12]
    • Next round runs December 5th to March 5th
  • Libraries published to pypi with YYYY.X.Z versions[13]
    • During Kilo when the neutron vendor decomposition happened, the release version was set to 2015.1.0 for basically all of the networking projects
    • Main issue is that networking-hyperv == 2015.1.0 is currently on Pypi and whenever someone upgrades through pip, it ‘upgrades’ to 2015.1.0 because its considered the latest version
    • Should that version be unpublished?
    • Three options[14]
      • Unpublish- simplest, but goes against policy of pypi never unpublishing
        • +1 from tonyb, made a rough list of others to unpublish that need to be confirmed with PTL’s before passing to infra to unpublish[15]
      • Rename- a bunch of work for downstreams, but cleaner than unpublishing
      • Reversion- Start new versions at 3000 or something, but very hacky and ugly
    • dhellman, ttx, and fungi think that deleting it from pypi is the simplest route though not the typically recommended way of handling things
  • Removing Screen from devstack-RSN[16]
    • Work to make devstack only have a single execution mode- same between automated QA & local- is almost done!
    • Want to merge before PTG
    • Test your devstack plugins against this patch before it gets merged
    • Patch [17]
  • Release Countdown for week R+1 and R+2[18]
    • Still have release trailing deliverables to take care of
    • Need to post their Pike final release before the cycle-trailing release deadline (September 14th)
    • Join #openstack-release if you have questions
    • ttx passes RelMgmgt mantle to smcginnis

      • The docs team provides guidance, assistance, tooling, and style guides
        enabling OpenStack project teams to produce consistent, accurate, and
        high-quality documentation.
    • Shifting opinions towards starting from scratch- looking at what the docs team actually does/makes before crafting words around it [19]
    • Discussion will likely continue at the PTG

  • Custom Resource Classes, Bare Metal Scheduling and You [22]
    • If you run a 3rd party CI– this is important
    • In Pike, Nova provides a new way of scheduling baremetal based on custom resource classes
    • The old way is now deprecated but will be UNAVAILABLE in Queens
    • All operators running ironic will have to set the resource class field before upgrading to Pike and change flavors before upgrading to Queens
    • The ironic virt driver in Nova is going to be automatically migrating the embedded flavor within existing instances in Pike [23]
    • A periodic task in the nova-compute service
      will automatically create any custom resource class from an ironic node
      in the Placement service if it does not already exist

      • Avoiding side effects
      • Keeping modules short
    • Cdent proposed a patch [7]

OpenDev

Interested in Edge Computing? Join us for OpenDev, a new collaborative working event at DogPatch Studios in San Francisco, September 7-8. Tickets are just $100 for the two-day event, get yourself registered here!

 

The event will feature real world Edge use case demos from Verizon, AT&T and eBay in addition to updates from industry pioneers including Satya from Carnegie Mellon who’s doing cutting “edge” research. Program committee includes Beth Cohen (Verizon) Kandan Kathirvel (AT&T), Chris Price (Ericsson), Andrew Mitry (Walmart) and Gregory Katsaros (Inmarsat). Participating open tech groups include OpenStack, Open Edge Computing, ETSI MEC, OPNFV, Kubernetes and others.

 

As cloud architectures continue to evolve, compute is being pushed to the Edge in telecom, retail, research and other industries. This represents a huge opportunity for open infrastructure, so we’re meeting to talk about how to assemble and integrate the components needed to meet Edge requirements. The event is designed to facilitate collaboration at a technical level with productive, working group discussions, in addition to lightning talk presentations on Edge use cases. There will be a range of sessions that are collaborative, led by moderators who dive into specific topics. View the schedule line-up here.

  • Goals in Pike haven’t been really reached.
  • An idea from the meeting to address this is creating a role called “Champions” who are drum beaters to get a goal done, by helping projects with tracking status, and sometime doing code patches.
  • Interested volunteers who have a good understanding of their selected goal and its implementation to be a trusted person.
  • From the the discussion in thread, it seems we’re mostly in agreement with the Champion idea.
    • We have a volunteer for splitting out tempest plugins into repos/projects.
  • Full thread 14

OpenStack Developer Mailing list Digest June 10-16

Summaries

  • TC report 24 by Chris Dent 1
  • Release countdown for week R-10 and R-9, June 16-30 by Thierry 2
  • TC Status Update by Thierry 3.

Making Fuel a Hosted Project

  • Fuel originated from Mirantis as their OpenStack installer.
  • Approved as an official OpenStack project November 2015.
  • The goal was to get others involved to make one generic OpenStack installer.
  • In Mitaka and Newton it represented more commits than Nova.
  • While the Fuel team embraced open collaboration, it failed to attract other organizations.
  • Since October 2016 Fuel’s activity dropped from it’s main sponsor.
    • 68% drop between 2016 and 2017.
    • Project hasn’t held a meeting for three months.
    • Activity dropped from ~990 commits/month (April 2016, August 2016) to 52 commits in April 2017 and 25 commits May 2017.
  • Full thread: 4

Moving Away from “big tent” Terminology

  • Back in 2014 our integrated release was not really integrated, too big to be installed by everyone, yet too small to accommodate the growing interest in other forms of “open infrastructure”.
  • Incubation process created catch-22’s.
  • Project structure reform 4 discussions switched us to a simpler model: project teams would be approved based on how well they’d it the OpenStack overall mission and community principles rather than maturity.
    • Nick named the big tent 5
  • It ended up mostly creating confusion due to various events and mixed messages which we’re still struggling with today.
  • This was discussed during a TC office hour in channel openstack-tc 6
  • There is still no agreement on how to distinguish official and unofficial projects. The feedback in this thread will be used to assist the TC+UC+Board sub group on better communicating what is OpenStack.
  • Full thread: 7
