whoami-rajat#topic announcements14:05
whoami-rajatfirst, 2023.2 Bobcat PTG summary14:05
whoami-rajatthe summary is ready now, you can see it on the wiki page14:05
whoami-rajat#link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/CinderBobcatPTGSummary14:05
whoami-rajatdo check out the relevant topics and action items that are assigned to you14:06
whoami-rajatnext, 2023.2 Bobcat Cinder specific schedule14:06
whoami-rajatI proposed the cinder specific schedule for 2023.2 and it is also merged14:06
whoami-rajat#link https://releases.openstack.org/bobcat/schedule.html#cinder14:06
whoami-rajatyou can check out cinder related deadlines on the page14:07
whoami-rajatif you scroll up, you will also see the deadlines date wise14:07
whoami-rajatin the Project-specific events section14:07
whoami-rajatone thing related to the schedule is, we conduct 2 midcycles14:08
whoami-rajatfor midcycle-1, I've proposed the date 31 May 2023, does it work for everyone?14:08
whoami-rajatit's 2 weeks before spec freeze and 4 weeks before driver merge deadline14:09
rosmaitalooks like there are no holidays anywhere on that day14:09
whoami-rajatso it will act as a good checkpoint (according to me)14:09
whoami-rajatgreat14:10
whoami-rajatlet me know if anyone still has issues/conflicts and we can discuss again14:10
whoami-rajatso, coming to midcycle-214:11
whoami-rajatI haven't added it to the schedule since it's far away and we might have conflicts14:11
whoami-rajatbut i have two good date candidates for it14:11
whoami-rajat1) 02 August, 2023 -- week of Cinder New Feature Status Checkpoint (4 weeks from M3)14:11
whoami-rajat2) 09 August, 2023 -- week of Cinder Driver Features Declaration (3 weeks from M3)14:11
whoami-rajatI can bring this up again later but just letting the team know we've a choice between the two dates14:13
whoami-rajatwhichever suits the majority14:13
simondodsleyeither are fine for me14:14
whoami-rajatcool14:15
whoami-rajatthis is a far fetched date so let's discuss this in 1 month but for safe bet, I will go with 2nd August as default14:16
whoami-rajatnext, Xena EM on 20th April14:16
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/87888214:16
whoami-rajatso we've entered 2023.2 Bobcat cycle and it's time to move the last active stable branch to EM14:17
whoami-rajatwhich is Xena14:17
whoami-rajatwe are planning to do a final release before cutting the EM branch14:17
whoami-rajatwe still have some active patches in xena that i think we would like to get in14:17

whoami-rajat%5Estable%2Fxena14:17
whoami-rajatok, you can go to the etherpad for the link14:18
whoami-rajatthere is one patch i would like to get into the final xena release which is the multiattach fix we did last cycle14:19
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/87486514:19
whoami-rajatonce the backports are proposed, I would need one more core to assist me in merging this14:20
rosmaitai can do that14:20
whoami-rajatgreat, thanks!14:21
whoami-rajatwill ping you once the backports are ready :D14:21
whoami-rajatso stable cores, please focus on the xena open patches14:22
whoami-rajatand if anyone wants their patch to be included in the final release, please start the backport process14:22
whoami-rajatmoving on to the final announcement14:22
whoami-rajatIn person PTG team list14:22
whoami-rajat#link https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-April/033291.html14:22
whoami-rajatyou can find the list of teams going to visit the Vancouver PTG in June14:23
whoami-rajatthat's all the announcements I had, anyone would like to add anything?14:24
whoami-rajatguess not, let's move to topics!14:25
whoami-rajat#topic PTG follow-up: EOL rocky and stein14:25
whoami-rajatrosmaita, that's you14:26
rosmaitahi14:26
rosmaitai was reading the PTG summary and noticed that there's the action item about proposing EOL for rocky & stein to the mailing list14:26
rosmaitai put our proposal into an etherpad to make sure we agreed on how to express this before sending14:27
rosmaita#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-EOL-rocky-stein14:27
rosmaitanext question is, i thought whoami-rajat would send this out as PTL?14:28
whoami-rajatsorry i forgot about that before, I've added a minor correction and one comment on the etherpad regarding the increasing number of EM branches14:28
rosmaitai think about the EM branches, we can keep them as few as we want14:29
whoami-rajatrosmaita, oh, I don't have any issue but you've already written the response so ...14:29
whoami-rajatyeah, right now there are 614:29
whoami-rajatafter stein/rocky are gone there will be 414:30
whoami-rajatand after xena EM will be 514:30
whoami-rajatmy concern basically is we EOL less frequently but EM branches every 6 months14:30
whoami-rajatso EM will keep on increasing unless we EOL timely14:30
rosmaita3 is a better number, but once train is gone, no py2 (which is good or bad, depending on how you look at it)14:30
whoami-rajat3 sounds good, 3 EM, 3 active stable, 1 development14:32
rosmaitai guess let's get rocky and stein closed first, then we can figure out what to do with t, u, v14:33
whoami-rajatyou mean t, u because v, w, x will be EM? but yeah let's take one step at a time14:35
rosmaitaok14:35
whoami-rajatdo you want me to send this out? I understand the reasoning but the mail coming from former PTL should be equally good enough14:35
rosmaitaeither way14:37
rosmaitathe text says "we" so it should be clear enough that it's on behalf of the team14:37
whoami-rajatyes, ok, we can decide after the meeting14:38
rosmaitasounds like no one has any objections, so looks like it's good to go with your correction14:38
whoami-rajatand other people who were part of the PTG discussion, please take a look at the email since multiple people contributed to the points written in the email14:39
whoami-rajatworks for me but still saying out loud ^14:39
simondodsleylooks ok to me14:40
whoami-rajatrosmaita, if you're good with this, should we move to the next topic?14:44
rosmaitasure14:44
whoami-rajatcool14:44
whoami-rajat#topic Status of openstack-on-windows14:44
whoami-rajatrosmaita, that's you again14:44
rosmaitayeah, so cloudbase has pulled back on supporting openstack on windows14:45
rosmaitalooking like the project will be retired14:45
whoami-rajat:(14:45
rosmaitawe use os-win in a few places14:46
rosmaitabut the big problem is that cloudbase ran all the windows CI14:46
simondodsleyi wonder if Microsoft would be interested, especially as they have adopted OpenStack as a service offering for Telcos.14:46
rosmaitai wonder whether Microsoft is more interested in just having openstack be able to run windows VMs14:47
rosmaitanot necessarily using hyperv for virtualization, i mean14:47
rosmaitaat this point, i'm just bringing this up for awareness14:48
simondodsleyi'd be interested in how many Hyper-V OpenStack deployments there are globally?14:48
whoami-rajatthat would be great if they step in14:48
rosmaita2% of openstack14:48
rosmaita(jamespage found that number during the TC meeting yesterday)14:49
rosmaitaso it's a pretty small user base14:49
simondodsleybut still disenfranchising a number of people14:49
rosmaitathat's true14:50
simondodsleythey should be canvassed to see if they are interested14:50
rosmaitaso the plan is for the TC to publicize this and see if anyone cares14:50
rosmaitai guess we can bring it up with the Foundation, i think Microsoft has someone on the board14:50
simondodsleyif it gets killed, do we have to remove all that os_win code from cinder and os_brick master branches?14:50
rosmaitai think nova will remove hyper-v support14:51
rosmaitawe will probably have to remove it eventually as the library ages14:51
rosmaitai'm really sad to see the CI go away ... Lucien was really good about watching it and putting up patches when we did something that inadvertently broke openstack on windows14:52
rosmaitathat's all from me14:53
whoami-rajatIIRC we stopped removing the in-tree drivers, we just mark them supported if their driver/CI isn't maintained14:53
whoami-rajats/supported/unsupported14:54
rosmaitathere are the drivers, but there's also some windows compatibility code in cinder14:55
whoami-rajatok14:55
whoami-rajatpretty bad we've one less maintainer now14:56
rosmaitaanyway, i like simon's idea to reach out to microsoft, i will ask the TC to do that14:56
whoami-rajat+114:56
whoami-rajatwe've few minutes left, let's move to open discussion14:57
whoami-rajat#topic open discussion14:57
inoriExcuse me, I'd like to bring attention in this patch here. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/84773014:58
inoriThis patch is already have one +2, and I've added this patch into the review request.14:58
inoriSo could you please review it at your earliest convenience?14:59
whoami-rajatIIUC this is a feature and the priority of features (at least for me) is towards M-3 but that shouldn't stop anyone from reviewing merging these changes ^15:00
whoami-rajatplease take a look at the review request section15:00
whoami-rajatand we're out of time15:00
whoami-rajatthanks everyone for joining15:00
