carlosso/ hello everyone15:04
carlossI'm finally back after ~10 days of PTO15:04
carlossthank you folks for holding the fort in my absence15:05
carlossand thanks gouthamr for running the meetings15:05
gouthamr++15:06
carlossalright, let's get started with our agenda15:06
carloss#topic Announcements15:06
carlossSchedule and Deadlines15:06
carloss#link https://releases.openstack.org/hibiscus/schedule.html (Hibiscus Schedule)15:06
carlosswe're still looking at the hibiscus scedule, even though our rc1 shipped15:07
carlosswe should hold on merging changes at this point, unless they are critical fixes15:07
carlossthat make us re-evaluate the release candidate15:07
carlosswe're ~15 days away from the official 2026.2 Hibiscus release15:08
carlossand we're roughly 1 month away from the 2027.1 Indri PTG15:09
kpdev_hi15:10
carlosswhich we already have an etherpad for planning topics15:10
carlosso/ kpdev_ 15:10
carloss#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/indri-ptg-manila-planning (2027.1 Indri PTG planning etherpad)15:10
carlossplease add topics15:10
carlossI've also created the retrospective etherpad:15:12
carloss#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/indri-ptg-manila-retrospective (Hibiscus cycle retrospective)15:12
carlosslet's try taking a different approach for the upcoming retrospective and add all topics prior to the meeting15:13
carlossin the hope of having more time for discussions15:13
carlossas for the current release, this is our list of cycle highlights:15:14
carloss#ink https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/1003757 (Hibiscus cycle highlights)15:14
carlossplenty to be proud of, I tried noting major changes we completed as part of this list15:15
carlosswe do have a "feature freeze" topic under announcements, but we'll get to that in a bit15:15
carlossare there any other announcements you'd like to share with us today?15:16
carlossalright, let's talk a bit about not specifically feature freeze but the topics that likely need some discussion after some consideration15:18
carlossfirst would be15:18
carlossStatus of the features and CIs15:18
carlosswhy am I bringing this up?15:19
carlossrecently we saw an issue being brought up that impacts one of the main principles of the drivers15:20
carlossthe whole point of bringing this up is: this should and could've been avoided by more extensive testing on our end, more specifically scenario tests15:20
carlossand we realized two things:15:20
carloss1. we're missing some basic scenario tests15:20
carloss2. we should do our best to run scenario tests15:20
carlossbut running scenario tests has always been a bottleneck for resource reasons, specially because the manila service image used to be very beefy15:21
carlosswhich is now changing thanks to a great effort from gouthamr to tackle one of our long wanted RFEs: make the manila service image something lightweight15:22
carlossthis is something I'm bringing up as part of this meeting mostly in a sense of awareness and to gather some thoughts15:23
carlosswe must have these definitions clear and also make the expectations clear on CI testing and the benefits we gain from it15:23
carlossso I'm adding this as a topic to the retrospective as well, and hoping we all take some time to digest it and think about it before our discussion in the upcoming ptg15:25
gouthamrthat’s a good idea; we’ve just hoped that CI systems always enable the scenario tests to catch finer behavior that wouldn’t be in the territory of lightweight api tests, so this isn’t a new expectation..15:25
gouthamr+115:25
carlossawesome15:27
carlossthe next topic is15:27
carlossShare Server Replication Feature status15:27
carlossnot sure we have all interested and involved parties here, but the main reason I am bringing this up is to also note the intention to have the discussion about our processes around some of these huge features in the upcoming cycles15:28
carlossit's a great feature for customers, it's undeniable15:30
carlossand we should get it in as soon as we can - but at the same time we must look at this also in an angle of project maintainers and ensure we're doing the best for the long run15:31
carlossand also that we're not burning out our contributors while doing so15:31
carlossthat said, I think we can also take the time to think about it in the next weeks15:32
carlossand please add topics to the retrospective etherpad15:32
gouthamr+1, realistically I’d want us to wait until the final RC deadline to merge large patches - am okay waiting longer if folks want more time to review/discuss things15:33
carloss++15:34
gouthamrI’d also appreciate one or more dedicated code walkthroughs if we can schedule it, prior to PTG?15:34
kpdev_the Netapp driver part of feature has approvals earlier, we need more reviews on core PR for getting whole thing merged 15:35
gouthamrgireesh: Kumar_T sanketh kpdev - wdyt?15:35
Kumar_TMost of the comments were addressed on core patch already, there are couple of comments awaiting for your response.15:36
Kumar_Twould be helpful if you can review once15:37
carlossi need to revisit the changes again too - I also agree that we might benefit from another call to hash out details prior to or during ptg15:37
Kumar_TDriver related patches needs approval, all comments are addressed.15:38
carlossI'll follow-up on the patch, and let's see if we can meet in case needed15:39
carlossthat's all I had for $topic15:40
Kumar_TThanks carloss.15:40
carlosslet's jump to15:41
carloss#topic Review Focus15:41
carlossas we mentioned, we're avoiding to merge big features/patches before the final RC15:41
carlossis there a major issue you encountered while testing features in the recent weeks?15:41
carlossat this time, we're only talking release critical15:42
carlosstaking silence as no15:44

carlossalways nice to have some bugs merged15:47
carlossvhari: thank you for putting the numbers together15:47
vharicarloss, yw, indeed15:47
carlossthere was something that did not help much, which was the bugsquash dates colliding with feature freeze exceptions15:47
carlossmeaning people had their attention split15:48
carlossand we didn't get enough review quorum to make an even bigger impact15:48
carlossthat's also worth noting on the retrospective15:48
vhariack, if anyone is interested, post event contributions are welcomed : )15:49
