lajoskatonaanother one for Horizon, I try to check it this week to see the root cause13:24
haleyblajoskatona: ack, thanks. i don't exactly understand the failure case, it sounds familiar from a neutron perspective though13:25
lajoskatonayes, not fully clear what is the exact expectation and if it is realted to the SDK migration or something else13:27
haleybyeah, i wonder if it happens with just OSC and not horizon13:28
lajoskatonaI will check it13:28
haleybgreat13:29

lajoskatonaykarel: thanks13:29
haleybi'll look at old bugs later to see if there is a match13:30
lajoskatona+1 good idea13:30

haleyb#topic on-demand13:50
haleybthere was nothing on the agenda, but does anyone have a topic?13:50
fungii have something that i neglected to add to the agenda, but can punt to next week if there's not time13:51
haleybfungi: we have 9 minutes so think we have time13:51
fungi(not sure if on-demand is the same as open discussion, sorry)13:51
haleybyes, open discussion13:51
fungii'll try to be quick, but there's a lot we dug into... for some background on openstack-wide metrics analysis see ildikov's most recent ml post from about a month ago:13:51
fungi#link https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/message/NTBNI7YIDCWBR6BTPEKVZIODWTVUIOXO/ BtG metrics analysis13:51
fungialso could be worthwhile to revisit her previous post in that thread going over the contributor and maintainer survey results (and anyone who hasn't filled those out for epoxy, please see if you can find a few minutes to do that!)13:51
fungias a follow-up activity, we've started doing some team-specific analyses, focusing on teams that had multiple contributor and maintainer survey responses (already did nova, cinder, ironic, octavia and kolla in recent weeks)13:52
fungiwe're early in the process of analyzing these stats with a focus on improving the experience for maintainers and contributors, so for now this is probably a lot of stuff you already know, or at least confirming what you expected13:52
fungia big part of this is establishing a baseline so that we can better gauge whether future attempts at improving have any observable impact, but we aren't at the point where we have much in the way of guidance or recommendations yet13:52
fungiwe have plans to continue with this sort of surveying and metrics analysis over coming release cycles; as for the initial results...13:52
fungithe contributor survey had 3 responses for neutron and all respondents had contributed for at least two years and were contributors to at least two other open source projects13:52
fungifeedback was overwhelmingly positive (averages of 4-4.67 out of 5) with the highest score on "[contributor docs] You were able to find information about the processes the project team is using"13:52
fungilowest was a tie between getting timely reviews, test failures identifying problems with the contribution, and contributor docs helping apply better practices/achieve faster results13:52
fungithe top challenges reported were trouble with review attention or blanket rejection on changes for smaller/ancillary repositories, as well as an overall shortage of available reviewers (this one is pretty common across all the teams anyway)13:53
fungithe maintainer survey had only response so far, ranking 5 on everything except for a 4 on contributor documentation being up to date13:53
fungicontributing challenge reported by that maintainer was similar to those from the contributor survey (review attention), but also a need for specialist domain expertise in many parts of the code13:53
fungitop challenges with reviewing were a lack of familiarity with certain parts of the code base, and contributors not addressing review feedback or test failures in a timely manner13:53
fungiadditional feedback noted the stability of test jobs has been crumbling over time, with a lack of maintainer failiarity in the tests and a shortage of maintainers overall this poses a potential sustainability risk13:53
fungilooking at metrics we gathered from gerrit for the past 5 development cycles, review response was varied with faster results in the main repositories while things tended to sit more in the periphery13:54
fungiit's likely that the practice of closing changes when it's clear they're not going anywhere due to lack of reviews contributes to this, but in every cycle except one (bobcat) the team closed more changes than were open13:54
fungimetrics also indicated a steady shrinkage of reviewers, which supports survey responses on the subject13:54
fungisorry, i know that's a pretty big info dump (i tried to pare it down as much as possible), and i'm happy to answer questions or take feedback either here in the meeting or any time after13:54
haleybso the epoxy survey you mentioned at the beginning is13:55
haleyb#link https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/openstack_contributor_satisfaction_survey13:55
fungithere are two, the other is the maintainer survey, but yes13:55
haleyb#link https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/openstack_maintainer_satisfaction_survey13:56
haleybjust in case someone here has not seen them and wants to take them13:56
fungiyeah, it's hard to draw concrete conclusions with only a handful of responses so far, so more responses definitely help13:56
haleybfungi: is there a plan to dig deeper on neutron? i see you mentioned it had been done for other projects13:57
fungiand they're designed to be super quick (under 5-minute) surveys, though i guess you can take longer if you want to write a bunch in the freeform fields13:57
fungiwell, the summary above was the deep digging we did into neutron-specific responses and metrics so far. as much as anything the data we collected will serve as a baseline to compare future cycles against13:58
fungieach of the teams i mentioned, i attended one of their meetings and delivered a similar summarization13:58
fungiif there are specifics anyone's interested in, i can pull out more details as long as i keep things from the surveys properly anonymous13:59
fungihopefully the above is enough to get you thinking about what else you're curious to dig into though13:59
fungiand as i said i'm happy to answer more specific questions later when you have them14:00
haleybfungi: i'll have to look through the dump, and hopefully others do as well14:00
fungithat's all i had to present on the topic for now14:00
haleybit would be good to have some kind of action item to work if we see a deficiency14:01
haleybok, i have to call it as i have another meeting14:01
fungithanks!14:01
haleybthanks for attending everyone, and have a good week!14:01
