fungiyay! assuming the currently passing tc nominations get confirmed, we'll have enough for a runoff poll!13:13
fungilooks like there are 3 pending nominees to go along with the 3 already approved candidates13:14
fungiand quick math says that if these 6 are the only candidates on the ballot, then no matter which ones win we won't be at risk of exceeding 50% co-affiliation of seated members13:15
noonedeadpunksoundslike great news then!13:20
fungiand still 10 hours left for more people to put in nominations13:21

gmaantc-members: one of the TC member needs to volunteer for watcher DPL model https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958085/comment/20df22d1_649bb06a/15:33
chandankumarHello, I have sent this cr https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958085 to use DPL model for watcher project for 2026.1 release. We have a query, Under loasisons, email field needs to be the same email coming from ubuntuone account or work email will work?15:56
JayFI believe the email that matters is actually foundation membership email; like what you'd use to login to e.g. openstack.org 15:58
JayF(via the openinfraid)15:59
chandankumarJayF: ah, thank you!16:00
chandankumarLet me update my cr.16:00

gouthamrhmm, so i can just abandon https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956913 once we get a few acks on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/95808516:07

fungiJayF: chandankumar: what matters is that the address you use in your nomination is your "preferred" gerrit address and is added in any one of the three available address fields (primary, secondary, tertiary) in your foundation member profile16:23

opendevreviewTim Burke proposed openstack/election master: Tim Burke candidacy for Swift PTL (Gazpacho)  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/election/+/95800716:39
gmaantc-members: it seems some volunteer to maintain monasca https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671/comments/215ca9d1_6597600b16:50
gmaanmaybe we can give one more cycle to stay this project in inactive (means delay the retirement for one more cycle if no maintenance)16:51
gmaananyways, something to re-discuss/re-consider16:51
gouthamrack, I do want to understand their motivation and the amount of work they’re willing to do; the volunteer’s domain seems to be the same as the existing PTL.16:53
gouthamrperhaps it’s just someone else from the same org stepping in to keep the lights on a useful project - I tried to explain that this certainly needs a team to be sustainable16:54
gouthamrI wasn’t aware of the TC resolution discouraging using the “x” namespace, ty fungi… I did imagine it’s a graveyard to some extent16:55
clarkbya things ended up there when they didn't give us a better alternative when stuff moved out of openstack/16:55
gmaanyeah, moving to other namespace is only option when we retire the project from openstack16:55
fungitc resolution doesn't discourage use of the x/ namespace, it prevents moving repositories out of the openstack/ namespace16:55
gmaangouthamr: i did not know it is same domain/org but yes good to understand their direction and plan for this project16:56
fungiopendev discourages use of the x/ namespace, because new namespaces are free and projects should do a better job of grouping16:56
gmaananyways we are still in stage where we can give some time to them if they want but yes they should communicate/committed to plan and maintenance16:56
fungiso by openstack policy projects should fork to new copies and leave the retired ones in openstack/ behind as a tombstone. by opendev policy "new" projects should choose a descriptive namespace for themselves16:57
gmaanI commented on the repo cleanup change (only one) but maybe we can keep them WIP unless they started merging before this new volunteer show clear intension/plan 16:57
gouthamrah ack fungi clarkb 16:58
gmaanyeah, as per resolution, any openstack official deliverable has to stay in openstack/ namespace. 16:58
gmaanwe did a lot of cleanup in past for that and then I think assert also somewhere in job but not know where16:59
gouthamrgmaan: yes, i can do that.. the project-config change to end gating can be reverted; but i won't propose it unless this heads in that direction16:59
gmaangouthamr: ++ yeah, make sense. not to revert the retirement unless more clear intend and commitment from them. 17:00
fungiand the reason is older projects like fuel back when we moved them to other namespaces, the redirects made it hard for downstream consumers to realize they had ceased being part of openstack so kept coming to openstack with complaints when it was in its death throes17:00
fungiand users were oblivious to the fact that fuel was no longer part of openstack, even years after17:00
gmaangouthamr: that was one reason to split the project config change into two part so that project removal from infra should not happen before governance change is merged (governance change is something considered as official retirement and then cleanup in followup)17:01
gouthamr++17:05
fricklerfwiw my vote is to continue with the retirement, people can fork the project and maintain it outside of openstack if they want to. we have waited like 3? years for real contributions now, enough is enough17:16
JayF++17:19
JayFWe aren't the only place that projects can live, even projects that interact with us.17:19
gouthamrvalid point, do mention this on the change, frickler 17:32
gmaanwell, I am more of giving more time if new volunteer show up instead of showing us as 'not welcoming for new volunteer who want to maintain inactive projects'17:49
gmaanone of the main thing in retirement process is to ask/wait for new maintainers to come forward and discuss their plan, If anyone there we should give time/discuss with them17:51
gmaanand the current election, coming PTG is good way to see if they are committed to that or not17:51
gmaanand sometime we have be little more flexible for that instead of going by book/process17:53
gmaanfor me, that also falls under the "welcome new contributors" along with new contributors in existing active projects17:54
spotz[m]Still a few election patches to be merged in but looks like we might have a TC election20:28
JayFBetter than the previous trend.20:29
spotz[m]Yep and Horizon I believe needs an election as well20:30
JayFAnd I'm probably a little more proud than I should be that we actually herded the cats to keep ironic DPL without having to work too hard 😂20:30
fungiwork is hard. my profundity for the day20:34
