fricklerfungi: thx for the update, some more things I note there: the last sentence still mentions OpenStackID, should be OpenInfraID? also the affiliation section on the profile page says "paid to work on OpenStack", that likely also should be generalized?09:36

fungifrickler: great points, i'll pass those along14:12
fungiJayF: out of curiosity, do all ironic devs get to vote for the metal3 project leadership too? since ironic is integral to their project it would only make sense15:00
JayFI think that's actually not a good comparison; Metal3 decisions don't directly impact Ironic15:33
JayFwhereas they are completely reliant on us for implementation of features15:33
JayF(for purposes of this discussion I'm convieniently ignoring that 99.9999% of the time the contributor on both sides is the same person)15:33
fungiah, right, so it would be more that metal3 contributors should get to vote for openstack leadership and not the other way around15:55
fungii guess the anaolgy i'm looking for is whether nova developers should get to vote for libvirt leaders then15:55
fungisince libvirt decisions potentially impact nova work15:56
JayFI think ... should is a strong word16:01
JayFMy proposed idea is more along the lines of inviting people into the tent16:01
JayFI don't think we have any ethical/moral responsibility to do so; it's just nice to do.16:02
fungigot it16:09
clarkbfwiw I think that the existing invitation of contributing -> having a vote seems reasonable. That said I agree that we probably don't capture all of the contributors doing things like translations very well. It isn't like external groups can't provide feedback through issues, the mailing list, specs and so on.16:11
clarkband some of those activities can lead to formal recognition that enables voting16:12
-opendevstatus- NOTICE: Gerrit on review.opendev.org will experience a short outage while we upgrade it to 3.11.817:50
JayFit's a really, really good point that if we orient "AC" correctly, we'll catch the crossovers already engaging in the community17:56
JayFthat's a nice perspective17:56
gmaanon same line, all operators/end users comes into my mind which are impacted by leadership decision directly or indirectly or maybe openinfra membership companies?18:02
fungithat was the argument for renaming atc to ac after the tc absorbed the uc, so ac was in theory supposed to be the union of atc and auc folks18:04
fungibut in practice, none of the traditionally auc constituents got folded into any automated ac identification process, on the expectation that formerly auc voters would get added via the extra ac mechanism18:05
gmaanexactly. its it still technical election and TC is a leadership who does not only control governance part but take technical decision also. I feel including adjacent/dependent OSS/lib in election seems little out of scope for voting. yes, anyone contributing via ML, feedback etc are valid one18:07
gmaanthat is what TC charter covers https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html#voters-for-tc-seats-ac18:07
gmaanone good example is 'Bug triaging not tracked in Gerrit'18:08
gmaanI think it projects side we are getting less proposal for exytra-acs for people doing all these less visible contribution. If they propose then TC charter covers it to include them as extra-acs 18:09
gouthamrneed to remind PTLs/DPLs unfortunately - this became something of tribal knowledge unfortunately18:33
gouthamralso, i don't like that we're maintaining the ACs in projects.yaml .. maybe if it were closer to their code base, it'd make sense - it'd be hard to pull the data from all over the place, but, the TC needing to approve ACs seems a bit bureaucratic 18:35
fungichanging that will definitely need a charter revision though18:37
gouthamryes18:37
fungi(aside from new tracking automation/workflows obviously)18:37
gouthamrokay this brainstorming is helping me, keep it coming.. i want to revive/strengthen formal recognition within our community for invisible/unsung work... time and again we've shown intention to do that, but, we are extremely busy and have processes that we keep up with that kinda relegates this to an afterthought.. being able to vote in elections is just one part of it18:40
gouthamrsean-k-mooney: fungi: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/823538 was actioned by LP admins 18:56
gouthamryou may have already seen notifications18:56
* gouthamr probably slowed this down with the typo in the team name 18:56
gouthamrhttps://launchpad.net/~cyborg-team is owned by openstack-admins for correctness as we discussed18:57
fungithanks!18:58
sean-k-mooneygouthamr: yep i was looking at the emails thansk for taking care of that and yes cyborg-team is teh name of the team that is set as teh drivers and mainainer of the lauchpad project rather then "cybrog-drivers" as the team name19:10
sean-k-mooneyso they updated the correct one.19:10
gouthamrack, good stuff19:10
sean-k-mooneyone thing we need to confirm is that openstack-administors shoudl have the amdinistrato status https://launchpad.net/~cyborg-team/+members19:11
sean-k-mooneyor at least that as an owner it can grant that when needed19:11
gouthamryeah, that's how it works with the other teams, openstack-admin doesn't need to be in the team, just owning it allows it to add/boot anyone and manage things19:13
fungicorrect19:33
fungitechnically speaking, if e.g. the nova ptl asks me to make changes to the nova project on lp, i use the openstack-admins ownership of the drivers team to add myself to the drivers team temporarily, which then gives me access to make changes to things the drivers team owns19:35
fungiowning a team doesn't automatically and transitively grant control over things the team owns19:35
gouthamrah, i didn't know that part about the sausage19:36
fungiit's more of an implementation detail. from a practical standpoint it's mostly irrelevant19:37
spotz[m]Ok I think I have caught up on this channel at least at a high level:)21:56
fungithat makes one of us21:56
spotz[m]I said high level:)21:57
*** gmaan is now known as gmaan_afk22:46
