14:03:28 <whoami-rajat> good turnout, let's get started
14:03:32 <whoami-rajat> #topic announcements
14:03:37 <whoami-rajat> first, Midcycle 2 on 23rd August 1400-1600 UTC
14:03:43 <whoami-rajat> #link https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-August/034748.html
14:04:14 <whoami-rajat> as discussed last week, we are planning to conduct midcycle-2 next week
14:04:37 <whoami-rajat> till now i haven't received any concerns but if there are, feel free to reply on the mailing thread
14:04:48 <whoami-rajat> else we will continue to go with the scheduled date and time
14:04:51 <jayaanand> need review for 890818: [NetApp] LUN space allocation support for iSCSI | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/890818
14:04:58 <jayaanand> updated etherpad
14:05:40 <whoami-rajat> jayaanand, we can discuss that in the open discussion part of the meeting (towards the end)
14:05:55 <jayaanand> sure, Thank you!
14:05:58 <whoami-rajat> np
14:06:10 <whoami-rajat> #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-bobcat-midcycles
14:06:18 <whoami-rajat> this is the etherpad for the midcycle
14:06:26 <jayaanand> ok
14:06:27 <whoami-rajat> please add your topics, we still have a week's time
14:06:56 <whoami-rajat> another thing related to this is Festival of XS reviews
14:07:34 <jungleboyj> Not sure if this impacts anyone else, but next week is VMware Explore.
14:07:50 <jungleboyj> But if no one has said anything, I am guessing it is just me then.  :-)
14:08:11 <whoami-rajat> ah, anyone here planning to attend the VMware Explore event?
14:09:45 <whoami-rajat> guess not, sorry jungleboyj for the conflict if you are planning to attend it
14:10:06 <jungleboyj> Yeah, I have to be at that event.  So, sorry for the conflict.
14:10:21 <rosmaita> jungleboyj: we blame VMware
14:10:32 <jungleboyj> LOL
14:11:17 <whoami-rajat> it is going to be recorded so we should be good
14:12:28 <whoami-rajat> so a lot of redhatters (which has a big overlap with the upstream group) are not going to be around this friday
14:12:43 <whoami-rajat> also the midcycle agenda as of now is looking very light
14:12:52 <whoami-rajat> so we are planning to combine the two events
14:13:33 <whoami-rajat> so this friday we won't have the festival of reviews
14:13:51 <whoami-rajat> I will reply the same to the midcycle thread after the meeting
14:15:25 <whoami-rajat> moving to the next announcement
14:15:27 <whoami-rajat> PTL + TC nominations
14:15:32 <whoami-rajat> #link https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-August/034744.html
14:16:11 <whoami-rajat> the nomination for PTL and TC candidates has started from today
14:16:12 <whoami-rajat> PTL + TC nomination starts   @ Aug 16, 2023 23:45 UTC
14:16:12 <whoami-rajat> PTL + TC nomination ends     @ Aug 30, 2023 23:45 UTC
14:16:21 <whoami-rajat> it will go on for 2 weeks
14:16:47 <whoami-rajat> It's still not finalized from my end if I'm going to run again but if anyone feels like running for the PTL, feel free to contact me
14:17:25 <whoami-rajat> I can share my experience and guide you through the responsibilities
14:18:45 <whoami-rajat> next, 2024.1 proposed runtimes
14:18:51 <whoami-rajat> #link https://492c0e14580207d3137a-fae58b9e5b5334364b7bbd906acbdb71.ssl.cf5.rackcdn.com/891225/2/check/openstack-tox-docs/e628821/docs/reference/runtimes/2024.1.html
14:19:06 <whoami-rajat> the patch is still not merged so sharing the generated html link
14:19:18 <whoami-rajat> major changes in runtime is
14:19:19 <whoami-rajat> Debian 12 - py3.11
14:19:19 <whoami-rajat> Ubuntu 22.04 - py3.10
14:20:23 <whoami-rajat> next, Releasenotes for non-SLURP and SLURP releases
14:20:28 <whoami-rajat> #link https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/release-management.html#release-notes-for-slurp-releases
14:21:18 <whoami-rajat> rosmaita proposed this document for the SLURP and non-SLURP releasenotes which is easy to follow along
14:21:44 <whoami-rajat> i think it's intended for the PTL but just so others know what to look for in the upcoming release notes
14:22:02 <whoami-rajat> as i understand from the document, here are the changes required for slurp and non-slurp releases
14:22:02 <whoami-rajat> non-SLURP: create a static file right after the release (2023.2)
14:22:03 <whoami-rajat> SLURP: Add a link to the previous non-SLURP release notes (static file) in the prelude section
14:22:33 <rosmaita> yeah, i am supposed to be working on automating that, but haven't got anything together yet
14:24:04 <whoami-rajat> i think the efforts required are pretty minimal and needs to be done once a release
14:24:18 <whoami-rajat> the main thing is we should not forget to do it, else everything looks good
14:24:43 <rosmaita> yeah, if i don't get the automation done, i will at least send out reminders!
14:26:09 <whoami-rajat> that would be great
14:26:32 <whoami-rajat> final announcement, Upcoming deadlines
14:26:38 <whoami-rajat> os-brick release: August 24th, 2023 (R-6 week)
14:26:38 <whoami-rajat> cinderclient release: August 31st, 2023 (R-5 week)
14:26:38 <whoami-rajat> Feature freeze (M-3): August 31st, 2023 (R-5 week)
14:26:38 <whoami-rajat> Final 2023.2 Bobcat release: October 4th, 2023
14:26:53 <whoami-rajat> so please finalize your os-brick, cinderclient and feature changes
14:27:00 <whoami-rajat> since those are the main review targets for next couple of weeks
14:28:14 <whoami-rajat> we have a couple of patches in os-brick that would benefit from reviews
14:28:15 <whoami-rajat> https://review.opendev.org/q/project:openstack/os-brick+status:open+branch:master
14:28:27 <whoami-rajat> i will try to create an etherpad for the patches that we should target for the release
14:30:29 <whoami-rajat> that's all the announcements
14:30:34 <whoami-rajat> let's move to topics
14:30:42 <whoami-rajat> #topic cinder-plugin-ceph-tempest job failing since 11 August
14:30:44 <whoami-rajat> rosmaita, that's you
14:30:59 <rosmaita> ok, topic title says it all
14:31:12 <rosmaita> i believe this patch to cinderlib will fix it:
14:31:21 <rosmaita> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinderlib/+/891513
14:32:13 <rosmaita> the gates are in a terrible state these days
14:33:16 <whoami-rajat> rosmaita, thanks for fixing that, do we know how this dependency got introduced?
14:34:01 <rosmaita> no, i looked at our handy requirements dashboard (line 83 on the agenda etherpad) but nothing changed since 11 august
14:34:37 <rosmaita> must be that one of our requirements requirements changed something and etcd3gw isn't loaded any more
14:35:09 <rosmaita> cinderlib mostly relies on cinder's requirements.txt
14:35:18 <rosmaita> and cinder doesn't ask for the tooz extra
14:36:16 <rosmaita> or something changed in devstack maybe, because this only shows up in the devstack-based jobs, the straight cinderlib-functional tests don't run into this issue
14:39:18 <whoami-rajat> ok, yeah i think it was being indirectly installed from somewhere which isn't the case now so good to have it in cinderlib's requirements
14:39:29 <whoami-rajat> +2ed, need another core to merge
14:39:48 <jungleboyj> whoami-rajat:  I will do.
14:39:55 <rosmaita> thanks!
14:39:57 <eharney> is etcd3gw the only lock backend used for the tests?
14:40:01 <whoami-rajat> thanks jungleboyj
14:40:23 <eharney> or, is it used at all?
14:40:38 <rosmaita> eharney: i don't really know
14:42:08 <eharney> seems like we should be using file locks and this shouldn't cause a failure, but whatever gets it to pass for now is fine
14:43:08 <whoami-rajat> not sure either
14:43:27 <whoami-rajat> that's all the topics we had for today
14:43:31 <whoami-rajat> let's move to open discussion
14:43:35 <whoami-rajat> #topic open discussion
14:45:30 <msaravan> @rajat and others - do we need a blue print for this patch ? https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/886869
14:46:27 <msaravan> There was one blueprint present long back, and we have implemented it for NetApp only now. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/cinder-volume-active-active-support
14:46:37 <whoami-rajat> blueprints are generally good to have for tracking changes
14:46:38 <msaravan> So, wanted to know whether we need a new blueprinit for active-active support for netapp data ontap systems.
14:47:15 <msaravan> Okay, its very driver specific.  Will register a blueprint for this;
14:47:17 <msaravan> thank you;
14:47:41 <whoami-rajat> this change is pretty minimal and driver specific so maybe we can give it a pass
14:47:56 <msaravan> thank you :-)
14:47:56 <whoami-rajat> would like to know what others think about it
14:49:02 <jungleboyj> whoami-rajat:  I think given that it is pretty small and driver specific we don't have to have the blueprint.
14:49:19 <jbernard> i think the contained nature of adding support for an already defined feature, it's okay for no blueprint (personally)
14:49:56 <jungleboyj> Also it has reference to a spec for the implementation in the commit.
14:50:00 <jungleboyj> It should be good.
14:50:14 <whoami-rajat> ok, thanks for the inputs
14:50:23 <whoami-rajat> msaravan, looks like the patch is good and doesn't require a BP
14:50:57 <msaravan> Okay, thank you whoami-rajat jungleboyj jbernard
14:55:25 <jungleboyj> Any concerns with me just merging that whoami-rajat then?
14:56:33 <whoami-rajat> jungleboyj, do you mean the netapp patch? no concerns just it's dependent on a bunch of other fixes
14:57:18 <jungleboyj> Ah, I missed that.  Ok.  I added my +2.  :-)
14:57:40 <whoami-rajat> thanks jungleboyj
14:57:59 <msaravan> thank you jungleboyj whoami-rajat
14:58:04 <whoami-rajat> we are almost at the end of the hour
14:58:18 <msaravan> we need help in other pending reviews as well, they are captured at https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-bobcat-meetings
14:58:32 <whoami-rajat> sure msaravan
14:58:37 <whoami-rajat> please take a look at the review requests
14:59:13 <whoami-rajat> thanks everyone for joining
