14:03:26 <whoami-rajat> hello everyone
14:03:35 <whoami-rajat> let's get started
14:03:39 <whoami-rajat> #topic announcements
14:03:45 <whoami-rajat> first, Cycle highlights for 2023.2 (Bobcat)
14:03:53 <whoami-rajat> #link https://releases.openstack.org/bobcat/highlights.html#cinder
14:04:04 <whoami-rajat> the highlights for cinder (and other projects) is up
14:04:53 <happystacker> hello
14:05:09 <whoami-rajat> we have a good amount of features, fixes, etc this cycle
14:05:10 <whoami-rajat> thanks everyone for all your contributions
14:05:42 <whoami-rajat> next, RC1 for cinder
14:05:46 <whoami-rajat> #link https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-September/035027.html
14:06:04 <whoami-rajat> the patch for RC1 is up, I've updated the hash to point it to the latest commit
14:06:23 <whoami-rajat> I don't think we have any release critical patches as of now
14:06:41 <whoami-rajat> the release seems pretty stable and bug fixes after RC1 can be backported
14:06:44 <whoami-rajat> so not an issue there
14:06:58 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/894649
14:07:35 <jungleboyj> o/
14:07:41 <happystacker> We do have a few patches pending approval for bobcat, would it be possible to have them into Bobcat still?
14:07:49 <simondodsley> same here
14:08:24 <whoami-rajat> happystacker, simondodsley is it in the review request section?
14:08:48 <happystacker> Yes it is
14:08:56 <simondodsley> yes
14:12:36 <whoami-rajat> happystacker, simondodsley ack, I've created this etherpad and added one patch as a sample, please add the ones you would like to prioritize
14:12:39 <whoami-rajat> #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-bobcat-rc-patches
14:12:55 <whoami-rajat> it seems hard to make it into RC1 but we can surely target it for RC2
14:14:19 <happystacker> ok
14:14:41 <whoami-rajat> thanks for bringing that up
14:14:46 <whoami-rajat> so moving on
14:14:52 <whoami-rajat> next, 2024.1 (Caracal) PTG Planning
14:15:01 <whoami-rajat> #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/caracal-ptg-cinder-planning
14:15:14 <whoami-rajat> I've created this planning etherpad for the upcoming 2024.1 (Caracal) PTG
14:15:36 <whoami-rajat> it's going to be held from 23-27 October
14:15:54 <whoami-rajat> we still have more than a month left but no harm in starting the planning early
14:16:09 <whoami-rajat> if you have topics for the upcoming PTG, please add it to the planning etherpad
14:16:41 <whoami-rajat> after that i will arrange them into our main etherpad day wise
14:17:53 <whoami-rajat> i will send an email later today or tomorrow but this is just a heads up to start planning for the PTG
14:18:09 <whoami-rajat> next, PTL/TC Elections
14:18:37 <whoami-rajat> #link https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-September/034995.html
14:18:51 <whoami-rajat> so now the poll is open for PTL/TC elections
14:19:03 <whoami-rajat> last date to vote is 20th september so please cast your vote before that
14:19:12 <whoami-rajat> voting link
14:19:13 <whoami-rajat> #link https://civs1.civs.us/cgi-bin/opt_in.pl
14:20:07 <whoami-rajat> finally we have some upcoming milestones
14:20:14 <whoami-rajat> RC1 deadline: September 14 (R-3 week)
14:20:14 <whoami-rajat> Final RC deadline: September 28 (R-1 week)
14:20:14 <whoami-rajat> Final 2023.2 Bobcat release: October 4
14:20:55 <whoami-rajat> that's all from my side for the announcements
14:21:09 <whoami-rajat> anyone has anything else to announce?
14:22:41 <whoami-rajat> guess not
14:22:49 <whoami-rajat> let's move to topics
14:23:03 <whoami-rajat> #topic What ever happended to the "new" quota system?
14:23:17 <whoami-rajat> I guess crohmann is not around this week as well
14:23:35 <whoami-rajat> a quick update on that would be, I'm planning to work on it next cycle
14:23:50 <whoami-rajat> but the effort could span across to more than 1 cycle
14:24:11 <whoami-rajat> so it's not guaranteed that we will be able to close it in caracal but hopefully make some progress there
14:24:14 <whoami-rajat> if that's helpful
14:24:16 <eharney> cool
14:24:25 <happystacker> awesome
14:24:39 <happystacker> If I can be of any help, let me know
14:25:10 <whoami-rajat> sure, thanks!
14:25:41 <whoami-rajat> i guess that was it for the topic
14:25:50 <whoami-rajat> next one is again by crohmann
14:25:54 <whoami-rajat> #topic Implementation of merged spec to externalize backup_status
14:26:18 <whoami-rajat> The ask here is if anyone is planning to work on it during the 2024.1 (Caracal) cycle
14:26:23 <whoami-rajat> any takers?
14:27:15 <zaitcev> Not me. I need to focus on backup performance with S3 and backup backends used together.
14:27:47 <whoami-rajat> zaitcev, sounds good, does that have an existing spec or you are planning to propose a new spec?
14:29:16 <whoami-rajat> anyway, i think that was also an ask from crohmann but we can evaluate that later in the PTG
14:29:22 <zaitcev> For performance, I'm using this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1918119
14:29:38 <zaitcev> it's not a feature, so no spec
14:29:55 <zaitcev> for two back-ends I am not sure.
14:30:11 <whoami-rajat> ok
14:31:06 <whoami-rajat> sounds good, thanks for your efforts on cinder backups
14:31:23 <whoami-rajat> let's see if we get any takers during PTG
14:31:33 <whoami-rajat> for now i guess no one in this meeting is planning to work on that feature
14:31:49 <whoami-rajat> that feature = Spec to introduce new backup_status field for volume
14:32:02 <jbernard> whoami-rajat: what is the link?
14:32:11 <whoami-rajat> jbernard, https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-specs/+/868761
14:32:29 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-specs/+/868761
14:33:11 <jbernard> whoami-rajat: im interested possibly, count me as a maybe
14:34:28 <happystacker> If I can help in any way, you can count on me as a maybe as well
14:34:52 <whoami-rajat> jbernard, great, I've added your name to the topic (as a maybe), you can contact crohmann for more info around this (as he has mentioned in the topic itself)
14:34:55 <jbernard> happystacker: maybe we can work on it together, will sync later
14:35:07 <happystacker> ok jbernard
14:36:56 <whoami-rajat> i think that's all for this topic
14:37:00 <whoami-rajat> last topic for today
14:37:02 <whoami-rajat> #topic Patches for a current round of stable release is posted and awaiting review
14:37:25 <whoami-rajat> I've already reviewed the patches and it also has a +2 from a release core
14:37:39 <whoami-rajat> since it doesn't concern the team, i guess i can consider it resolved?
14:38:08 <jbernard> i think so, i just wanted to raise awareness in case someone needed a patch considered for a stable release
14:38:33 <whoami-rajat> jbernard, ah ok, got it
14:38:52 <happystacker> We still have Zuul complaining for a few patches
14:38:56 <whoami-rajat> i was thinking in terms of reviewing the stable branch patches, but looks like it does concern the team
14:39:05 <happystacker> I kept on rechecking but no success so far
14:39:20 <whoami-rajat> so anyone has pending stable branch patches that they would like to get in into the stable releases
14:39:29 <whoami-rajat> happystacker, is that happening on stable branches?
14:39:54 <happystacker> yes
14:39:59 <happystacker> this one for example https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/887081
14:40:13 <happystacker> I saw a few more yesterday
14:40:50 <whoami-rajat> that patch is in master
14:40:52 <happystacker> but haven't the time yet to recheck
14:40:59 <happystacker> oh yes master sorry
14:41:05 <whoami-rajat> so we can discuss the gate failures in open discussion
14:41:10 <happystacker> ok
14:41:11 <whoami-rajat> right now the topic is about stable branches
14:41:33 <whoami-rajat> jbernard, wanted to know if someone has any patches they would like to get in into the proposed stable releases
14:43:14 <whoami-rajat> if there are, leaving a comment on the release patches proposed
14:43:23 <whoami-rajat> else we can go ahead with releasing the branches as it is
14:44:14 <whoami-rajat> that's all the topics we had for today
14:44:18 <whoami-rajat> let's move to open discussion
14:44:22 <whoami-rajat> #topic open discussion
14:44:54 <whoami-rajat> happystacker, we have an on going problem with gate failures due to certain jobs OOMing or timing out
14:45:07 <happystacker> Indeed
14:45:27 <eharney> 887081 is an nfs fix and the nfs job is the only one that failed...
14:45:28 <whoami-rajat> I remember we proposed a patch to reduce concurrency in tempest, not sure if tosky has any luck on that one
14:45:35 <drencrom> I'd like a review on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/868485, I think it needs another +2
14:46:07 <happystacker> ok so no other solution than rechecking it?
14:46:12 <eharney> the tempest test that failed is one i'm not too familiar with, but it looks related
14:46:14 <tosky> whoami-rajat: that received some pushback (also a related patch in glance) so I'm thinking about abandoning them and it will be sadly someone's else problem
14:46:32 <eharney> i think we need to verify that the patch isn't causing a real failure...
14:46:58 <happystacker> I don't see any error related directly to the patch or at least it's not obvious
14:47:02 <whoami-rajat> tosky, oh, that's bad, we might need another way to tackle the issue then, which I'm not sure what is ...
14:49:45 <akawai> How are the patches, which have not merged yet are in Bobcat's feature lists? Do the patches still have a chance to merge into Bobcat by Sep 14th?
14:51:33 <whoami-rajat> akawai, sorry but there is no way to include them in the current cycle, they will be moved to the next cycle
14:51:42 <whoami-rajat> surely we can target them for early next cycle
14:52:05 <akawai> I see.
14:53:11 <whoami-rajat> I'm planning to improve the review situation so we don't face similar bandwidth issues in future (hopefully)
14:53:52 <akawai> nice
14:59:33 <whoami-rajat> we are out of time
14:59:38 <whoami-rajat> thanks everyone for joining
