14:00:20 <priteau> Hello o/
14:00:43 <overload> Hi
14:01:16 <mkarpiarz> Hello!
14:02:03 <priteau> Let's wait a few minutes for more people to join
14:06:16 <priteau> I was hoping for more people. Well, let's get started.
14:06:28 <priteau> #topic Revival of the project
14:07:08 <priteau> If you're here it means you are interested in CloudKitty!
14:08:02 <priteau> Background: CloudKitty is the rating service for OpenStack
14:08:11 <priteau> It has historically been developed mostly by a French company called Objectif Libre
14:08:40 <priteau> Since March 2020 activity on the project stopped and there was a recent discussion about its status
14:08:56 <priteau> A few people volunteered to help, me included
14:09:16 <overload> +1
14:09:34 <priteau> The Technical Committee (TC) has given me the Project Team Leader (PTL) role for the Victoria release due to the inactivity of the previous PTL
14:10:24 <priteau> And there are new core reviewers: Luis Ramirez and Rafael Weingärtner
14:11:42 <priteau> The Objectif Libre CEO also said that they're working on getting someone from the company working on CloudKitty again
14:12:36 <priteau> I propose that we introduce ourselves and explain why we are interested in CloudKitty and how we plan to contribute to the project
14:12:43 <priteau> I'll start
14:13:27 <priteau> I am Pierre Riteau, I work as a software engineer at StackHPC, a Bristol-based cloud/HPC consultancy (though I am based in France)
14:13:44 <priteau> I contribute to several OpenStack projects already such as Blazar and Kayobe
14:14:10 <priteau> I've started working with CloudKitty about a year ago
14:14:26 <priteau> I've deployed it for several of our customers, using different configurations
14:14:40 <priteau> 1) Ceilometer + Gnocchi
14:14:47 <priteau> 2) Ceilometer + Monasca
14:14:56 <priteau> 3) Prometheus exporters + Monasca
14:15:04 <priteau> So I am interested in all of those :-)
14:15:46 <priteau> I plan to contribute to the project by making sure we have a Victoria release that is stable, hopefully with a few improvements as well.
14:16:23 <priteau> LuisRmz: can you introduce yourself?
14:16:27 <LuisRmz> Sure...
14:16:47 <LuisRmz> I'm Luis Ramirez from Madrid, Spain. I've been involved in OpenSource projects from 1997 and involved in the OSF from 2011.
14:17:47 <LuisRmz> I'm Cloud Solutions Architect with many other tasks in OpenCloud.es
14:18:53 <LuisRmz> Deploying OS world wide for many customers and involved in OS ansible & OS charmed
14:19:51 <priteau> Are you planning to work on the CloudKitty code base itself or focus more on packaging?
14:19:52 <LuisRmz> My frist aproach to CloudKitty was close to 1 year ago too
14:20:10 <LuisRmz> If I can manage right,,, both
14:20:19 <priteau> Cool :-)
14:20:54 <LuisRmz> I've almost ready the charm for CloudKittym but need to be updated for the last releases
14:21:48 <LuisRmz> I'm also involved in many other OS-Ansible projects & developing more charms for others projects not covered like vpp
14:22:22 <LuisRmz> That means that I don't spend so much time sleeping :D
14:22:50 <priteau> Have you deployed CloudKitty in production clouds or just testing it for now?
14:23:33 <LuisRmz> in production on queens & train releases for several customers
14:24:32 <LuisRmz> with Ceilomter + Gnocchi & Prometheus exporters + Monasca too
14:24:53 <priteau> Nice!
14:25:18 <priteau> Thanks Luis
14:25:24 <priteau> And what about you mkarpiarz?
14:26:22 <mkarpiarz> Hi. Mariusz Karpiarz here. I work for vScaler (UK-based, https://www.vscaler.com/our-history/).
14:27:50 <mkarpiarz> We're deploying CloudKitty in a POC for one of our clients so whilst doing this I hope I can also help with the project in some limited capacity.
14:29:58 <priteau> That would be great. Even if you don't contribute code, feedback about issues, documentation, etc. are very valuable
14:31:34 <priteau> I was hoping to see Rafael Weingärtner at this meeting
14:31:46 <priteau> He's been active on Gerrit, reviewing and merging patches
14:32:40 <priteau> So now that we all know each other, here is what I would like to discuss today:
14:32:43 <priteau> * Priorities for the Victoria release
14:32:47 <priteau> * Wallaby PTG plans
14:33:04 <priteau> #topic Priorities for the Victoria release
14:33:23 <priteau> In case you are not familiar with the OpenStack release schedule
14:33:40 <priteau> Victoria is the current release undergoing development
14:33:50 <priteau> Here's the schedule:
14:33:52 <priteau> #link https://releases.openstack.org/victoria/schedule.html
14:34:33 <priteau> The important dates are:
14:34:53 <priteau> Next week: Final release for non-client libraries
14:35:03 <priteau> I am not sure if any CloudKitty deliverable is concerned
14:35:26 <priteau> September 10: Feature freeze and final release for client libraries
14:35:52 <priteau> So in theory we should merge any new feature planned for Victoria by September 10
14:36:01 <priteau> We should also release python-cloudkittyclient
14:36:18 <priteau> Then September 24 is RC1
14:36:33 <priteau> And October 15 is final release
14:37:07 <priteau> As such I think the priorities are:
14:37:20 <priteau> Review any outstanding patches on python-cloudkittyclient
14:37:23 <priteau> https://review.opendev.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/python-cloudkittyclient+branch:master
14:37:37 <priteau> It's mostly code maintenance, nothing complex
14:38:38 <priteau> Review any new feature in cloudkitty itself: https://review.opendev.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/cloudkitty+branch:master
14:39:16 <priteau> One that is particularly interesting for me is the Monasca Fetcher: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/687022/
14:39:39 <priteau> There are also some changes to the prometheus collector, but I've never used it
14:40:08 <priteau> If you want to contribute, the best way is to review some of these patches
14:40:25 <priteau> Any comment?
14:40:42 <LuisRmz> Agree! Sounds like a good plan
14:41:02 <LuisRmz> the only point is that we're really close to the dead line dates
14:41:21 <LuisRmz> so we need to try to be active as much as possible
14:42:22 <priteau> We've been making some progress over the past week, but there's more to do of course
14:42:46 <priteau> I am busy with a work project until Friday but then should have more time to focus on CloudKitty
14:44:39 <priteau> #topic Wallaby PTG plans
14:44:52 <priteau> The next release after Victoria is called Wallaby
14:45:39 <priteau> The Project Teams Gathering (PTG) for Wallaby is scheduled for the last week of October
14:45:55 <priteau> We have to announce if we want to meet as the CloudKitty team
14:46:10 <priteau> (it's remote of course)
14:46:55 <priteau> I think it would be very useful, to make a solid plan for Wallaby (we started too late during the Victoria cycle to change anything important)
14:47:32 <priteau> One caveat though: I won't be able to join this PTG at all, so I am looking for a volunteer to organise the session(s)
14:48:34 <LuisRmz> Do you mean the PTG for Wallaby?
14:49:32 <priteau> Yes, the PTG for Wallaby: https://www.openstack.org/ptg
14:49:37 <priteau> October 26-30, 2020
14:52:07 <priteau> I'll also ask Rafael if he plans to join the PTG
14:53:21 <priteau> There's still some time to think about it: we must complete BOTH the survey AND reserve time in the ethercalc by September 11th at 7:00 UTC.
14:53:31 <LuisRmz> Count on me if Rafael is not able to do it!
14:53:40 <priteau> Thank you LuisRmz!
14:54:24 <priteau> #topic AOB
14:54:34 <priteau> Anything else to share today?
14:55:03 <openstackgerrit> Merged openstack/python-cloudkittyclient master: Fix pygments style  https://review.opendev.org/729504
14:57:41 <priteau> I guess not? Let's wrap up then
14:57:50 <priteau> Thank you both for joining
14:58:03 <priteau> I'll follow up on the mailing list to ask about plans for the PTG
14:58:11 <LuisRmz> ok.. great!
14:58:39 <priteau> Next IRC meeting is in two weeks, September 7, same time
14:58:42 <priteau> same place
14:58:50 <priteau> bye!
