Or Unicode characters? 15:45:29 <gouthamr> we should ask if they have access to the CLI, and if they can give us an output of “openstack share type list” as admin to check; and also horizon logs 15:46:36 <carloss> ++ 15:46:49 <vhari_> ack gouthamr 15:47:19 <vhari_> so if no other discussions .. let's wrap bugs for today :) 15:47:30 <carloss> ack, thanks vhari_ 15:47:42 <carloss> #topic Open Discussion 15:48:45 <carloss> gouthamr: good idea on having the stable branches reviews in a meeting 15:49:11 <carloss> initially, it'd happen during today's meeting 15:49:17 <carloss> but I was chatting with gouthamr earlier today and we could use some more time to prep 15:50:13 <gouthamr> yeah especially in light of some post PTG updates to stable branch maintenance 15:50:13 <gouthamr> #link https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/ZYAZG43BLJJVXCYZVPYQX5733BYDVVNL/ ('Unmaintained' branch update) 15:51:18 <gouthamr> #link https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/SYPTRTPUNWZFJNSL2PEYK4NX67RQ5LLW/ (Yoga - final release before branch becomes unmaintained) 15:52:47 <gouthamr> currently, we have too many stable branches open.. and the intent here is to transition a bunch of them to EOL and close them because of how degraded the maintenance on those branches has become 15:53:25 <gouthamr> i wrote a backport policy doc that needs some updates too: 15:53:36 <gouthamr> #link https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20230724-unmaintained-branches.html (TC resolution - 2023-07-24 Unmaintained status replaces Extended Maintenance) 15:55:33 <gouthamr> so some we'll have to do: merge all pending patches to train and prior; and indicate that we're okay to move those branches to EOL --- which means, the branches will be deleted on git/gerrit, and no more changes can be proposed 15:56:13 <gouthamr> sorry, i meant to type: "ussuri" and prior 15:57:05 <gouthamr> we must make our own decision to keep victoria, wallaby, xena in "unmaintained" status -- i.e., open for bugfixes 15:57:21 <gouthamr> but with considerably less CI investment 15:58:27 <carloss> yeah, that makes a lot of sense... we can do some CI cleanup too after that 15:58:41 <gouthamr> i for one will work to keep stable/wallaby (and stable/xena) around for a little longer.... but i've no qualms with us transitioning everything older to EOL 15:59:00 <carloss> > but i've no qualms with us transitioning everything older to EOL 15:59:00 <carloss> ++ 15:59:47 <gouthamr> but we can discuss here, or on the ML if anyone has different thoughts 16:00:10 <gouthamr> here = #openstack-manila ; it looks like we're out of time for this meeting :) 16:00:21 <carloss> yep 16:00:27 <carloss> thanks for bringing this up gouthamr :D 16:00:52 <carloss> let's continue in #openstack-manila in case someone would like to share some more thoughts 16:00:57 <carloss> thank you everyone for attending 16:01:07 <carloss> have a great day! :D 16:01:11 <carloss> #endmeeting
