15:01:19 <jayaanand> hi
15:01:22 <gireesh> hi
15:02:54 <carthaca> hi
15:03:47 <carloss_> o/ hello everyone
15:04:07 <carloss_> a bunch of things to go through today :)
15:04:12 <carloss_> let's get started
15:04:17 <carloss_> #link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Manila/Meetings#Next_meeting (Meeting agenda)
15:04:36 <carloss_> #topic Announcements
15:04:51 <carloss_> so, this is feature freeze week
15:05:02 <carloss_> #link https://releases.openstack.org/caracal/schedule.html (Caracal release schedule)
15:05:29 <carloss_> https://releases.openstack.org/caracal/schedule.html#feature-freeze
15:05:37 <carloss_> and this is also the date of the final release for clients
15:06:10 <carloss_> we'll go over the changes in a few
15:06:24 <carloss_> but essentially, all features should be merged by EOW
15:06:38 <carloss_> we can discuss exceptions :)
15:07:12 <carloss_> next bit of announcement is the PTG:
15:07:26 <carloss_> #link https://openinfra.dev/ptg/ (PTG registration)
15:07:38 <carloss_> we are ~1 month away from the 2024.2 PTG
15:08:30 <carloss_> so I would definitely recommend you to register if you are willing to participate
15:08:49 <carloss_> it will be online and there is no fee for the ticket, as usual
15:09:13 <carloss_> and in the same lines of PTG, we have our planning etherpad available now:
15:09:14 <carloss_> #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/dalmatian-ptg-manila-planning
15:09:26 <carloss_> we can already start adding some topics
15:09:41 <carloss_> that we want to discuss during the April PTG
15:10:08 <carloss_> so please start adding your topics
15:10:20 <carloss_> I'll have more reminders like this as the cycle goes
15:11:14 <carloss_> s/cycle/month
15:11:41 <carloss_> and finally, two non-ptg related announcements
15:13:06 <carloss_> 1. I'm running for PTL (again) :D
15:13:08 <carloss_> #link https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/P2T4WBGG4AH523CW45HMT33A3IUVH747/
15:13:47 <carloss_> some of the goals for the next cycle remain the same, but some other places I would like to focus
15:13:53 <carloss_> happy to chat about them :)
15:15:10 <carloss_> it's been a great experience for me, but I would like to keep this option open for you as well. If you are interested in running for PTL, please let me know and I can guide you through the process :)
15:15:25 <carloss_> leadership changes are always encouraged and very important for the health of the projects
15:15:47 <carloss_> that way we can benefit from different leadership styles
15:16:06 <carloss_> and...
15:16:21 <carloss_> 2. gouthamr is running for TC!
15:17:37 <carloss_> #ink https://governance.openstack.org/election/#2024.2-tc-candidates (TC candidates)
15:18:04 <carloss_> we are in the phase before the election for tc members, so that's the perfect timing for asking questions for the candidates
15:18:25 <carloss_> and it is nice to see a Zorilla announcing his candidacy
15:18:40 <vhari> gouthamr++
15:20:28 <carloss_> good candidates, so please take part when voting starts. Your vote is very important to the community!
15:21:01 <carloss_> that's all I had for announcements. Do you have an announcement to share with us?
15:23:33 <carloss_> taking silence as no...
15:23:55 <carloss_> #topic Review Focus
15:23:57 <carloss_> #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/manila-caracal-review-focus (Review Focus etherpad)
15:25:05 <carloss_> alright, I think in this meeting we can focus on the changes that should target feature freeze
15:25:17 <carloss_> one of the features is already merged (add disabled reason to service fields)
15:25:51 <carloss_> all of the features have been reviewed at this point, and we are following-up on them
15:26:25 <carloss_> the features targeting feature freeze are:
15:27:07 <carloss_> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/907051 (Support for share/snapshots deferred deletion)
15:27:26 <carloss_> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/909115 (Implement backup in the netapp driver)
15:27:42 <carloss_> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/908897 (Human readable export locations)
15:27:52 <carloss_> ^ the two mentioned above have core + netapp driver changes
15:28:02 <carloss_> and finally
15:28:14 <carloss_> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/909175 (Add a new config option to specify admin metadata)
15:28:25 <carloss_> ^ this is not exactly a feature, is more like an RFE
15:28:51 <carloss_> which will allow administrators to configure metadata that only administrators should be able to manipulate
15:29:03 <carloss_> (i.e. affinity/anti-affinity)
15:29:22 <carloss_> and driver specific metadata that drivers will be now able to report
15:29:29 <carloss_> ^ this is also part of this new change
15:29:50 <carloss_> I think the three changes I mentioned have a good number of reviewers
15:29:57 <carloss_> can I get some eyes on the last one?
15:30:14 <carloss_> jayaanand gireesh :)
15:30:47 <jayaanand> sure, i will check
15:30:52 <gireesh> Sure, will review that
15:30:55 <carloss_> tyvm
15:31:13 <carloss_> also, haixin: could you please take a look? gouthamr is already okay with the change too, and if we manage to merge that change in the next couple of days, it will be one less change that would need an exception
15:31:30 <haixin> ok
15:31:35 <carloss_> ty haixin
15:31:53 <carloss_> and speaking of feature freeze exceptions, I believe the three changes (deferred deletion, backup and human readable export locations) will need feature freeze exceptions
15:32:09 <gireesh> yes
15:32:21 <gireesh> for backup it require
15:32:50 <jayaanand> i am implementing latest suggestions in "human readable export location". need FFE
15:33:06 <carloss_> gireesh, jayaanand and kpdev: you guys have done a great job on updating the changes when needed and the changes were submitted in time. Thank you for that!
15:33:29 <gireesh> ty carloss
15:33:44 <carloss_> usually this process is done through the mailing list: change owners would request feature freeze exception for their changes
15:33:59 <carloss_> as there are many authors and different features, I can compile a list and share in the mailing list myself
15:34:07 <msaravan> Yeah.. great patches they are; Cool features;
15:34:25 <carloss_> I'm okay granting the FFE for the three features :)
15:35:06 <jayaanand> thank you
15:35:30 <carloss_> msaravan++ :)
15:35:52 <carloss_> at this pace, I'm confident we'll be able to get the features merged by next week
15:36:02 <carloss_> s/next week/the end of the next week
15:36:49 <carloss_> do you guys have something else to bring up?
15:37:07 <carloss_> our focus is mainly on features now... we have until RC1 to get bugfixes merged
15:38:52 <carloss_> cool
15:38:58 <carloss_> #topic Bug Triage (vhari)
15:39:06 <carloss_> #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/manila-bug-triage-pad-new (Bug Triage etherpad)
15:39:18 <vhari> hi everyone
15:39:28 <carloss_> o/ vhari
15:39:42 <vhari> so there were no bugs this week :)
15:40:04 <vhari> I would like to revisit some stale bugs..
15:40:20 <vhari> wdyt carloss_ ?
15:40:43 <carloss_> sounds great
15:40:51 <vhari> awesome .. here goes
15:41:00 <vhari> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/manila/+bug/1706539
15:41:35 <vhari> is this still relevant?
15:42:05 <vhari> there is no recent input in the bug
15:42:48 <carloss_> yeah, I believe it is still relevant
15:43:04 <carloss_> we'd just need to find an assignee
15:43:33 <vhari> ack, would be good to have fresh eyes on this
15:44:12 <carloss_> sounds like a lhf
15:44:20 <vhari> ack
15:44:21 <carloss_> maybe we can get an intern looking at this?
15:44:49 <vhari> carloss_,++
15:45:24 <vhari> next up #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/manila/+bug/1713062
15:46:37 <carloss_> quite old, wow
15:46:43 <vhari> this is a doc issue ..
15:46:50 <carloss_> it's like an RFE for docs IMHO
15:48:18 <carloss_> still valid, but still low-prio
15:48:33 <vhari> ack
15:48:33 <carloss_> and it's the same case for an assignee
15:50:18 <vhari> all set on this one
15:50:39 <vhari> so that's a wrap for bugs
15:51:06 <carloss_> awesome! ty vhari
15:51:25 <vhari> ty everyone .. if you have some thoughts on these bugs, feel free to reach out asyn
15:51:32 <vhari> yw carloss_
15:51:48 <carloss_> awesome
