(#link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-July/029385.html ) 14:07:36 even thinking on it is interesting as most/some of our stadium projects can be interesting to check from usability 14:08:23 they mostly perfect for the few usecase the original developers worked on, but no new adaptation happened recently, like to make them work with OVN 14:09:29 Do you have questions or comments for Announcements? 14:09:58 Ok, next topic 14:10:02 #topic Bugs 14:10:13 Report from rubasov: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-June/029270.html 14:10:39 There were few "under discussion / more investigation needed": 14:10:46 neutron dnsmasq keeps pushing the default gateway (#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1979528 ) 14:11:40 And: l3ha router delete race condition if state changes to master (#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1979089 ) 14:12:35 rubasov: do you have any comments, or something to highlight? 14:13:05 I missed the newest answer on 1979528, but now I will follow up on that 14:13:23 rubasov: thanks 14:13:28 on the other hand I don't know enough about l3ha for the other one 14:14:43 ok, next week's report from ralonsoh: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-July/029380.html 14:15:24 ralonsoh: do you have any comments/highlights for it? As I remember all bugs has assignee 14:15:32 I think all bugs are assigned or there is a patch under review 14:15:36 right 14:16:32 so nothing to comment, thanks 14:16:37 ralonsoh, rubasov: thanks for the report 14:16:55 This week lucasgomes is the deputy and next week jlibosva will be. 14:17:16 I am not sure if lucasgomes is aware of his deputy week, I have no answer to my mail :-( 14:17:44 I can ping him internally at RH 14:17:52 mlavalle: thanks 14:18:28 he was sick at the beginning of the last week so perhaps he might have missed that. I ack my duty for the next week 14:18:46 jlibosva: thanks 14:19:16 if there is no comments or questions for the bugs, we can move on 14:19:56 #topic On Demand Agenda 14:20:08 (lajoskatona/elvira): channel in questions for development topics (how to do things, how to debug things.... etc.) to IRC 14:20:23 lajoskatona: lucasgomes confirms he is aware 14:20:32 mlavalle: thanks 14:20:45 this topic is quite formless, but please think about it. 14:21:28 It is about to give more life to the channel, and make it a welcoming channel for dumb developer questions, or newcomer topics also 14:22:11 perhaps it is now, but we have few newcomers, but would be good to know if we can make it more easy to ask 14:22:57 I was thinking on a period of like office hours for some projects, but as "help you hacking hour" or something like this 14:23:30 nice idea 14:23:45 it was elvira who mentioned that if a channel is quiet, it's not easy to go there and ask a question becasue it feels like bothering others 14:23:50 lajoskatona maybe I'm not aware but were there any attempts to contact with such questions already? 14:23:54 and we didn't reply? 14:24:25 my concern is that how such newcomer will know about such "office hours" in the channel? 14:24:26 slaweq: It is more about the questions that are not even asked 14:24:37 slaweq: I think is more on the side of: if no one talks, no one asks. Not really that the channel is not welcoming 14:24:39 slaweq: yeah that is a good question 14:25:30 First of all we have this doc https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/doc/source/contributor/contributing.rst 14:25:37 maybe we should make it somehow more visible? 14:25:43 yea the not welcoming was not a good starting from me, I think there's always answer if there is a question, but to make it easier to ask the first question 14:25:46 like link to it on the main page of the repo? 14:26:23 slaweq: thats a good idea 14:26:33 now it's linked in https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst 14:26:46 but not in the https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/README.rst 14:27:07 lajoskatona elvira I'm not against such "office hours" and I'm happy to help with it 14:27:27 but we should first somehow advertize it 14:27:51 maybe we can also add such info to the channel's topic 14:28:05 slaweq: I don't want to have extra load if it is useless, just first to think about it :-) 14:28:30 sure 14:28:34 slaweq: channel topic is also good idea, if it is working with oftc 14:29:15 I can set channel topic if you tell me what you want there 14:29:19 Maybe we can come up with more general approaches. Like adding a message in the topic of the IRC where we encourage asking 14:29:20 or any other infra-root 14:29:32 ok, thanks for the ideas, I will think about it also in the coming weeks 14:29:40 frickler: thanks 14:30:05 elvira++ frickler++ good ideas 14:30:33 would also be good to link to the channel log IMHO 14:30:52 Next topic: 14:31:01 Sorry, wrong copy/paste 14:31:29 regardless of the mechanism, making the Neutron channel and the team more approachable is always good 14:31:41 frickler: you mean to https://meetings.opendev.org/irclogs/%23openstack-neutron/ ? 14:31:50 yes 14:32:16 also the neutron team can delegate additional channel operators by amending the accessbot config in openstack/project-config 14:32:29 by the way is there a way to search irclogs? I missed that feature sometimes 14:32:58 lajoskatona: site:meetings.opendev.org in a search engine maybe. but no we don't have a standalone index of the channel log files 14:33:16 fungi: thanks, I will check it 14:34:29 Ok, next topic: 14:34:37 (rubasov): Neutron performance measurements with rally back to Big Bang :-) 14:34:43 http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-July/029384.html 14:34:58 I just have these api performance measurements for the last few releases, maybe you find it interesting 14:35:09 direct link to the summary chart: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/attachments/20220704/6838fd60/attachment-0001.png 14:36:20 Note: you have to scroll to the bottom to see the x axis labels 14:37:03 yeah the x axis is shared between the plots 14:37:36 rubasov++ thx for that, it's really good 14:38:18 exactly: thanks for the efforts, and even the news is good :-) 14:38:20 rubasov: +++ 14:38:27 since like between Queens and Victoria most of the things were really slow, and it improved in Wallaby and newer versions 14:38:39 still thinking about re-uploading the tarball somwehere more stable 14:39:13 will check if it fits github policies 14:40:09 and there's more data in the rally reports, may make sense to dive into that too 14:41:51 Perhaps it's worth to make a kind of discussion if this method is good enough for such measurements, and do something like this for every coming cycle, and add a "team goal" to next cycle based on that 14:42:31 if you have any questions, comments on the methodology, you know where to find me :-) 14:42:47 thanks rubasov 14:43:09 yes, we should IMO identify now slowest operations and maybe take a closer look at such 14:43:23 like e.g. create_and_update_routers - it is better now but still 150 seconds 14:43:42 I'm not sure for how many routers it was at once but seems still slow 14:44:06 keep in mind that is for 40 iterations 14:44:23 ahh, ok 14:45:07 the rally task definition defines these iteration counts 14:45:40 the chart has the iteration count next to the scenario name 14:46:38 rubasov: I saw it but I wasn't sure if time is summary for all iterations or maybe average per iteration 14:46:41 or something like that 14:46:47 thx for explanation 14:47:09 rally has two main outputs: load_duration and full_duration for each scenario 14:47:23 the chart show load_duration for all iterations 14:49:13 If there's no more comments for these measurements, we can move on 14:49:31 (slaweq) August 2022 OpenInfra Board Sync 14:49:42 https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-June/029352.html 14:49:42 Etherpad https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2022-08-board-openstack-sync 14:49:42 Time slots poll https://framadate.org/atdFRM8YeUtauSgC (deadline next Friday, 15.07.2022) 14:49:55 slaweq: thanks for bringing it up 14:50:43 yeah, it's just a heads up 14:50:53 thanks 14:50:53 who needs to attend? 14:51:04 if You have any topics which You think would be good to discuss with the Board, please add to the etherpad 14:51:19 and add Your prefered time slots in the poll 14:51:26 I will I think (have to check the time slots) 14:51:41 nothing more regarding this topic from me 14:51:58 ok, next one: 14:52:05 sorry 14:52:05 (slaweq) Bare rechecks 14:52:10 Details in https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-June/029342.html 14:52:11 who needs to attend 14:52:12 ? 14:52:36 ralonsoh You are asking about this board sync? 14:52:42 yes 14:52:51 only those who wants 14:52:56 ralonsoh: I think the PTL should be there, so I will go, if you have topics that I can bring, let me know 14:52:56 ok, thanks 14:52:59 there is no any requirements 14:53:21 but everyone is welcome :) 14:53:42 regarding "bare rechecks" 14:54:11 I just wanted to bring it here as in TC recently we started looking how many rechecks done by different projects are rechecks without any reason given in comment 14:54:41 such rechecks may be without reason because person who did it, didn't check what was the issue really 14:55:24 so please try to at least look into the failed jobs' results and try to maybe find what the issue was there, or report new bug 14:55:32 or find existing bug if there is any 14:55:51 You can always ask on the channel for help with any specific failure 14:56:06 and then write comments like "recheck and reason of the recheck" 14:56:35 as a reason it may be link to the bug, bug number, short explanation why job failed or anything else really 14:56:47 do You have any questions regarding that? 14:56:58 slaweq: thanks, I was thinking how to advertise it 14:57:17 lajoskatona I will be also sending emails about it weekly to the ML 14:57:24 so I hope it will be more advertized 14:57:59 and also if You will see someone who is doing "bare rechecks" - please try maybe educate in the gerrit comments, on irc, etc. 14:58:00 Isn't there a way to set custom banner in gerrit with such blinking message? 14:58:02 I think that will be the best what we can do 14:58:12 lajoskatona I don't think so 14:58:22 it was discussed in one of the tc meetings already 14:58:36 slaweq: ok, thanks 14:59:42 lajoskatona yw 14:59:46 We are close to the end of our hour, so let's close the meeting for today 14:59:48 that's all from me 14:59:58 slaweq: ack, thanks 15:00:02 #endmeeting
