There are ~600 nodes available in the system. A 3 patch series consumes 10% of all test resources. a 10 patch series 1/3. 14:09:17 <johnthetubaguy> sdague: I think there is a question about the v2.0 API jobs, I wonder if we can combine them with postres or something, or did we do that already? 14:09:31 <sdague> johnthetubaguy: honestly, I just had them moved to experimental 14:09:47 <sdague> because they did not seem to be finding anything beyond our functional tests 14:09:58 <johnthetubaguy> OK, thats fair enough 14:10:03 <sdague> that takes us down to 19 14:10:15 <johnthetubaguy> I mean we can always run them on API patches we are worried about, so thats cool 14:10:26 <johnthetubaguy> hmm, 19 still feels bad 14:10:28 <sdague> they only test for legacy v2 regressions really 14:10:33 <johnthetubaguy> yeah 14:10:52 <sdague> I proposed on the list to get rid of large-ops entirely (for reasons explained on mailing list) 14:11:34 <johnthetubaguy> is there a point where we get the foundation to help pay for more capacity for our CI, although I am sure we can be more efficient 14:12:24 <HenryG> Run it only on Sundays? 14:12:30 <johnthetubaguy> OK, so I think this is an important topic, but lets take this offline 14:12:34 <sdague> yep 14:12:38 <sdague> that's fine 14:12:38 <jroll> fwiw, foundation doesn't pay for CI capacity, it's donated 14:12:41 <johnthetubaguy> #help need help reducing the number of nodes we use 14:12:48 <johnthetubaguy> jroll: at the moment, yes 14:13:00 <jroll> aha :) 14:13:15 <johnthetubaguy> jroll: I am thinking about doing both, but then I would said that :) 14:13:29 <jroll> yeah, I see you now 14:13:43 <johnthetubaguy> #topic Stuck Reviews 14:14:07 <johnthetubaguy> flip214: DRBD process question I think? 14:14:22 <flip214> johnthetubaguy: yes, but I guess we don't need to discuss that here 14:14:26 <flip214> with all the audience waiting. 14:14:31 <johnthetubaguy> flip214: to get DRBD merged, you need an approved blueprint, basically 14:14:34 <flip214> after the meeting in #-nova is good enough 14:14:47 <johnthetubaguy> blueprint approval only lasts one release 14:14:53 <johnthetubaguy> #link http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/process.html 14:15:00 <johnthetubaguy> but yeah, lets talk specific in channel 14:15:04 <flip214> thanks 14:15:14 <flip214> I'm done then 14:15:26 <johnthetubaguy> ping me there anytime I am around if there is a process question, happy to answer those quickly rather than waiting 14:15:30 <johnthetubaguy> #topic Open 14:16:10 <johnthetubaguy> so there is a note about the get-me-a-network work neutron have been doing 14:16:36 <johnthetubaguy> jaypipes I think was saying he would find someone to work on the Nova side of this, now Neutron have an API ready for us 14:16:54 <johnthetubaguy> unless anyone else is keen 14:17:16 <johnthetubaguy> #link https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/get-me-a-network 14:17:25 * mriedem joins late 14:17:28 <johnthetubaguy> #help need folks to work on the Nova side of get-me-a-network 14:17:44 <johnthetubaguy> so thats the end of the agenda 14:17:50 <markus_z> I forgot to ask for help with the general bug skimming 14:17:53 <markus_z> #link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova/BugTriage#Weekly_bug_skimming_duty 14:18:07 <markus_z> auggy did it already for 3 weeks and I'm in the hospital next week 14:18:13 <dims> sdague : did we get relief from all the dhcp lease issues? 14:18:17 <johnthetubaguy> markus_z: ah oops, I missed out the link before 14:18:29 <dims> i had stopped tracking :) 14:18:50 <sdague> dims: I think we're under control there, I proposed backports today 14:18:51 <bauzas> is the LRU thing fixed that ?
