16:06:16 yes 16:06:34 i put together a draft survey, could use some eyes/comments on it 16:06:52 here comes a really long url 16:06:56 #link https://forms.zohopublic.com/rosmaitafossdev/form/OpenStacktranslationsusageandcontributionsurvey/formperma/9W0PYjoo61tAShU9B1GQj3m52K43uty-KtXDhIlOUe4 16:07:01 but that's what you get for free 16:07:24 while doing this, i learned that there has been a lot of consolidation in the free survey industry 16:07:45 and most options have a free level that is practically useless 16:07:54 i take it limesurvey didn't pan out 16:08:06 ohk 16:08:14 no, limesurvey only allows 25 responses a month 16:08:41 wufoo only allows 100 "entries" a month (whch would be about 20 responses) 16:08:59 pabbly.com only allows 100 submissions on a form 16:09:06 typeform only 10 responses 16:09:15 but zoho.com allows 500 submissions/month 16:09:18 ouch, yeah i guess i only lightly tested limesurvey's hosted version before i set up one to run in opendev (but then nobody used it, so we turned it off) 16:09:24 hence, that's what i picked 16:09:55 google forms allow unlimited responses, but are not available worldwide 16:10:07 (just for the record) 16:10:30 thanks that is good info to consider in future. 16:10:36 fungi: would be good if you could review what i say there about opendev infra supporting an instance 16:10:46 (i took it from a clarkb email, so is probably correct) 16:11:09 rosmaita: will check, thanks 16:12:14 rosmaita: lgtm 16:12:26 gmann: do we have time to look it over now, or should i say please get me comments by 16:12:36 fungi: ty 16:12:40 either way though, there's still work for someone to (re)implement the import/export automation, even for the hosted weblate 16:12:53 rosmaita: not now, you can continue and we can track it when ever you are ready via tracker 16:13:19 ok, everyone, please give me comments before Friday at 1700 UTC 16:13:35 rosmaita: oh, zanata is the correct spelling, not zenata 16:13:41 minor nit 16:13:51 thanks, i must be confused with ZenDesk! 16:14:03 +1, let's get the response and once we have the data then we can discuss and decide 16:14:47 anything else on this ? 16:14:53 nope 16:15:00 thanks 16:15:02 #topic Gate health check 16:15:06 any news on gate? 16:15:33 I have not monitored gate this week much as working on RBAC/service role testing and also migration to jammy 16:16:00 moments ago we found out ovh is having an incident impacting some of their swift services, so we merged a change to temporarily stop uploading job logs there, but some builds in the past hour or so ended with post_failure 16:16:23 ok 16:17:13 early utc saturday we had a transient bug with our weekly rolling zuul upgrade which caused builds to end with retry_limit results, but by mit-saturday utc it was resolved (once the scheduelrs were running the same version as the executors). we merged a fix for that so other zuul deployments won't hit it 16:17:26 Well, I found out that sahara if installed with Zed u-c (or with master) is not usable due to jsonschema version 16:18:11 But that;s not gate specific thing, but more project health I guess 16:18:20 ohk, not sure we have many active maintainer in sahara but we fixed jsonschema things in other repo during Zed i think 16:18:23 the recent round of branch eols also raised some new errors in projects which didn't eol those branches but were consuming branch-specific jobs from ones that did 16:18:26 Patch exists but was -1 on CR 16:18:49 worth revisiting whether transition from em to eol is really something we can leave up to individual projects 16:19:21 devstack is another example in that where we need to fix it to use the EOL tag for project moved to EOL 16:19:39 well at very least I think that projects with trailing releases must EOL after all other projects as well 16:19:59 yes, there is implied work for other teams when we do integration testing between projects but allow them to eol branches on different schedules 16:20:05 Yeah, for reason gmann said actually 16:20:14 not sure how easy or difficult to have a coordinated transition to EOL but release team knows better 16:20:45 I'll note that forcing teams to remain in "EM" when they wish to EOL will still push back that job-fixing-work on other teams if they aren't maintaining CI for that EM release. 16:21:05 agreed, i feel like we leave em branches open far too long 16:21:08 I will say they are moving from EM to EOL so if EM is broken due to some project EOL then it is good indication to EM projects also to do 16:21:12 There's no way to get around it: one project not-caring about an older release impacts any it cross-gates with; whether that's via EOL tag or just neglect 16:21:19 JayF: +1 yeah 16:21:49 in devstack also, we were discussing the same. let devstack EM branch broken and if anyone backporting and need devstack then they can fix it 16:22:08 well, when a project goes EOL on a branch, in devstack you can tell it to check out the eol tag instead of the stable branch 16:22:09 that is overall approach to EM anyays 16:22:33 rosmaita: yeah but that is extra work we need to do 16:22:52 and it leaves no path if that job starts failing due to bit rot or other reasons 16:23:02 I am not denying to do that but instead anyone maintaining the branches as EM can do 16:23:02 I actually think hard-failures might be preferable to testing against code you could never fix 16:23:26 but I'm not the one zuul is screaming at when the yaml doesn't parse :) 16:23:31 * dansmith stumbles in late 16:24:06 this Friday (Nov 18) we will merge the base jobs moving to Jammy. and project can pin failing job to Focal nodeset for time being 16:24:07 #linkk https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-November/031205.html 16:24:23 noonedeadpunk i think let's stick to the deadline and not delay that. 16:24:31 agree 16:24:34 ceph and swift fixes are still not merged 16:24:56 and horizon nodejs also failing 16:25:31 do we need a patch to pin ceph stuff on focal ahead of friday? 16:25:43 gmann: well, in OSA we also need to switch all projects to eol tag before marking osa as eol 16:25:46 yeah, the sooner that is switched the more time projects have to fix up problems they don't already know about. allowing projects which are aware of problems and haven't fixed them yet to delay that would be a poor prioritization, in my opinion 16:25:46 yeah to get devstack patch merge 16:25:57 dansmith: I will try to push one today 16:26:00 otherwise, we will reference branches that does not exist 16:26:06 gmann: okay 16:26:50 ah, you meant schedule about jammy transition 16:26:52 noonedeadpunk: ok but you can just wait for all project to go EOL and keep OSA EM as broken ? 16:26:53 sorry 16:27:30 yeah, I jsut haven't switched to the new topic yet :) 16:27:49 ohk, sorry for jumping to next 16:28:25 nah, it's fine, sorry for being slow :) 16:28:26 noonedeadpunk: for jammy migration, I know you fix is up for ceph job but it seems some other failure there. swift one is still not merged too 16:29:18 tbh I'm not sure what should be passing and what's not - jobs are marked as NV so hard to say kind of. I would expect NFS to pass though. I think it's a usecase with ganesha 16:29:20 this is swift fix timburke mentioned in swift channel #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/swift/+/863441 16:29:27 Can look into that if it's supposed to work 16:29:36 sure 16:30:00 oh no, "//" again 16:30:26 but let's do the migration on Friday, I will keep pinning nodeset patches ready meanwhile 16:30:30 yeah 16:31:07 anything else on gate health? 16:31:44 #topic 2023.1 TC tracker checks 16:31:46 #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/tc-2023.1-tracker 16:31:59 rosmaita already provided updates on i18 SIG 16:32:11 one update form me on TC chair process which is merged now 16:32:42 and upgrade path patch is up for review #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/860599 16:33:04 noonedeadpunk ^^ updated it as per your review comment, please have a look 16:33:15 any updates form anyone on their assigned items? 16:34:15 ok, if nothing else let's move to next topic 16:34:19 #topic TC stop using storyboard? 16:34:30 #link https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/923 16:35:11 we discussed it in last week meeting, and many of us even were not aware that it exist 16:35:38 and defer this topic to this meeting as we were not having majority of TC in the meeting 16:35:44 I remember that there was a push for everyone to use Storyboard many years ago 16:35:55 yeah 16:36:12 Am I correct in assuming that push is not happening anymore and that Storyboard is not really seeing developmnet? 16:36:16 in TC we are using tracker in eytherpad which is much easy and also for many goal tracking also 16:37:04 well, most of the projects decided to move to LP like ironic, placement. so not sure that it is good idea to move them back to SB again 16:37:15 Well, during PTG there were couple of topics on different tracks to move out from storyboard as well 16:37:21 but we are not deciding to shutdown SB for now 16:37:27 yeah 16:37:32 yes, this is less about whether projects are using storyboard and more that the process doug originally devised for goal tracking isn't being used and hasn't been for years 16:37:39 let's see how project goes and prefer over time 16:38:03 for TC SB, we can decide if we want to stop using SB or not 16:38:05 ++, just trying to get more context on where we stand as a community 16:38:08 I personally find SB quite hard to use 16:38:09 I think it'd be a positive change to just remove this tracking of governance from storyboard, and migrate it to "nothing" (our etherpad?) 16:38:19 yeah 16:38:39 yep, NFO, move on 16:39:01 I would like to have a vote here for the record, any more question/discussion before I start voting? 16:39:30 the vote is specifically about deactivating the openstack/governance repo in storyboard.openstack.org, right? 16:39:43 yes 16:39:54 * dansmith readies his voting finger 16:39:54 and not moving to launchpad 16:39:55 ? 16:40:05 yes 16:40:25 I think we identified that we don't need either because most of us didn't even know the SB stuff was a thing 16:40:28 which I'm in favor of 16:40:57 ok, let's start the voting, putting all together 16:41:04 #startvote TC stop tracking things on storyboard, close the governance project in SB, and not moving to LP? Yes, No 16:41:04 Begin voting on: TC stop tracking things on storyboard, close the governance project in SB, and not moving to LP? Valid vote options are Yes, No. 16:41:04 Vote using '#vote OPTION'. Only your last vote counts. 16:41:23 #vote Yes 16:41:26 #vote Yes 16:41:30 i don't think we need the "not moving to LP" in there 16:41:31 #vote Yes 16:41:31 #vote Yes 16:41:34 seems extraneous 16:41:40 #vote Yes 16:41:40 +1 to that 16:41:42 rosmaita: just to make sure 16:41:58 make sure of what, though? 16:41:59 Or answers should be not boolean 16:42:01 rosmaita: usually closing SB means moving to LP 16:42:19 there might be ambiguity in the need for an issue tracking mechanism for governance, and the SB/LP has been a binary usually. 16:42:20 well, i don't see any reason not to move to LP if it would be useful 16:42:24 for now we do not need to move to LP 16:42:42 right, but i don't see why that needs to be part of this vote 16:42:46 rosmaita: we do not have such requirement to move to LP right? 16:42:50 for the record, it wasn't really issue tracking that it was being used for anyway, it was task tracking 16:43:04 right, there is no obligation to use LP 16:43:11 (back when it was used at all) 16:43:20 but i don't see why we would want to say we are not going there as part of not using SB 16:43:24 I think so many projects are "moving back to LP from SB", and knikolla asked about it, 16:43:31 so the clarification seems to make sense to me 16:43:32 rosmaita: if we use then we need to open project there and tack it too right 16:44:03 yeah, stop SB should not mean we are moving to LP and for TC it is kind of different than other project 16:44:16 rosmaita: you know we're just talking about the TC's task tracking and not anything binding for other projects right? 16:44:23 so it should not be read as TC is stopping SB and they will be on LP 16:44:53 yeah this is specific for TC only 16:45:08 "TC will stop formally tracking status in storyboard, leaving TC with no storyboard usage or migration to perform" <-- would this wording be more clear? 16:45:16 if we make a songs album, it should be on LP 16:45:24 I think we all agree just confusion over the wording, yeah? 16:45:45 the tc hasn't really been doing goal task tracking in storyboard for years, so it already stopped long ago. this is about cleanup 16:46:09 i would be ok with "TC stop tracking things on storyboard and close the governance project in SB" 16:46:19 ++ 16:46:50 ok let's do that way. and as we are not using LP, leave that separate 16:46:52 well, for me if we're adding LP part it would make sense to ask if we're closing SB and migrating nowhere, not closing SB or moving to LP 16:47:22 "TC stop tracking things on storyboard and close the governance project in SB and not migrating to any other tracking tool for now" ? 16:47:24 As if it occurs that there're majority to use bug tracking system, but not SB, we're cutting these votes right now 16:48:00 the tc no longer has any process relying on the presence of the openstack/governance project in storyboard. it's probably not accurate to vote to stop doing something that already isn't being done 16:48:06 everyone agree on "TC stop tracking things on storyboard and close the governance project in SB and not migrating to any other tracking tool for now" ? 16:48:25 I'm fine with that 16:48:26 sure? 16:48:33 ok 16:48:44 alright 16:48:57 ok let me end vote first and restart. I do not think we have command to cancel the vote, please let me know if we do/? 16:49:34 #vote invalid 16:49:34 JayF: invalid is not a valid option. Valid options are Yes, No. 16:49:45 heh there's no way to abstain after the fact 16:50:04 this poll/vote is abandon and we are restring the new vote 16:50:08 yeah, it enforces the options very strictly 16:50:08 #endvote 16:50:08 Voted on "TC stop tracking things on storyboard, close the governance project in SB, and not moving to LP?"
