17:02:40 <tjones> hi folks - who's here today?
17:02:45 <arnaud> o/
17:03:12 * mdbooth_home is vaguely present
17:03:18 <tjones> lol
17:04:15 <tjones> so featyre freeze is basically today
17:04:25 <tjones> too bad i can't spell it
17:04:50 <tjones> oslo.vmware and spawn refactor are soooo close.
17:05:00 <mdbooth_home> oslo.vmware is in
17:05:08 <mdbooth_home> spawn refactor is bouncing in the gate
17:05:14 <tjones> hurrah!
17:05:18 <tjones> closer than i thought
17:05:23 <mdbooth_home> Except for the last patch, which is complicated
17:05:28 <mdbooth_home> and currently rejected
17:05:52 <mdbooth_home> We're going to have to ask for a FFE
17:05:55 <tjones> mdbooth_home: do you have the link handy?
17:06:00 <vuil> I asked john about it.
17:06:05 <vuil> oh hi, was speaking to someone
17:06:29 <vuil> I will split up the patch into two, then we can ask for ffe in the ML
17:06:39 <mdbooth_home> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/98322/
17:06:45 <vuil> thank for the help btw matt
17:06:53 <mdbooth_home> vuil: I already split the tests out
17:07:16 <vuil> oh cool, was looking at a stale page then.
17:07:35 <tjones> ok lets talk about what else we would like to ask for FFE.  Other things that missed are ova, ephemeral disk, vsan, spbm
17:07:39 <vuil> matt: you have any leads for two more core sponsors? I'd imagine we have John as one
17:07:42 <tjones> we also have 64 open bugs
17:08:05 <tjones> im saying that cause i would really like us to take some bug fixing time too
17:08:33 <vuil> how much time do we have for bug-fixin again?
17:08:33 <mdbooth_home> vuil: None specifically, I'm afraid.
17:08:53 <tjones> https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Juno_Release_Schedule
17:09:09 <tjones> 2 weeks to RC
17:10:08 <tjones> so we have john as sponsor for the remaining spawn refactor. we need one more
17:10:25 <vuil> two more I think
17:10:38 <mdbooth_home> Are we going to try to get the test changes in, too?
17:10:55 <mdbooth_home> To be fair, it wasn't immediately obvious to me what the test changes were doing, either
17:11:50 <mdbooth_home> vuil: I haven't actually submitted the tests as a separate patch yet, btw, as I wanted to talk to you first
17:12:05 <vuil> I can take another pass at them
17:12:17 <vuil> yeah let's talk afterwards
17:12:19 <mdbooth_home> k
17:13:01 <mdbooth_home> So, what's the regular mechanism for begging for core sponsors?
17:13:19 <tjones> ok - so the remaining spawn refactor patch we want FFE for (https://review.openstack.org/98322) and we have 1 core sponsor only  - correct?
17:13:36 <vuil> I have no idea, its a first for me
17:13:42 <mdbooth_home> tjones: Unless vuil thinks we need to include the tests too, yes
17:13:58 <tjones> well…  what we have done in the past is just ask people that have been reviewing it
17:14:36 <mdbooth_home> That would be johnthetubaguy and jaypipes
17:14:39 <vuil> maybe next best thing is to ping folks who have been reviewing the earlier items in the series
17:14:41 <tjones> yes
17:14:51 <arnaud> agreed
17:14:54 <vuil> like brian elliot and daniel b
17:15:04 <mdbooth_home> belliot has also been very helpful with reviews
17:15:08 <tjones> ok who is going to do that?
17:15:36 <mdbooth_home> Post to the mailing list?
17:15:48 <tjones> could do that and ask them on irc
17:15:51 <vuil> let me work out between matt and I, on what to add with the tests.
17:15:57 <tjones> ok thanks
17:16:12 <vuil> then we ping them on irc first
17:16:17 <tjones> so thoughts on the other ones that did not get in?
17:16:34 <mdbooth_home> ephemeral disks has been around since forever, and is pretty simple
17:16:57 <tjones> yes even before i started working on this project ;-)
17:17:28 <mdbooth_home> I didn't bother rebasing it the other day, though, because it looked unlikely to make it
17:17:30 <vuil> yeah and it follows right after the refactor chain which we are asking ffe for, so that's a good candidate
17:18:05 <mdbooth_home> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/109432/
17:18:16 <mdbooth_home> johnthetubaguy seems positive on getting that in, though
17:18:37 <vuil> vsan/streamoptimized has been around for the longest time, it has the misfortune of depending on both the oslo.vmware and the refactoring being done, so alas...
17:19:10 <mdbooth_home> vuil: Does it have good karma?
17:20:36 <tjones> vuil: thoughts on focusing on them for k-1?  spawn is a very clear FFE.  for ephemeral - garyk can you change the commit message to somethings that makes it clear this is needed for driver consistency?
17:20:40 <vuil> mdbooth: no not quite, but that was mostly because we could not post updated versions of it easily without either one of those landing
17:21:08 <mdbooth_home> vuil: Yeah, sounds like we should give up on it for J.
17:22:01 <vuil> sadly yeah. now that oslo.vmware integration lands, at least I can update and post them without any hack dependencies
17:22:22 <mdbooth_home> +1
17:22:30 <tjones> getting that and refactor in will make our lives so much easier in k
17:22:58 <mdbooth_home> There are a few more from oslo.vmware which currently have -2s
17:23:07 <vuil> spbm stuff?
17:23:21 <mdbooth_home> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/100927/
17:23:26 <mdbooth_home> That's before spbm
17:23:43 <mdbooth_home> It's another disruptive refactor patch, though
17:24:04 <vuil> which is kinda what I said to gary as well.
17:24:44 <vuil> I tried to rebase the refactor stuff on top of it, half dozen conflicts or so
17:25:01 <mdbooth_home> It's looking a bit ignored, unfortunately
17:25:07 <vuil> none too bad, but it does mean score reset and what not
17:25:39 <mdbooth_home> Incidentally, all patches currently in the gate remain at risk for J-3
17:26:02 <mdbooth_home> Basically, if the small gods of the gate decide not to favour us, they won't make it
17:26:21 <tjones> ugh
17:26:25 <mdbooth_home> Could somebody in the appropriate TZ please babysit them overnight?
17:26:36 <mdbooth_home> Well, my overnight
17:26:41 <tjones> https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/nova+branch:master+topic:bp/vmware-spawn-refactor,n,z
17:26:42 <mdbooth_home> Your daytime :)
17:26:53 <vuil> I hope those will be safer candidates for ffe should it come to that.
17:27:14 <vuil> yeah those gods have not been to kind the last 24 hours.
17:27:17 <tjones> i don't see anything under the oslo umbrella
17:28:33 <vuil> mdbooth: sure I will keep tabs, probably nothing more we can do with them apart from reverify if we see hiccups right
17:28:47 <tjones> so - the plan is to ask for FFE on spawn refactor and for garyk to work with john to get ephemeral in as a bug fix.  I think that's the best we can do.  thoughts on this?
17:28:53 <mdbooth_home> yeah, that's all I think we can do
17:29:04 <mdbooth_home> tjones: +1
17:29:51 <mdbooth_home> As for the gate, the job queue is huge
17:30:06 <mdbooth_home> Given it's a series, the chances of them all getting through are practically zero
17:30:30 <mdbooth_home> If that's going to require a FFE, we should prepare for that
17:30:34 <mdbooth_home> because it's inevitable
17:31:03 <tjones> yeah
17:31:08 <vuil> mdbooth: so you suggest wait and see what gate spits back before asking?
17:31:29 <mdbooth_home> I think we should pound on the gate anyway
17:31:36 <mdbooth_home> But prepare for disappointment
17:31:48 <tjones> :-(
17:31:48 <mdbooth_home> Wait for the -2s
17:31:56 <mdbooth_home> Which will come tomorrow, I guess
17:32:17 <tjones> yeah - so everyone please babysit the patches and we'll see tomorrow
17:32:49 <tjones> anything else to discuss?
17:33:53 <mdbooth_home> Not here
17:34:02 <vuil> not for me
17:34:16 <tjones> ok great - have 1/2 hour back :-)
17:34:24 <tjones> talk to you guys later
