Hi everybody!
|
|
|
|
I'd like to continue to serve as the Stable branch maintenance PTL.
|
|
|
|
As I stated in my Ocata election platform [1] I have a few things on my TODO
|
|
list:
|
|
|
|
1. Work with project teams to understand how decisions taken on master will
|
|
impact their stable branches. Specifically projects with a driver model.
|
|
2. Work with project teams to implement constraints support
|
|
3. Growing the project specific, and stable-maint teams
|
|
4. Re-establishing regular team meetings and presence in #openstack-stable
|
|
5. Producing tooling to aid projects teams, release managers and the stable
|
|
team to keep stable branches current and released with a regular cadence
|
|
6. Producing tooling and procedures to help retire projects as required
|
|
|
|
It's bitter sweet to admit that many of these items are *still* on my list for
|
|
Pike.
|
|
|
|
1. This is an ongoing effort where the effort today pays off in 6 months :/
|
|
2. Has been handed off to the Requirements team[2] and has seen good progress
|
|
on master [3] which need to to translate onto stable branches.
|
|
3. This is a long term effort but I feel like we've had some success here,
|
|
especially in light of challenges facing *all* core teams.
|
|
4. We've had mixed success here. I'm not convinced this is working. It's
|
|
starting to feel to me like perhaps the stable team isn't big enough to
|
|
really need meetings. Using #openstack-stable and an office channel seems
|
|
to be be working but again would work better with a larger team.
|
|
5. The Realease team has made awesome progress on the automation side of
|
|
things and we're working on increasing review bandwidth but the tools to
|
|
help PTLs and CPLs decide *when* a release is needed is still immature.
|
|
6. This is getting better but for this to be fully realised requires an
|
|
upgrade in gerrit. This upgrade should provide the fine grained ACLs
|
|
needed to make this self and close to self service.
|
|
|
|
I'd appreciate another cycle to progress these items, if y'all will have me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yours Tony.
