There were a lot of topics discussed but two important cinder policies to keep in mind for active/new contributors is as follows:
 +
 
 +
* Do reviews to get reviews
 +
** The idea is to promote opensource contribution in terms of reviews and not just code commits
 +
** Contributors should actively review and also make their organization understand the importance of reviews in OpenStack contribution
 +
** For starting out with your code review journey, here is a guide proposed to efficiently do reviews
 +
*** https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/contributor/gerrit.html#efficient-review-guidelines
 +
 
 +
* Avoid bare rechecks
 +
** Although not intentional, sometimes we skip the reason for rechecking which in general is not a good practice, see our guidelines regarding rechecks
 +
*** https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/contributor/gerrit.html#ci-job-rechecks
 +
** There is also a "bare recheck" thread that keeps track of number of bare rechecks per project, we should try to keep that minimal
 +
*** https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-December/031534.html
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Coming to the topics, following are the topics discussed and their conclusions:
 +
 
 +
* Driver status: We've 4 new drivers this cycle
 +
** HPE XP driver: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/815582
 +
*** Rebranding of Hitachi driver, Once CI reports fine should be good to merge
 +
** Fungible NVMe TCP:  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/849143
 +
*** Need some changes regarding clone in-use volume functionality but looks almost complete
 +
** Lustre:  https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:bp%252Fadd-lustre-driver
 +
*** Currently missing CI but can be addressed with an upstream CI like nfs one
 +
*** Might require a new devstack plugin for the CI to work
 +
*** Planned to postpone this to next cycle
 +
** NetApp NVME TCP: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/870004
 +
*** Recently proposed and a big code change
 +
*** Due to review bandwidth shortage, might need to postpone is to next cycle
 +
 
 +
* Cinderclient to OSC migration update
 +
** There are few concerns regarding storyboard as the bug tracker and the review bandwidth issue that might take long time to get things merged in OSC
 +
** We will stop accepting new CLI changes into cinderclient from Bobcat
 +
 
 +
* tox4 update
 +
** Apart from cinderlib and python-cinderclient, other cinder projects have adapted to tox4 and gate is working fine
 +
** for cinderlib and python-cinderclient, we will pin it to tox3 until tox4 is stable for these branches
 +
 
 +
* python-six
 +
** The last cycle using python2 as a runtime is Train and we still have six compatibility code in cinder codebase
 +
** General consensus of team is to move forward with removing six
 +
** We also don't have a backport problem since the last active stable branch is Xena

Introduction

Welcome to the Cinder Antelope midcycle summary page!

We conduct 2 midcycles every 6 months (OpenStack release) that acts as a checkpoint for the following:

  • Revisiting/following up the topics discussed at PTG
  • Discuss topics that were missed during PTG due to author's unavailability or lack of time or any other reason
  • Status of work items based on the milestone

There could be more reasons but the above highlighted are the major ones.

For Antelope, the Midcycle will happen at:

  1. R-16: 30th November, 2022 (Wednesday) 1400-1600 UTC
  2. R-9: 18th January, 2022 (Wednesday) 1400-1600 UTC

We held our second mid cycle of the 2023.1 (Antelope) development Cycle on 18th January (R-9 week) between 1400-1600 UTC.

There were a lot of topics discussed but two important cinder policies to keep in mind for active/new contributors is as follows:


Coming to the topics, following are the topics discussed and their conclusions:

  • Cinderclient to OSC migration update
    • There are few concerns regarding storyboard as the bug tracker and the review bandwidth issue that might take long time to get things merged in OSC
    • We will stop accepting new CLI changes into cinderclient from Bobcat
  • tox4 update
    • Apart from cinderlib and python-cinderclient, other cinder projects have adapted to tox4 and gate is working fine
    • for cinderlib and python-cinderclient, we will pin it to tox3 until tox4 is stable for these branches
  • python-six
    • The last cycle using python2 as a runtime is Train and we still have six compatibility code in cinder codebase
    • General consensus of team is to move forward with removing six
    • We also don't have a backport problem since the last active stable branch is Xena
    • Driver vendors are recommended to remove six code from their drivers

We held our first mid cycle of the 2023.1 (Antelope) development Cycle on 30th November (R-16 week) between 1400-1600 UTC.

We started out with specification status. we currently have 3 active specs:


We continued with drivers proposed/targeted for this cycle:


Other topics (following) can be found in the etherpad as well as in the recording.

  • remove Xenserver image support
  • cinderlib Recursion Error
