Weekly Nova team meeting

MEETING TIME: Thursdays 16:00 UTC (#openstack-meeting-3)

The Thursday 8:00 UTC slot is kept as a unofficial office hour on #openstack-nova for contributors who cannot attend on the official meeting slot.

This meeting is a weekly gathering of developers working on OpenStack Compute (Nova). We cover topics such as release planning and status, bugs, reviews, and other current topics worthy of real-time discussion.

  •  ?

• #topic Open discussion
  • (bauzas): Seeking approval for specless bp #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/offline-reshape-tool
  • (sean-k-mooney): Seeking approval for specless bp #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/cyborg-rebuild-and-evacuate
  • (brinzhang): Seeking approval for specless bp #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/cyborg-shelve-and-unshelve
  • (gibi): I will be on PTO between 27th of July and 3rd of August (and between Aug 10 - 24). 30th of July is Milestone 2 and spec freeze, so I would need a stand-in handling the freeze during that week.
  • (stephenfin): Can we make the 'cherry-picked from' line in backports preferred instead of mandatory? They're definitely nice to have, but they incur pain for larger backports consisting of multiple patches per branch (change one patch higher up and you invalid all lower backports). Maybe use Gerrit's model (add -x for first backport since it's landed and ignore for anything older)
    • some discussion about it on IRC: #link http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-nova/%23openstack-nova.2020-06-10.log.html#t2020-06-10T15:02:18
