Ops Tags Team

Moderators: Tim Bell, Jonathan Proulx, Subbu Allamaraju, Tom Fifield

Mission

A team to define tags for ops, allowing users to make better decisions by providing useful information about OpenStack software projects.

Activities

  • Induct and coordinate volunteers to achieve the objectives of the team.
  • Manage the process for adding new tags in the ops:* namespace.
  • Manage any disputes related to ops:* tag value assignment
  • Continuously assess ops:* tag values as projects change.
  • Conduct the ops:* tag assessment for new projects as they are released.

How To Join

Meetings

Ops Tags team meets approximately monthly on IRC, in addition to meetings at the summits and at mid-cycle ops events.

Previous meeting nodes:

What are Tags?

  • Explained at a high level in http://ttx.re/the-way-forward.html
  • When applied to a project, Tags are comprised of a name (eg "Ops:Deployment-Widespread", "Ops:Config-Recipes-Available", "Ops:Packaged"), a value (eg "92%", "yes", "Ubuntu, Redhat and SUSE") and if applicable a description of why the project has that value.
  • Particularly, any tag that is not a 'perfect' result should have a bug report or some other information on steps to fix it
  • All tags are advisory only. They're RFC-style: IETF, not IEEE :)
  • Tags should easily facilitate caveats. Eg due to 2011 Tohoku earthquake, SmartTraveller lists Japan as still fine to visit, but has a sub-note saying "Fukushima area: do not travel" (http://smarttraveller.gov.au/zw-cgi/view/Advice/Japan ). For example, for a tag related to neutron, maybe neutron itself is fine but there might be some special thing about the linuxbridge driver that is important to note.
  • Early tags we're starting with should be simple and non-controversial. There is great potential to define more subjective tags, however these should be left until after the first set are completed.
  • The lack of a particular tag should not be a barrier to someone using the code

How To Dispute a Tag Application

If you feel a tag managed by this team has been applied wrongly, please email the OpenStack Ops Mailing List with [tags] in the subject line to state the reasoning. If you feel uncomfortable having this discussion on a mailing list, or feel that escalation is required, please email tom@openstack.org or any of the user committee members
