·         Sub-project status updates

§  Container project will cut-over master branch to the container branch in February.  

§  Please try to build/run it for testing.  Some folks are reporting issues with accessing the docker repo, WIP to resolve

§  Work is starting in the Test team now, seeing good progress there.

§  There is a feature branch called f/Stein where work to rebase to openstack master is in progress.

§  The cut over will bring us both Container support and Stein (from master).

§  CentOS 7.6 upgrade progress is good.  49 sRPM and 600+ RPM packages have been upgraded.

·         Kernel upgrade is still in progress.  Working on resolving driver patches

§  Ceph upgrade still has issues.  We will need multiple Ceph monitors running but this is taking a while.  For now we will just run one Ceph monitor.  

·         This is at risk to complete before the branch cut-over as the China teams will be out for NY holiday

§  Python upgrade - 3 repos remaining - config, integ and distcloud.  Hope to have them done by end of January

§  About a third of the items we are tracking are at risk for Stein.

§  Focusing on Network Segment Range merge in neutron - 5 patches still need to merge

§  No update

§  working on setting up containers on systems that do not have internet access.

§  No update

§  Working on the multi-OS build spec

§  Spec in progress for changing the doc hierarchy to improve user experience and provide a framework for new documents

§  Please update the API docs if/when you change the APIs

§  We are not seeing the release notes getting populated for changes being made.  There are two steps needed to help us generate release notes

·         Have we discussed the release notes process overall?  What level do we want to provide - every change or high level?

·         What is the policy for when something is release noted?

·         Common openstack policy is that anything that is user visible should have release notes (e.g. bugs, functional changes)
