Agenda and Notes - Nov 21st Call

o    Really good summit for StarlingX.  Good showcase for the project, and great progress since May where we started with seed code.  Big accomplishment by the team!

o    Brent presented to the BoD, Ian and Dean keynoted, there were numerous StarlingX sessions and we had good participation across the overall Open Infrastructure community.

o    Conference sessions were recorded and are in the process of being posted

o    The next Summit / PTG will be in Denver.  The one after that will be in China!

o    The next OpenStack release will be called Train.

o    Reduction of OpenStack technical debt has not been going as fast as we would like, which means maintaining the forks for longer and impacting rebasing.

o    The TSC discussed a new approach.  Rather than work through patch by patch, the TSC proposes to turn the problem on its head and move to OpenStack master

o    As soon as possible.

o    We would then look to address gaps through upstream submissions/specs, refactoring of STX or (worst case) carrying a small number of patches in packaging RPMs.

o    Brent to post the chart deck describing the changes to keep onto the wiki.

o    List has been shared with the STX Neutron team and the Nova PTL.

o    Will likely change the release cadence to accommodate this change - Stein releases in April making it hard to support in an STX release in March.
