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.
