[Starlingx-discuss] Community Call (Oct 2, 2019)

[Zvonar, Bill]

>From today's Community Call...

- standing topics
    - any Gerrit reviews that need attention?
       - per Saul, there are a bunch of Multi-OS reviews out there, some are languishing - general request for the cores to take a look
    - sanity - any reds since last call? - no, all green
    - any unanswered calls for assistance on the mailing list? - nothing major since last time 

- Brucej: The recent updates to Kubernetes 1.16 and to add Redfish support are both great candidates for Release Notes for 3.0, for docs.starlingX.io and maybe even a blog post.  
    - Can the teams doing the development also make the doc updates (with the help of the Docs team of course)?  Are new tests or changes to existing tests needed?
    - general PSA about these changes 
    - for Kubernetes 1.16, there are some Kubernetes API changes 

- MultiOS - openSUSE Status - Saul
    - mostly covered by the note above re: Gerrit reviews that need attention 
    - generally making good progress 

- Project Consolidation
    - the review: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/683410/1
    - Ildiko's email: http://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2019-September/006348.html
    - Bruce - how active are the projects in question?
    - Dariush - all active, not necessarily at the same time 
    - with consolidation, there could be a regular meeting/minutes, like other projects 
    - Bart - this would help get the Community involved, as such it wouldn't make sense to have regular meetings/communication for each of the current projects 
    - the name - platform is too vague/confusing
    - we agreed to go with flock-services instead 

- Election
    -  Ildiko will send a mail out reminding folks that the nomination period starts next week 

- 2.0 Retrospective - part two 
    - Frank
        - a 'good thing' was how members of the Community picked up some of the Containerization work 
        - Saul - documentation is key to enable this 
        - Bruce - we need to make it easier for Community members to find work items that need to be done (we started using the 'help wanted' tag bug)
        - Bill - maybe add this as a standing item to the Community meeting?
        - Frank - the willingness to take this on, by the Community members that did, was important 
    - Bruce
        - we have to improve on how to predict the content for the release 
    - Mike
        - we could use more input from the Community on the content of a given topic 
    - Ada
        - the test team could have been more involved, earlier, with the features - which they're doing now 
        - the split between the 2 test teams was good for focus 

- AR Updates
    - Sep 25, 2019 -- Doc Team -- find a place for Sai Chandu's images/documentation 
         - Oct 2: We believe this will go into our StarlingX-in-a-box topic as captured in https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2006622. 
         - Bruce has volunteered to help Sai with the contribution: http://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2019-September/006316.html 
    - Sep 11, 2019 -- TEAM -- complete project sub-team re-alignment, need to finish this before we start the PL/TL election cycle, per TSC and https://review.opendev.org/#/c/680514/
         - Oct 2: feels like we're convering in time, per Project Consolidation topic above 
    - Sep 11, 2019 -- Abraham/Build -- sort out how/when to finish this off the renaming of the to-be-renamed system-client (nee: cgcs-client)
         - Oct 2: help wanted 
    - Sep 11, 2019 -- Bruce -- identify the feature documentation gaps
         - Oct 2: Mike will provide a top 5 list

    - June 26, 2019 -- Abraham -- provide a forecast for providing a Docker image list
         - Oct 2: for now Christopher will send the list separately, and will get the info included in the sanity report 
    - May 8, 2019 -- Frank -- follow up with CENGN on storage for really large files for reference in Launchpads
