Hi All:
  Thanks join the call. 

MoM  for 2/19 meeting:
    - Prb update (JITStack-Wesley) 
       --- build time 
           any feedback from Build Team http://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2020-February/007788.html , currently no feedback from build team. 
    - CentOS8 upgrade  (Austin/Shuicheng) 
             -  incremental upgrade on master :
                   * mock support (old gcc and new gcc ) , no solution yet. 
                      http://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2020-February/007769.html 
                    * new gcc will cause el7 rpm conflict or build failure. 
                   * std kernel build status update (kernel 4.18.0-80.11.2 on master env (gcc 4.8 +python2) 
                       do some minor changes ,  this kernel 4.18.0-80.11.2 built by gcc 4.8 ,  kernel can be built successfully 
                       AR: summary the changes and send to mail list. 
                   * rt kernel build status (kernel 4.18.0-147.3.1.rt24.96) , 
                         * 3.10 patch rebase , config update are remaining 
                   * python3 enable on master ?  which is the preferred repo to upgrade to python3  besides NFV 
                      start this task now. 
                   * Ussuri  host openstack (oslo , keystone , barbican , horizon and openstack client )  upgrade ?  plan 
                      openstack client containerization  no resource assign ,  some early study have been done by Stephan, 
                      timeline for Ussuri official release on CentOS8 should be risk . 
                   *the target , plan and goal on stx 4.0 feature ? 
                        target : end of March to finish kernel(std and rt) upgrade 
                        depends on centos8  rpms readiness (openstack), the minimum  target is kernel upgrade . 
                        - any new stx.4.0 feature depends on kernel 4.18 ?
                        -  when will involve test team 
              - how about centos8 branch ?  shall we continue if we fully switch to incremental upgrade. 
                 keep centos8 branch, and do test on some user space rpms upgrade.
