Topics for this week
- Zuul Issues
     - Support for py27 was removed from zuul earlier this week. This resulted in code failing to merge.

ARs from Previous Meetings
- None

Open Requests for Help
- StarlingX Support on ARM
     - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-February/013819.html
     - Not currently supported on StarlingX, but should be more doable with the move to Debian and the yocto kernel
     - ARM Support would definitely require work to support, including build system support
     - A few years ago MarkA and Greg did some prototype work on orange-pie
     - MarkA will respond to the mailing list and further the conversation
     - Perhaps the reporter is interested in doing some work towards this
     - Would be ideal to invite the reporter to the PTG or an upcoming community call
- stx-openstack apply failed after enabling cpu_dedicated_setInbox
     - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-January/013720.html
     - https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-January/013724.html
     - Seen w/ stx.7.0. Issue only happens when setting cpu dedicated CPUs on a running system. During the unlock, the openstack fails to re-apply.
     - LP: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/2002157
          - Assigned to Thales; not investigated yet; team focused on stx.8.0 and openstack sanity. 
          - Reached out to reporter, so they have a view of the status. They're fine to wait until the team has bandwidth
- Documenting Tested Hardware by the community
          - Action: Scott Kamp will discuss documenting community tested hardware with the TSC
