months - soon we'll arrive at our first port of call, the RDO Test Day
of Milestone ONE! In the meantime, we're trying to avoid troubled waters
as we shift the RDO Community meeting time EARLIER by one whole hour.
And initial navigation has been mapped via last month's Project Teams
Gathering - if you didn't get a chance to attend, the reports are
arriving on the openstack-discuss list.</p>

<h3 id="gmail-want-to-help-us-prep-for-rdo-ussuri-test-day-milestone-one">Want to Help Us Prep for RDO Ussuri Test Day Milestone ONE?</h3>
<p>We are conducting an <a href="http://rdoproject.org/testday/ussuri/milestone1/">RDO test day on 19 and 20 December 2019</a>.</p>
<p>This will be coordinated through the <strong>#rdo channel on Freenode</strong>, via <a href="http://rdoproject.org/testday/ussuri/milestone1/">http://rdoproject.org/testday/ussuri/milestone1/</a> and the <a href="https://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/dev">dev@lists.rdoproject.org</a> mailing list.</p>
<p>We'll be testing the first <a href="https://releases.openstack.org/ussuri/schedule.html">Ussuri milestone release</a>. If you can do any testing on your own ahead of time, that will help ensure that everyone isn't encountering the same problems.</p>
<p>If you’re keen to help set up, mentor, or debrief, please reach out to leanderthal on Freenode IRC #rdo and #tripleo.</p>

<h3 id="gmail-rdo-community-meeting-shifts-times">RDO Community Meeting Shifts Times</h3>
<p>After two weeks of discussion on the mailing list and within the weekly meeting, RDO Community has shifted their <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/RDO-Meeting">weekly irc meeting time</a> to one hour <strong>EARLIER</strong>
making it begins at 1400 UTC/ 1500 CET / 1000 EDT / 0730 IST as of
Wednesday 05th December 2019. Many thanks to everyone who collaborated
to make this change!</p>
<h2 id="gmail-community-news"><a name="community"></a>Community News</h2>
<h3 id="gmail-community-meetings">Community Meetings</h3>
<p>Every Tuesday at 13:30 UTC, we have a weekly <strong>TripleO CI community meeting</strong> on <a href="https://meet.google.com/bqx-xwht-wky">https://meet.google.com/bqx-xwht-wky</a> with the agenda on <a href="https://hackmd.io/IhMCTNMBSF6xtqiEd9Z0Kw">https://hackmd.io/IhMCTNMBSF6xtqiEd9Z0Kw</a>.
The TripleO CI meeting focuses on a group of people focusing on
Continuous Integration tooling and system who would like to provide a
comprehensive testing framework that is easily reproducible for TripleO
contributors. This framework should also be consumable by other CI
systems (OPNFV, RDO, vendor CI, etc.), so that TripleO can be tested the
same way everywhere. This is NOT a place for TripleO usage questions,
rather, check out the next meeting listed just below.</p>
<p>Every Tuesday at 14:00 UTC, immediately following the TripleO CI meeting is the weekly <strong>TripleO Community meeting</strong> on the #TripleO channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tripleo-meeting-items">public etherpad</a>. This is for addressing anything to do with TripleO, including usage, feature requests, and bug reports.</p>
<p>Every Wednesday at 14:00 UTC, we have a weekly <strong>RDO community meeting</strong> on the #RDO channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/RDO-Meeting">public etherpad</a> and the minutes from the meeting are posted <a href="https://www.rdoproject.org/community/community-meeting/">on the RDO website</a>.
If there's something you'd like to see happen in RDO - a package that
is missing, a tool that you'd like to see included, or a change in how
things are governed - this is the best time and place to help make that
happen.</p>
<p>Every Thursday at 15:00 UTC, there is a weekly <strong>CentOS Cloud SIG meeting</strong> on the #centos-devel channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/centos-cloud-sig">public etherpad</a> and the minutes from the meeting are posted <a href="https://www.rdoproject.org/contribute/cloud-sig-meeting/">on the RDO website</a>.
This meeting makes sense for people that are involved in packaging
OpenStack for CentOS and for people that are packaging OTHER cloud infra
things (OpenNebula, CloudStack, Euca, etc) for CentOS. “Alone we can do
so little; together we can do so much.” - Helen Keller</p>

modules from future official OpenStack releases if nothing changes by
the ussuri-2 milestone, February 14. If you are using those features and
