We're solidly setting sail on the Ussuri river for the next six 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.

Housekeeping Items

Want to Help Us Prep for RDO Ussuri Test Day Milestone ONE?

We are conducting an RDO test day on 19 and 20 December 2019.

This will be coordinated through the #rdo channel on Freenode, via http://rdoproject.org/testday/ussuri/milestone1/ and the dev@lists.rdoproject.org mailing list.

We'll be testing the first Ussuri milestone release. If you can do any testing on your own ahead of time, that will help ensure that everyone isn't encountering the same problems.

If you’re keen to help set up, mentor, or debrief, please reach out to leanderthal on Freenode IRC #rdo and #tripleo.

RDO Changes

RDO Community Meeting Shifts Times

After two weeks of discussion on the mailing list and within the weekly meeting, RDO Community has shifted their weekly irc meeting time to one hour EARLIER 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!

Community News

Community Meetings

Every Tuesday at 13:30 UTC, we have a weekly TripleO CI community meeting on https://meet.google.com/bqx-xwht-wky with the agenda on https://hackmd.io/IhMCTNMBSF6xtqiEd9Z0Kw. 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.

Every Tuesday at 14:00 UTC, immediately following the TripleO CI meeting is the weekly TripleO Community meeting on the #TripleO channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a public etherpad. This is for addressing anything to do with TripleO, including usage, feature requests, and bug reports.

Every Wednesday at 14:00 UTC, we have a weekly RDO community meeting on the #RDO channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a public etherpad and the minutes from the meeting are posted on the RDO website. 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.

Every Thursday at 15:00 UTC, there is a weekly CentOS Cloud SIG meeting on the #centos-devel channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a public etherpad and the minutes from the meeting are posted on the RDO website. 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

OpenStack News

Project Teams Gathering Reports Are Here

Several OpenStack project teams, SIGs and working groups met during the Project Teams Gathering in Shanghai to prepare the Ussuri development cycle. Reports are starting to be posted to the openstack-discuss mailing-list. Here are the ones that are posted so far:

Neutron Needs YOU!

Sławek Kapłoński, the Neutron PTL, recently reported that neutron-fwaas, neutron-vpnaas, neutron-bagpipe and neutron-bgpvpn are lacking interested maintainers. The Neutron team will drop those modules from future official OpenStack releases if nothing changes by the ussuri-2 milestone, February 14. If you are using those features and would like to step up to help, now is your chance!

What’s In A Name

We are looking for a name for the ‘V’ release of OpenStack, to follow the Ussuri release. Learn more about it in this post by Sean McGinnis.

Fancy a Cup of Tea?

Why, yes, please - with plenty of milk and two sugars. The next OpenStack Ops meetup is in London, UK on 7-8 January.
