kozhukalov_Hi, is anyone around?15:01
steveftaylorYes15:01
gagehugoo/15:02
kozhukalov_That is nice. More than one person  should be enough to call this event a meeting )15:02
kozhukalov_#topic Get rid of old plain provisioners (cephfs and rbd)15:03
steveftaylor+115:03
kozhukalov_The first topic for today is to get rid of this particualar thing as old plain provisioners. The details are discussed in the ML thread15:04
kozhukalov_#link https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-March/032550.html15:04
steveftaylorThose provisioners are outdated and incompatible with Ubuntu and Ceph udpates. They haven't been maintained in a long time, and rather than updating them, we should probably move to CSI and get rid of those.15:04
kozhukalov_Totally agree15:05
gagehugo+115:05
gagehugosounds good to me15:05
kozhukalov_Even more15:05
kozhukalov_for ceph csi provisioners we can also use upstream charts15:05
kozhukalov_less code to support15:05
steveftaylorI like it15:06
kozhukalov_Frankly, I even think that since ceph is not a part of openstack we could potentially use rook instead15:06
steveftaylorWe could. That's a much bigger change, but it's a good plan long term.15:07
gagehugowe've brought up using other upstream charts before in the past and it seemed to be fine, just needed someone to port everything over was the main roadblock15:07
kozhukalov_yes, this is long term15:07
kozhukalov_at least we agree about getting rid old provisioners (I am currently working on the PS for this)15:08
steveftaylorI have some really old notes somewhere documenting some issues with rook that could be problematic for us, but those are really old. It is probably that those issues have been addressed.15:09
kozhukalov_#agreed get rid of old plain provisioner in favor of using CSI15:09
steveftaylor*probable15:09
steveftaylorMaybe focus on the provisioners for now and add rook to the agenda for the next meeting?15:10
kozhukalov_#steveftaylor can you please try to find your notes and share somehow?15:10
steveftaylorYes, I can try to dig them up.15:10
kozhukalov_yes, good idea to postpone the rook discussion for later15:10
kozhukalov_Ok, thanks15:11
kozhukalov_#action steveftaylor will try to find notes about potential issues of using rook 15:12
kozhukalov_Let's then switch to the next topic15:12
kozhukalov_#topic New PTL - Vladimir Kozhukalov15:12
kozhukalov_I believe, this topic was from gagehugo15:13
kozhukalov_First of all15:13
gagehugoJust wanted to say thanks kozhukalov_ for stepping up in the role and to announce it here15:13
steveftaylorkozhukalov_: Congrats! Glad to have you here.15:14
kozhukalov_Let me say thank you to gagehugo for all his efforts during previous years15:14
kozhukalov_Thanks 15:14
gagehugothank you!15:14
steveftaylorgagehugo: Thanks for all of your efforts and well done. It's been a pleasure.15:15
kozhukalov_and our focus for the next release is 1) improve documentation 2) support Yoga and probably Zed 3) support Focal, recent Fedora and probably centos stream15:15
gagehugoThose sound like good goals15:16
kozhukalov_I am not sure I'll be in Vancouver this summer, but at least I am currnetly working to prepare good discussions during virtual PTG in the end of March15:17
gagehugokozhukalov_: there currently isn't a session for OSH at the virtual PTG due to lack of interest, so if you're wanting to host one still you may need to reach out to the organizers15:18
kozhukalov_yes, I've already done this15:18
gagehugook cool15:19
kozhukalov_diablo_rojo created a track for us in #openinfra-events15:19
kozhukalov_so we can allocate discussion slots15:20
kozhukalov_at lease we'll try to attract more people15:20
kozhukalov_Ok, then let's switch to another topic15:21
kozhukalov_yes, and before we switch, just in case here is the link for the official election results 15:21
kozhukalov_#link https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-February/032442.html15:22
kozhukalov_#topic Do we need IRC meetings?15:22
steveftaylorThis is the most active one I have ever attended. :-)15:23
kozhukalov_The idea here is that in most cases we can discuss things in ML threads and it looks like there is no much sense to have monthly IRC meetings15:23
kozhukalov_:-)15:23
gagehugoLately the IRC meetings have been pretty quiet15:24
kozhukalov_when you have smth to discuss you usually don't want to wait a month, right?15:24
gagehugoIt depends, usually no15:24
steveftaylorThe meetings used to be weekly. It has only been recently that they have been monthly because they have been so quiet.15:24
gagehugobut in the past the meeting was when you could usually assume more folks would be available15:25
kozhukalov_yes, in projects like neutron and nova it makes sense to have weekly meetings15:25
gagehugoand usually it was for longer term goals (like ceph here)15:25
steveftaylorI don't see much of a need for these meetings if we want to move these discussions to the ML.15:26
kozhukalov_Aha, I see, for long term discussions yes15:26
gagehugoif anyone wants to discuss something now, there's always this channel or slack too15:27
kozhukalov_personally, I would prefer ML discussions even for long term things15:27
kozhukalov_anyway, it does not require much effort to conduct these meetings monthly15:28
steveftaylorI agree. It may take longer to hold a discussion that way, but it also doesn't require anyone be available at a specific time.15:28
gagehugoI am neutral, I've always done the irc meetings and I think they can be useful for newcomers, but I can see the argument for moving our discussions to the mailing list15:28
gagehugowe would need to update the references in the repo and wiki to point folks to reaching out there is my main concern, but that is pretty simple15:29
gagehugoand it frees up this timeslot for folks who otherwise are likely busy15:29
kozhukalov_Ok, our opinions (but there are only three people here) are from neutral to not having meetings, but there is no strong agreement15:31
kozhukalov_so, I'll update links and add comments that ML and slack are preferable ways to communicate15:31
steveftaylorsounds good15:31
kozhukalov_but at the same time, we'll continue to have meetings15:32
kozhukalov_will see if they are active enough15:32
steveftaylorGood plan15:32
gagehugoworks for me15:32
kozhukalov_next time if there are only three people I will cancel monthly meetings15:33
steveftaylorseems fair15:33
gagehugosure15:33
kozhukalov_anyway three people is not enough to have consensus for long term things15:33
kozhukalov_#topic Open discussion15:34
gagehugoI don't have anything else15:34
steveftaylorMe neither15:35
kozhukalov_Same for me at this point15:35
kozhukalov_Thanks a lot for attending.15:35
kozhukalov_Now I am closing the meeting.15:36
gagehugokozhukalov_: thanks!15:36
