| ttx | the talk voting, i think, achieves two objectives: (1) give a basic set of inputs to help track chairs select talks, and (2) generate noise/excitement around the conference | 09:21 |
|---|---|---|
| ttx | Talk voting however makes for a pretty bad input set. There was this proposed system of peer selection, giving each speaker a random set of n talks to rate, and use that instead. | 09:24 |
| ttx | however that fails objective (2) :) | 09:25 |

| persia | Trick is balancing the benefits of cross-community pollination vs. cross-community irritation. Leaving it to speakers theoretically allows OpenStack to disavow the misbehaviour, but that may not overcome the distaste. | 13:56 |

| dmsimard | Ouch, glance almost becoming single vendor is worrying -- did the "top 5 help requested" ever translate into anything meaningful ? | 19:38 |
| *** lbragstad_ has joined #openstack-tc | 19:41 | |
| cdent | dmsimard: it depends on how you ask. What was discovered at the time was that the discussion surrounding its inclusion on the list was useful for drawing attention to the problem, but the list itself, not so much. | 19:42 |

| smcginnis | Glance was single vendor after ocata, briefly became multivendor in pike, now back again. | 20:48 |
| *** ChanServ has quit IRC | 21:02 | |
| dmsimard | smcginnis: yeah, but it shouldn't be that way. Without Glance you can't do much, it's one of the core projects and should get (diverse) attention accordingly. I guess there's not much room for vendor implementation when compared to nova/neutron/cinder. | 21:07 |
| *** ChanServ has joined #openstack-tc | 21:11 | |
| *** barjavel.freenode.net sets mode: +o ChanServ | 21:11 | |
| smcginnis | dmsimard: I completely agree it should not be that way. | 21:12 |
| smcginnis | dmsimard: And I back that up even :) http://stackalytics.com/?module=glance-group&release=queens | 21:12 |
| * dmsimard nods | 21:13 | |
| cmurphy | from that chart glance doesn't look that bad, keystone is about the same http://stackalytics.com/?module=keystone-group&release=queens | 21:20 |
| mtreinish | cmurphy: well except keystone has ~3x the reviews... | 21:24 |
| cmurphy | true | 21:25 |
| persia | To be fair, part of that is that glance is semi-stable at this point: while there are things that could go faster, there's not a lot of room for feature growth, etc. (in part because other projects depend on glance stability) | 21:34 |
| smcginnis | That is true. There's some important work to be done there, but for the most part, glance is a mostly stable thing. | 21:36 |
| mtreinish | persia: I disagree with that. It only feels semi-stable, it's not because of a conscious effort for stability, but more because of general inactivity | 21:36 |
| persia | mtreinish: That differs with the impression I've had over the past year or so, but my impression is largely second-hand. I shall refresh my impression with the glance team when next I have the chance. | 21:38 |
| persia | That said, it may be that the limited number of folk working on the project has lead to a desire within the project for stability, to avoid overload, but some advertisement of what could be done might help with both of those things. | 21:38 |
| mtreinish | persia: well part of it is the "feature" work the past few cycles is on things that most people don't actually use | 21:42 |
| mtreinish | and the generally low speed things move just makes it seem like nothing changes | 21:43 |
| dmsimard | Either that or refactors to improve things which aren't particularly exciting | 21:43 |
| mtreinish | dmsimard: it's not really that | 21:43 |
| mtreinish | heh, although I guess excitment level is a relative thing | 21:44 |
| dmsimard | mtreinish: I remember that being brought up last time glance contributions were discussed on the ML, I don't have first hand experience as I don't personally contribute to glance on a regular basis | 21:44 |
| mtreinish | dmsimard: well here's an example: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/525994/ the tasks api there is where a lot of work has been happening | 21:45 |
| mtreinish | which currently doesn't work with uwsgi as indicated in that backport patch | 21:45 |
| mtreinish | but a lot of large operators don't care because it's not used (the only example I know of using it is rax) | 21:46 |
| persia | I feel like this is a useful conversation, but that there are participants missing. | 21:49 |
| cdent | persia: welcome to openstack? | 21:49 |
| TheJulia | cdent: Indeed | 21:50 |
| dmsimard | mtreinish: should I parse that as an expectation of operators to contribute back ? | 21:50 |
| mtreinish | dmsimard: they did, the backport was proposed by operators | 21:50 |
| mtreinish | and they're commenting on the patch saying they want the backport and indicating the tasks api isn't needed | 21:51 |
| persia | cdent: No. While there is a lot of that in many fora, my very existence in open source largely depends on helping ensure conversations happen between the appropriate counterparties. I believe that can happen with this conversation, although probably not until at least Thursday 14:00UTC, and possibly not until PTG. | 21:51 |
| cdent | persia: I'm by no means suggesting that the conversation can't or shouldn't happen, simply that it is a common thing that the right people are often not in the right place at the right time. So I'm not sure what you mean by "No". | 21:52 |
| persia | I also believe it should happen, as I have spent a fair amount of time interacting with the glance team over the past few years, and that there are features wanted that can be implemented and consumed by other projects is news to me (part of the no-new-feature effort has been related to v1->v2 transition, and worries about v3) | 21:52 |
| persia | cdent: By "No", I mean "I refuse to accept that one should have conversations without the appropriate counterparties because this is OpenStack. I refute this as a part of our culture. I shall rail against it, and do everything in my power to ensure that it is not accepted as commonplace." | 21:53 |
| persia | Mind you, I might fail :) | 21:53 |
| cdent | Ah okay. I'm totally with you. My statement that it is common is very definitely _not_ an endorsement. | 21:54 |
| persia | Be careful. You carry a large reputation, and the dulcet tones of sardonicism do not always translate to IRC :) | 21:55 |
| cdent | I would have though my repucation would precede me on this particular topic; all I ever say is "let's have more useful conversations" | 21:56 |
| smcginnis | I wonder if our "top 5 help wanted" or "most wanted" or whatever it is now needs a little more, kind of like we started having champions for the goals. | 21:57 |
| smcginnis | It seems like each item in the list should have a landing page, wiki or whatever, where interested people can go to get more details. | 21:57 |
| smcginnis | It's one things to say "glance needs help" and leave it to the interpretor what that entails. | 21:57 |
| smcginnis | It's another to have that go to a Glance Help Wanted page that lists specific areas where reviews are needed or where someone needs to do some design work for implementing something new that's needed or refactoring something existing. | 21:58 |
| smcginnis | We need some guide rails to get these potential people more directly to the work we would like to see happen. | 21:58 |
| cdent | smcginnis your comments raise a thought I've had tickling at the back of mind | 21:58 |
| persia | My fear with the top-5 is that it becomes a goal to be accepted in the 5. It may be useful to redirect that energy into identifying what work could/should happen that can be attractive enough to acquire resources. | 21:59 |
| cdent | we have a comment mental model which is that people rock up to openstack looking for something useful to do | 21:59 |
| cdent | how many of the incoming contributors are of that form | 21:59 |
| persia | Asking who-wants-what is a good start, rather than "this project (participant names rubbed off) needs help (for unspecified things)". | 21:59 |
| cdent | and how many are of the form "I was hired to work on openstack, some internally, some upstream" | 21:59 |
| cdent | s/comment/common/ <- it's been a very long day of a lot of typing, more than usual | 21:59 |
| smcginnis | cdent: I think it could help both types. And I think we do have both. | 22:00 |
| cdent | agree there are both | 22:00 |
| cdent | but the distribution is something I don't understand | 22:00 |
| persia | cdent: Almost none. The few of that form that I have met (who I tend to refer to as "CV polishers") usually seem to go away fast because the barrier to entry for getting something working and making a change is high (even ignoring getting the change accepted). | 22:00 |
| smcginnis | Yeah, no insights there either. | 22:00 |
| smcginnis | I have a feeling we have more of the "I've been told to OpenStack" lately. | 22:00 |
| persia | Yes. I think the common new contributor is either "I've been told to OpenStack" or "I've been told to ${project}". | 22:01 |
| cdent | in which case the help wanted list needs to be delivered to managers not contributors. that's something we've said before. | 22:02 |
| persia | But this goes to my long-standing dissatisfaction with contributing orgs: I do wish they would tell these people *why*, so that there was some concrete goals they could try to accomplish. | 22:02 |
| persia | mtreinish: Relaying messages: are you free Thursday @ 14:00UTC, or would you prefer an in-person discussion? | 22:03 |
| mtreinish | persia: 1400utc is a bit early for me | 22:07 |
| mtreinish | but I'll definitely be at the ptg | 22:07 |
| persia | mtreinish: No worries. We'll have the discussion then. | 22:08 |
