zaneblinks at https://governance.openstack.org/tc/#office-hours will convert time zones accurately for you00:03
TheJuliatonyb: I keep advocating to get rid of time zones... but some people have convinced me that there may be some value in them :\00:52
smcginnisLet's start with DST00:53
fungii also recommend switching to some manner of metric time while we're at it00:54
smcginnisAnd metric lengths.00:55
fungiand bonus points for something which handles relativistic calculations better00:55
* fungi is not looking forward to remembering how to convert between terran and titan time00:56
tonybTheJulia :)00:57
TheJuliasmcginnis: sold!00:58
TheJuliafungi: Eh, Sols are much more useful... they are what... only like 15 minutes 40-something seconds more than what we handle today...00:59
smcginnistonyb: Welcome back, by the way.00:59
tonybsmcginnis: Thanks.00:59
smcginnistonyb: Hope you had fun, because we are going to contact your management and recommend no long vacations for you again. :P01:00
fungitc-members and community at large, looks like we're already into our office hour!01:01
zanebo/01:01
fungiand now... the silence begins ;)01:02
tonybsmcginnis: I did have a lot of fun.  Now need to contact my management ... they seem to have come to the same conclusion themselves :/01:02
smcginnisMight be time for a remodel.01:02
smcginnistonyb: Hah01:02
gmanno/01:03
tonybSo I have a couple of things if only the break the silence ;P01:03
fungiplease proceed!01:03
tonybWhat's needed on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/611511/ ? It seems to have a majority +1 does it need to sit for a bit befoer dhellmann or mnaser +W it?01:04
TheJuliafungi: just for that, we should talk... constantly.01:05
* TheJulia looks01:05
tonybTheJulia: It's the "can we include train" resolution01:05
TheJulia~2 more days up for review I believe01:06
* TheJulia gauged that time window at a glance of the times01:06
TheJulias/times/dates/01:06
* TheJulia is all confused by dates and times again01:06
tonybTheJulia: okay I thought it might need to be something like that.01:07
smcginnisIt hit majority on the 22nd I think? So is it 2 days after that happens?01:07
tonybI guess I'll prepare the poll on my Monday with or without train01:08
tonybwhich is really what I was trying to work out01:08
smcginnistonyb: That would be good. I've had a couple folks asking when we would have a final T name.01:08
*** jackyzhu has joined #openstack-tc01:08
smcginnisI think it's safe to include it.01:08
* fungi suspects we already have a final t name, but we need to follow due process anyway01:09
tonybsmcginnis: I'm not sure.  I'll be done with my bit by the timem I leave for Berlin I don't know how long the tradmark stuff takes01:09
tonyb... Actually fungi whom at the foundation shoudl I ping to make sure that's happening?01:10
smcginnisI hope we're safe from being confused with air conditioners - http://www.trane.com/Index.aspx01:10
gmanntonyb: we check trademark things after poll  or during nomination ?01:10
* smcginnis hasn't seen an aspx page in ages01:10
tonybgmann: I thought it was both.  Kinda  a sniff test befoere flagging potential issues, and then a comprehensive check once the results are in01:11
TheJuliagiven the timeline to summit, it might be sane for that check to begin prior to the poll closing for train just to be on the safe side...01:11
zanebgmann: after poll01:11
smcginnisTheJulia: ++01:11
smcginnisWould be really nice to know by then.01:11
TheJulia+++++01:11
tonybYes Yes it would01:11
clarkbtonyb: lsell probably?01:11
clarkbtonyb: fungi or I can sort that but out01:12
TheJuliaIt would be a good thing to mention for the keynote if it could be wrapped quickly01:12
fungiyeah, it's been lsell in the past01:12
tonybwhen will we know where the summit after Denver is?  I'll get the ball rolling on the U name then01:12
tonybOkay.  I'll email her and CC you both01:12
fungithanks!01:13
*** lifeless has joined #openstack-tc01:13
TheJuliao/ lifeless01:13
tonyblifeless: lives!01:13
lifelessThank you, thank you.01:14
smcginnis:)01:14
tonybI did have a sencond thing but I've decided I need to think more on it before brining it to the TC01:21
TheJuliatonyb: Are you sure, there seem to be a few of us around tonight01:23
TheJuliaAt least, around at this moment.01:23
tonybTheJulia: Yeah.  It isn't urgent and I need more time to think on it01:23
* TheJulia slowly backs away from her terminal window that claims pip to be gone01:25
tonybTheJulia: hehe01:26
fungithere are at least 5/13 tc members who have chimed in01:26
fungiso don't feel like there are two few of us to get a preliminary read on something if you want to bring it up01:26
fungis/two/too/01:26
TheJuliafungi: re: train?01:26
TheJuliaoh, yeah01:26
fungithough perhaps 5 is indeed two few (two short of a strict majority) depending on what you need01:27
fungibut for anything to get far enough to come to a vote it would need to happen in a governance review in gerrit anyway01:28
tonybfungi, TheJulia: It isn't that I'm worried about attendance, it's more my opinion on what I need chnaged in the last 20'ish mins so I suspect it's too soon for me to keep up my end of an informed discussion01:29
fungiahh01:30
tonybstarted by saying I had a couple of things and wanted to explain why the 2nd thing evaporated ;P01:30
fungiwell, find us in here when you're ready, and if you're looking for a critical mass then 15:00z thursday (which i guess is friday morning for you?) is the next office hour01:31
fungino, wait, just late thursday night01:31
tonyb1500 +1100 is 0200 Friday01:32
* fungi is also terrible at timezones01:32
fungiproof! ^01:32
tonybhehe01:32
fungituesday 08:00z is another option for office hour01:32
fungier, 09:00z01:32
fungii guess /topic already has it01:33
tonybYeah I can do that one if needed.01:33
fungii keep forgetting that topic is there01:33
tonyb:)01:35
TheJuliaAt least the irc servers are in sync, otherwise the topic could be a myth01:36
gmanntonyb: we can bring 'Train' name patch in tomorrow office hour too where we can catch most of other tc also.01:50
tonybgmann: Okay thanks.01:52
*** fanzhang has joined #openstack-tc01:53
*** fanzhang has left #openstack-tc01:57
zanebit looks to me that mnaser hasn't had a chance to run the magic approvals script yet since dhellmann went on holiday. there's stuff even older than the release name thing that I believe is ready for approval01:57
fungiand i guess that's all for office hour #2 this week. thanks everyone!02:00
tonybThanks all02:05
*** fanzhang has joined #openstack-tc02:08
gmannthanks tonyb for taking care of poll hurdle. you should get free beer in summit for that :)02:14
fungior bier02:14
tonybgmann: You're welcome.  I ahve to admit it was selfishly motivated in that I want to setup the next round of elections and to do that I need to know the series name02:16
tonybgmann: but I'll take $beverage for being selfish ;P02:16

aspiersso, how's it looking for the T release being officially named "Trains"?10:46
aspiersI've probably missed an election email about that10:47
cdentaspiers: there's been discussion of allowing Train as one of the voting options. The election hasn't happened yet.11:03
aspiersah OK11:03
cdentSee: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/611511/11:03
aspierscdent: thanks, have given a strong +111:12
cdentgreat11:12
cdentI think being able to vote for it is good, but doing it by fiat not so much11:12
aspiersfunny that my internal OpenStack clock managed to pop this to the surface of my brain at just the right time11:12
aspiersagreed11:12
cdentthere's somthing rather magical about internal openstack clocks11:13
aspiersapparently so. I began to notice mine a couple of cycles ago, when I started getting a sixth sense that it was about time to search the lists for announcements about submitting sessions11:14

clarkbfwiw I think we added Grizzly to the vote list as well14:54
zanebhow many emails can you send to openstack-dev before getting throttled? I'm about to find out :)14:56
smcginnisclarkb: I think you're right. Before my time, but I remember talk that this wasn't the first time we've made an exception for a name the community wanted.14:57
zanebclarkb, smcginnis: yes, it's the 'Waldon exception' documented on https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Naming15:00
smcginnis"That exception was extended to other major landmarks and reference points." - I think we can call the train crossing a reference point.15:01
fungizaneb: wow, that's going to be rather a lot of nearly identical e-mail messages, huh?15:03
zaneb31 to be precise15:03
fungioh, so not one for every single team at least15:04
zanebthe middle bit is different15:04
zanebyeah, basically the main 'OpenStack' bucket on the map15:04
zanebwhew, done.15:18
zanebapparently any throttling kicks in at a higher limit than 3115:19
zanebnotmyname: finished my homework :D15:19
fungii think the "throttling" is that a list moderator sees a lot of e-mail and decides to put your address into forced moderation queuing15:23
fungii'm at least not aware of any automatic post throttling in mailman15:23
smcginnisThe Should Heuristically Inspect Topic list?15:24

lbragstaddoes the TC have a specific time or place to go through project health feedback individuals have collected from projects?16:00
*** jamesmcarthur has quit IRC16:00
smcginnislbragstad: We haven't so far.16:00
cdentjust at the ptg16:01
lbragstadok16:01
*** jamesmcarthur has joined #openstack-tc16:01
cdentlbragstad: I reckon doing it early and often, if there's anything of interest, is probably wise16:02
cdentI'm worried about over-formalising the process, though16:02
lbragstadok - yeah i'm just noticing some patterns and wonder if/when we go through them16:03
cdentnow? ;)16:03
lbragstadi'm wondering if we need to provide a little more guidance around using the foundation as a resource16:04
lbragstada couple projects have socialized not being able to get feedback16:04
lbragstadfrom users or operators, which is frustrating for them if they've spent 3 cycles working on a features and they don't know if they are on the right track16:05
lbragstadat the same time, it doesn't look like some of them have secured project update sessions (which can be due to limited availability anyway)16:05
cdentwe've talked about "foundation as a resource" troubles quite a lot16:05
lbragstadoh - ok, i could be behind on those discussions then16:06
cdentsometimes it is that people don't know what they can get16:06
cdentsometimes it is that they want something that the foundation doesn't provide (in this case, mostly a hammer to beat contributing companies into doing something, _anything_, to help them out)16:06
lbragstadi'm hearing a bit more of the former16:07
lbragstadbut i can see both for sure16:07
cdentI agree with you that it is _we_ that should be providing better pointers to the info16:09
zaneblbragstad: limited availability of sessions or limited availability of people to go to the Summit and present?16:09
lbragstadboth, technically i suppose16:09
lbragstadbut more so the first16:09
lbragstadlimited availability on sessions results in not every project getting an update16:10
lbragstadbut once you have a session, you can only fit so many people in a room16:10
smcginnisMost of the feedback I've been getting so far has mostly been lamenting the continued decline in participation.16:10
lbragstadi've gotten a fair bit of that, too16:11
lbragstadbut i've also gotten a couple like "we're doing stuff we think is important, but we're not sure what users think"16:11
clarkb(fwiw the user survey results come out at the berlin summit and aprice is the person to talk to foundation side about that)16:12
lbragstadnaturally - feedback sessions at the forum, project updates, and the user survey come to mind as ways to get feedback16:12
clarkbnot sure if everyone caught that when TheJulia asked16:12
lbragstadawesome - thanks clarkb16:12
smcginnisI'd also encourage them to post to the openstack-ops mailing list if they want to get end user feedback on direction.16:13
smcginnisHopefully there will be more visibility once MLs are merged.16:13
lbragstadthat's another good point16:13
cdentyeah, I think that will help and may also help to drive a bit of a change in our attitudes to contribution16:14
cdentwe should be more focused on coordinating causual contribution, not "doing stuff we think is important" in isolation16:15
cdent(not that we should solely do one or the other, but the balance is out for our level of maturity)16:15
lbragstadmaybe adding a section about ways to collect feedback to https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/ptl.html would help?16:16
smcginnisThat could be useful to collect suggestions there. Especially for new PTLs that are stepping in to the role fresh and don't have some of the background and experience as some others.16:18
lbragstadyeah16:18
