mnasertc-members: i feel this is somewhat relevant to us because cirros is a big part of our ci infra, but i've been trying to get a new release that has https://bugs.launchpad.net/cirros/+bug/1813319 fixed (with the long hard work of nowster to get to to build) with no success for 2 months12:34
openstackLaunchpad bug 1813319 in CirrOS "Arm64 image requires a kernel and grub update to work" [Undecided,Fix released]12:34
mnaserwhat should we do about it?12:34
jrollhave you emailed smoser directly?12:37
jrolland/or if he's still at canonical, do we have anyone there who can physically poke him?12:37
jrollif he isn't up for continuing maintenance, we could probably take it over12:38
*** Luzi has joined #openstack-tc12:47
* mnaser doesn't know12:52

*** ijolliffe has joined #openstack-tc12:59
jrolldid anyone ask in #cirros?12:59
jrollah, smoser isn't online13:00
mnaseri mean i've only been asking for 2 months :P13:06
jrollsorry, you asked for suggestions how to get this released, I don't know where or how you've been asking, other than comments in the bug13:07
jrollif you're really asking "can we replace cirros", just ask that instead13:07
mnaseri don't want us to replace cirros but i'm thinking if it's appropriate at this point that we take the repo, put it on opendev, setup ci there for it and publish our own releases of cirros13:09
mnaseri actually dont think there's a better alternative imho13:09
jrollpersonally, I'd have a conversation with scott about how we can work together better, or if he'd rather us take it over, or something else13:10
jrollrather than just fork it13:10
mnaserlooks like scott is at cisco now, no longer at ubuntu13:13
* mnaser will personally email13:13
jrolloh interesting13:13
mnaser(since january, according to linkedin)13:13
jrollthanks for reaching out to him :)13:14
mnaservoila, sent13:18
mnaseri'll keep everyone updated on this13:19

mnaserSome form of feedback, critical or not by a community member towards the TC.  Take it as you want.. but good to consume anyways and keep in mind imho.17:43

fungithanks for highlighting18:10
fungii still believe that the eventual success of a project depends more on the cohesiveness of its community than its technical superiority (because what good is technically superior software if nobody wants to maintain it), and so leadership taking perceptions and people's feelings into account is very important18:14
fungieven if it would sometimes be easier to just be an offensive ass18:14
fungi(and i say this as someone who is a bit antisocial and does indeed find it easier to offend and distance people, but tries very hard to not let that drive his decision-making)18:16
smcginnisI read that less as an issue with people's feelings and more to do with not letting those feeling prevent someone from actually making sure everyone is trying to build roughly the same thing.18:17
smcginnisI've seen a lot of people get along just fine, but actually had wildly different things in mind as to what it was they were working on or towards.18:17
fungii concur, though think that's inevitable in a community of 2k+ developers18:18
fungii definitely appreciate edleafe's feedback, and take is as a request to herd projects a little more forcefully18:18
zanebI agree with him that a lack of leadership, including an inexplicable unwillingness by the TC to actually exercise leadership, has hurt OpenStack18:32
zanebbut it's difficult to believe that anybody in 2019 still thinks a BDFL is the solution18:32
fungisabdfl still seems to think so18:32
zanebfungi: how's that working out for him?18:33
fungiyou'd have to ask him18:33
zanebI'd rather not have to listen to him18:33
*** tdasilva has quit IRC18:33
fungithat's a fair point18:34
zanebhe might try to sell me a used car or something18:34
fungi(or a used phone)18:34
fungiit's also hard to know where the tc has failed to provide leadership. i think we've struck a fair balance between providing compass direction and letting the people doing software development also choose their own adventure18:35
fungifolks are always going to be displeased on both sides of that compromise18:35
zanebI think all the fights over adding new projects and the big tent reform were a clear sign of disunity under the surface. instead of bringing that to a head and resolving it, we were content to allow people to just keep building in different directions18:41
zanebit's hard not to see that as a failure of leadership18:41
fungii see the options there as we could have told folks they were welcome to work on what they wanted as part of openstack, or to go away18:47
fungiwe could have chosen to tell them to go away, and i'm willing to accept that may not have been as negative of an outcome as the tc was concerned it could be18:48
mnaserperphas thats more sustainable now (work on you want want) and before (when we had zillions of resources) it was better to be more setrict18:48
zanebwell, we finally ratified a vision document in 2018. can anyone dispute that it would have been better had we done that in 2013?18:55
fungiit would have been better if openstack had realized in 2010/2011 that it needed a "vision" in the first place, sure18:59
zanebexactly19:00
fungithough i get the impression providing a vision isn't the sort of "telling people what to work on" that edleafe has in mind19:00
fungicertainly worth asking him19:02
zanebI don't know if that's what he meant or not19:04
*** diablo_rojo has quit IRC19:26
fungii honestly think most of the hindsight objections to lack of direction stem from the choice to provide "cloud" services when there was no clear definition of what that mean, no coherent set of requirements from users, and an awful lot of buzz leading to companies wanting to stake their claim and write those definitions. we were at the forefront of a phase shift in systems operation, and doing our best19:27
fungito provide tools which could accelerate whatever folks were trying to do related to that. i actually think the indecision and experimentation were a good thing, and i don't think trying to tell users what they needed would have turned out well. but it's hard to know19:27
fungiit's at least somewhat easier now to look back and be more certain where things were headed, and what we *should* have steered projects towards19:28
fungibut the lack of a crystal ball was a hindrance19:29
zanebthere's a lot of truth in that. but there were two prominent proprietary examples to emulate, we failed to say which one we wanted to follow, and where we chose to go a different path we often failed to articulate the underlying reasons in ways that could help the whole community better understand the direction19:43
fungii definitely agree with those observations19:56
fungii'm also not sure we should have necessarily emulated either of the prominent examples, but yes explaining why we didn't would have been useful19:57
