14:10:59 <whoami-rajat> Midcycle 2 : Wednesday 14th February 2024 (1400-1600 UTC)
14:11:08 <whoami-rajat> if the above dates are conflicting with any other major event
14:11:54 <whoami-rajat> let's get back to this next week when we have the whole team back
14:12:16 <whoami-rajat> that was all for the announcements
14:12:26 <whoami-rajat> anyone has anything else to announce?
14:14:00 <whoami-rajat> ok, let's move to topics
14:14:10 <whoami-rajat> #topic Unassigned Work items from PTG
14:14:34 <whoami-rajat> there were 2 items from PTG discussions that were unassigned
14:14:44 <whoami-rajat> 1) fixing RBD retype regressed in Wallaby
14:14:45 <whoami-rajat> 2) Encryption retype
14:15:31 <whoami-rajat> if anyone is interested, feel free to work on it
14:15:48 <whoami-rajat> but please make the team aware before doing it else 2 people might end up working on same thing
14:17:07 <whoami-rajat> that's all for this topic, moving on
14:17:14 <whoami-rajat> #topic Review priorities for M-1
14:17:39 <whoami-rajat> there are 2 things that we should review on priority (one of them at least)
14:17:44 <whoami-rajat> 1. SqlAlchemy 2.0 support
14:17:53 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/880657
14:18:03 <whoami-rajat> there are 5 patches in the relation chain on the right side
14:18:16 <whoami-rajat> Mostly S or XS patches so should be a quick review
14:18:54 <jungleboyj> ++
14:18:55 <whoami-rajat> we need to get this support in before M1 so OpenStack can start using sqlalchemy 2.0
14:19:10 <whoami-rajat> as per stephen, only cinder and manila projects are remaining
14:19:21 <eharney> i'm working on "fixing RBD retype regressed in Wallaby"
14:19:22 <whoami-rajat> so that also doesn't reflect good on our project!
14:19:55 <jbernard> whoami-rajat: i can look at / test the sqlalchemy patches
14:19:57 <whoami-rajat> eharney, oh ok, i thought you mentioned that you will find someone to work on it
14:20:07 <whoami-rajat> good to know
14:20:12 <whoami-rajat> so we have only one item unassigned
14:20:17 <whoami-rajat> jbernard, great, thanks!
14:21:26 <whoami-rajat> ok next is
14:21:29 <whoami-rajat> 2. NFS extend in-use volume support spec
14:21:40 <whoami-rajat> this has been dragging for past 2 releases
14:21:57 <whoami-rajat> the nova team and the author are not happy that it's been on hold from cinder side
14:22:24 <whoami-rajat> so I've planned to prioritize this feature to get it in early since it also requires nova side changes
14:22:38 <whoami-rajat> for now the spec is a reproposal with minor edits
14:22:49 <whoami-rajat> so we can get that in faster
14:23:14 <whoami-rajat> i was anyway going through the whole spec to see if i missed something there but if people have the context about it
14:23:29 <whoami-rajat> they can go ahead and vote on it
14:24:28 <whoami-rajat> any doubts/concerns on this topic?
14:26:54 <whoami-rajat> okay, let's move to the next topic then
14:27:07 <whoami-rajat> #topic New structure for review request section
14:27:31 <whoami-rajat> so we discussed during the PTG that the current way of requesting reviews is not so good
14:28:00 <whoami-rajat> the long list of patches demotivates reviewers from taking a look
14:28:16 <zaitcev> Heck I didn't even know review requests existed, I always re-scan everything
14:28:42 <whoami-rajat> zaitcev, it's on the etherpad, right after announcements and Topics
14:28:55 <whoami-rajat> so the new structure is as follows
14:28:57 <whoami-rajat> One author can only add one patch for review
14:28:57 <whoami-rajat> The patch should be based on the approaching deadling
14:28:57 <whoami-rajat> Eg: If M-2 is upcoming, driver reviews is a priority but if M-3 is upcoming, features are a priority.
14:28:57 <whoami-rajat> There should be a comment regarding the patch being added
14:28:57 <whoami-rajat> This could be a simple explanation of what the patch is doing or the current status of the patch
14:29:31 <whoami-rajat> that pretty much addresses all the concerns we had with it during the PTG
14:29:41 <whoami-rajat> but if not, happy to modify it
14:29:51 <rosmaita> that sounds reasonable
14:30:14 <whoami-rajat> is akawai around?
14:30:18 <jungleboyj> Sounds good.
14:30:21 <akawai> yes
14:31:02 <whoami-rajat> akawai, i can see you have added patches to the review request section, can you go through the above guidelines and update your review request?
14:31:26 <akawai> i see.
14:31:49 <whoami-rajat> this will help reviewers focus on what is important and can plan their review bandwidth accordingly
14:32:36 <whoami-rajat> rosmaita, jungleboyj thanks for going through it
14:33:05 <whoami-rajat> that's all from my side
14:33:21 <whoami-rajat> we don't have any more topics
14:33:25 <whoami-rajat> so let's move to open discussion
14:33:28 <whoami-rajat> #topic open discussion
14:36:03 <whoami-rajat> i guess we can end early today
14:36:15 <whoami-rajat> thanks everyone for joining
14:36:28 <jungleboyj> Thank you!
14:36:30 <bryanneumann> Thank you!
14:36:35 <whoami-rajat> don't forget to follow up on the PTG action items
