Similarly, we've been adding +better CI coverage (good) while at the same time our gate jobs have +become increasingly unstable (not due to the new tests, there are some +old failures which seem to be occurring more often). + +We need to add some new core reviewers in Xena. Luckily, some people +have been increasing their review participation recently, so there are +community members getting themselves into a position to help the project +in this capacity. (And anyone else currently working on cinder project +who's interested becoming a cinder core, please contact me (or any of +the current cores) to discuss what the expectations are.) + +We'll also be making it a priority to improve the gate jobs (or else +we'll never be able to get anything merged). + +As far as community activity goes, the multiple virtual mid-cycle +meetings have continued to be productive, and the cinder meeting in +videoconference that we've been having once a month seems popular and +gives us a break from the strict IRC meeting format. There's support to +make the Festival of XS Reviews a recurring event, and Sofia has +proposed holding a separate (short) bug meeting which we'll start doing +soon. Hopefully all these events will help keep current contributors +engaged and make it easier for other people to participate more fully. + +With respect to the details of Cinder development in Xena, I expect +those to emerge from our virtual PTG discussions in April. You can help +set the agenda here: + https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/xena-ptg-cinder-planning + +Thanks for reading this far, and thank you for your consideration. + + +Brian Rosmaita (rosmaita)
