Hey Nova and Placement folks,
|
|
|
|
Despite me saying that Antelope would have been my last cycle as PTL, I have to
|
|
fight the evidence : our project needs more contributors and we're struggled by
|
|
our current dynamics. That's why I'm hereby proposing to act as PTL for this
|
|
Bobcat release.
|
|
|
|
When looking at the mirror, we tried a couple of things te lower the entry
|
|
barrier in order to contribute to the Nova/Placement community :
|
|
- we had a productive meet-and-greet session at the Berlin summit
|
|
- we introduced a Review-Priority Gerrit label for identifying upstream interest
|
|
- people volunteered for upstream bug triage on a weekly basis
|
|
- we tried to minimize merge conflicts by ordering API changes
|
|
|
|
Those different efforts worked pretty well for helping the Nova project to get
|
|
more hands willing to solve problems, but it didn't helped that far the
|
|
reviewing dynamics. Yes, we not only need contributors that contribute but we
|
|
also need contributors that review what others contribute.
|
|
During this Bobcat cycle, I'll propose a couple of incentives in that direction.
|
|
|
|
This release is also special because it will be our first 'not-SLURP' [1] one.
|
|
As a PTL, I'll take an attention to track all the developments so we can
|
|
identify the necessary knobs in order to make this 'skipped' release a painless
|
|
experience for our operators.
|
|
|
|
Last but certainly not the least, the recent weeks showed us how fragile we are
|
|
when our Zuul gate gets cold. I'll continue to propose help, support and
|
|
visibility for our beloved firefighters that dig into those problems, including
|
|
the stable branches which are crucial for many consumers of those branches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway, nothing can happen magically, we need hands.
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
-Sylvain
