21:27:22 mriedem "Sydney marks the start of Rocky's release cycle, where ideas and requirements will be gathered. Users should aim to come armed with feedback from Augusts's Pike release if at all possible."
21:28:08 cdent “on the priorities and 'blue sky' ideas for the next release.” is both terrifying and exciting
21:28:15 mriedem we had some sessions in boston which were "here is a problem, this is what we plan on doing about it, does that work for you opsy people?"
21:28:32 mriedem i don't know what we have like that for queens
21:28:41 cdent huh, I thought ptg was the replacement for the midcycle, not forum for the midcycle
21:28:56 cdent mriedem: is that because the dance card is full?
21:28:57 dansmith the format of the midcycle was moved to ptg
21:29:06 dansmith instead of design summit style
21:29:10 mriedem and the ptg replaced the dev summit at the start of the release
21:29:12 dansmith but they shifted the schedle
21:29:15 dansmith right
21:29:40 mriedem so now it's semi scheduled blocks of things in a midcycle setting with no ops or users
21:29:55 mriedem well, some ops
21:30:04 mriedem cburgess and med_ <3
21:30:22 edleafe cdent: PTG is supposed to be planning for the upcoming cycle. Forum is supposed to be more like a midcycle
21:30:42 mriedem except midcycles of yore weren't time boxed
21:30:52 mriedem and didn't cost $3000 to go to
21:30:55 dansmith more like a midcycle, meaning scheduling
21:31:02 cdent edleafe: that’s not at all my understanding, and nor does it correspond to the email that mriedem just linked to
21:31:30 dansmith cdent: certainly you've noticed that the early messaging, the late messaging, and the actual intent for changing things are totally disjoint :)
21:31:34 mriedem there are numerous flame wars on what the ptg is and isn't, or supposed to be or not, in the ML, so probably don't need to enumerate those here
21:31:52 cdent dansmith: yes, very true, but I _never_ thought the forum was a midcycle
21:32:13 dansmith right, all I'm saying is I hope that if we need to have discussions for in-progress things, we can do that as that was part of why the midcycle was important.. for rescuing things that were flailing before it was too late
21:32:33 mriedem dansmith: we can, if you can figure out what those things are going to be in the next 8 days :)
21:32:34 edleafe cdent: no, not a midcycle, but that would be the time to make sure you are on course for completing what you set out to do at the PTG
21:32:51 edleafe dansmith: sorta jinx
21:32:53 cdent if that’s an expectation people have, I think they will be disappointed
21:32:56 dansmith edleafe: exactly
21:33:02 mriedem dansmith: and minus a lot of the developers involved
21:33:05 cdent a) there won’t be time, b) there won’t be the people
21:33:09 dansmith mriedem: certainly for this one
21:33:13 cdent b jinx with mriedem
21:33:28 cdent we should treat it as feedback time
21:33:45 mriedem ^ is why i'd rather just sit in on ops sessions
21:33:49 edleafe many developers couldn't get companies to pay for the midcycles, since it wasn't an "official" event
21:34:10 cdent mriedem: maybe just make that so then? state: we’re not gonna do nova-oriented forum sessions, we’re going to go to ops ones
21:34:37 mriedem cdent: that will be the case if we don't have anything to propose
21:34:42 mriedem which might just happen naturally
21:34:53 cdent I suspect most people whould approve of that, especially if you spread the idea around
21:35:07 mriedem ultimately i just don't want to have to propose topics to fill time
21:35:27 mriedem s/i/us/we/everyone/
21:35:54 dansmith the topics we proposed in boston were pretty well-attended by ops no?
21:36:56 mriedem yeah
21:37:18 mriedem some of the stuff we talked about in boston is just carrying over into queens
21:37:29 mriedem so that's where i'm thinking, this isn't news, this is stuff we're still working on
21:37:45 openstackgerrit Eric Berglund proposed openstack/nova master: Add PowerVM hypervisor configuration doc https://review.openstack.org/505665
21:37:50 dansmith I think if we don't propose sessions to get specific feedback from ops, we'll be perceived as not caring to gather input, even if the actual goal is to attend other things
21:38:15 mriedem i don't know what specifically we're trying to get feedback on
21:38:48 mriedem and we've done the general ops feedback sessions in the past which weren't well attended
21:39:37 mriedem getting feedback from pike would be great, hell even ocata
21:39:49 dansmith isn't that likely to be the outcome if we just say we're not proposing things and expect everyone else to do it?
21:40:36 mriedem so are you thinking like a pike feedback session?
21:41:03 dansmith I think that by the time that rolls around several of the people we know of as early movers will be on pike already
21:41:11 dansmith cern, vexxhost already being there, etc
21:42:03 mriedem L10 in https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/SYD-ops-session-ideas
21:42:21 mriedem we do have the project update talk for pike
21:42:47 dansmith surely someone has an opinion on the quotas changes by that point
21:42:50 mriedem i'm totally fine with a pike feedback / update session if people are armed with issues/questions
21:42:52 melwitt I think a good topic would be something like "upgrades", how did it go when you upgraded nova and what issues did you run into, what would make it easier
21:43:08 mriedem ok, so,
21:43:18 mriedem you all know you can throw stuff in this etherpad right?
21:43:20 openstackgerrit OpenStack Proposal Bot proposed openstack/os-traits master: Updated from global requirements https://review.openstack.org/503646
21:43:26 melwitt I know we've covered it before in the past but it's kind of a moving target I think. each release has its own upgrade gotchas
21:43:30 melwitt yes, sorry
21:43:44 dansmith mriedem: sure, but ya'll were arguing about not having anything here
21:44:31 mriedem i'm basically just trolling myself at this point
21:44:35 melwitt in my case, my brain is totally fried from the PTG and the ideas are emerging slowly
21:44:38 mriedem right
21:44:40 mriedem same here
21:45:04 dansmith mriedem: do you want my alternate color up on L20 or to delete your dupes on L37?
21:45:05 mriedem i would love to have ops people come armed with issues/questions for a pike feedback session
21:45:10 dansmith er, 38-39
21:45:43 mriedem a lot of times i feel like we get a room full of people and then are pushing the topics on them, without much response unless you cattle prod someone
21:46:01 dansmith same goes for us just waiting for other people to propose topics
21:46:15 edleafe mriedem: are you bringing a cattle prod to Sydney?
21:46:26 mriedem edleafe: kangerprod
21:46:32 mriedem i think you can get them at the corner store
21:46:49 edleafe damn you, I was typing that!
22:05:50 dansmith mriedem: did you see this? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/506370/
22:06:03 dansmith I don't think the bot barfed it into here else I missed it
22:06:24 mriedem ha, no
22:07:47 mriedem http://docs-draft.openstack.org/70/506370/1/check/gate-nova-docs-ubuntu-xenial/08cdb00//doc/build/html/reference/live-migration.html
22:07:58 dansmith I almost have migration_uuid claims working for cold migration
22:08:13 dansmith gibi laid down the gauntlet with his tests
22:09:51 mriedem efried: you're a docs machine
22:10:13 efried mriedem I was waiting for that to build so I could send you the rendered version. But you what, did it locally?
22:10:24 mriedem no looked at the job results
22:10:28 efried oh, you found it before it was done, cool.
22:10:36 mriedem status.openstack.org/zuul
22:10:37 melwitt he probably spied it on the zuul status page
22:10:39 efried So it ain't perfect, but it's not bad.
22:10:41 melwitt dammit
22:10:55 mriedem efried: 1000% better than what we have today, which is nothing
22:11:14 mriedem you'll have to add that new dependency to global-requirements
22:11:20 efried It's already there
22:13:14 efried Oh - I misread the dot version: https://github.com/openstack/requirements/blob/master/global-requirements.txt#L424
22:13:59 efried mriedem Do you want to add some words around that doc in this patch?
22:15:54 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: Live Migration sequence diagram https://review.openstack.org/506370
22:16:08 efried mriedem Fixed that version and added co-author line ^
22:17:25 mriedem we can describe the operations in a follow up
