Ceph leadership team meeting 2021-03-31

The Ceph leadership team is composed primarily of team leads for the various Ceph components. We meet weekly [1] to discuss project direction, technical challenges, and plan events. The meeting minutes are recorded on the Ceph etherpad [0]. Anyone involved in the project is welcome to join. Today we discussed some build issues relating to the release of Pacific. A container build for CentOS 8 is failing in Shaman but built for release. nfs-ganesha is also being built for CentOS 7 but not 8. A fix [5] is in the works. Following build discussions, a round of Kraken rum was dispensed to celebrate the successful and imminent release of Pacific. There are also new plans to host a monthly meeting for the Ceph Dashboard to synchronize with component developers with an aim towards improving cross-talk between developers and reducing dashboard breakage with new code. Future discussion on this will take place at the CDS next week. Quincy is in planning now. In lieu of Cephalocon, we are hosting a Ceph Developer Summit (CDS) to synchronize with community and discuss plans for Quincy development. Some proposed topics are stored in etherpad at [3]. A blog post is in the works [4].
