CLT Summary - 25 Jan 2023

Hi all, Here is the summary of the CLT meeting held on Jan 25th 2023: - Following up on the recent issues with the LRC, there is a desire to standardize the ops processes, clarify responsibilities and escalations now that there is no longer a single person responsible for the infrastructure. One idea is to add health alerts to the Slack #sepia channel, which David Orman volunteered to look into. It was also suggested to set up a weekly infra call to organize and eventually scrub the tracker Sepia issues weekly. Not finding a good time for this meeting, it was agreed to use the first 30mins of the CLT weekly for the time being. - Dev / Community chat seems to be centralizing on Slack, which looks popular but has a couple issues. First there was a limitation on allowed domains. Mike has cleared this and anyone should be able to register now. There is also work ongoing to bridge between Slack and IRC. (In an informal poll of the CLT, 13 responded that they will use Slack directly, and 2 will continue using IRC). - Next there was a discussion about the status of the upcoming Reef release. Josh asked that leads please update the ceph-backlog trello. Next it was discussed if the release timing should be delayed to account for the build and test infrastructure issues these past months. All leads chimed in, and it was agreed that the freeze will be moved back to the end of February, with the new target release date being end of June. The team will still target an RC to be available for Cephalocon mid-April. - tracker.ceph.com is often overloaded -- Adam will check the confirm wrt. rate limits or throttles. - There is a significant backlog in the ML moderation queues. (And also in the tracker account signup queue, which Ilya and Adam discussed how to clear). It was noted that the ML moderation is currently manual, via the web UI -- it would be appreciated if anyone knows how to enable moderation by email or some other automation. - Mike announced that ceph-devel is now archived to MARC at https://marc.info/?l=ceph-dev&r=1&b=202301&w=2 -- It was asked if MARC allows importing historical mails, which e.g. could be bundled into an mbox and uploaded somewhere. Mike will inquire. - Lastly, major kudos to everyone that pacific 16.2.11 was in the process of being published! Some user confusion re: the publishing process was discussed (e.g. currently packages trickle into the repos prior to release notes being merged or published). It was proposed that going forward the notes+announcement would come out before the repos would be updated. Thanks everyone! Dan
