Hi all, Here is a summary of the CSC meeting Jan 27, 2025. Full notes are available at https://pad.ceph.com/p/csc-weekly-minutes Component Leads Poll re: Workload and Bottlenecks Dan proposes an informal poll for component leads to identify workload distribution, bottlenecks, and areas where community contributions are most needed. Venky shares that the CephFS team uses GitHub's "Assigned" field to track PR reviews and suggests exploring good and bad aspects of roles to involve more community support. LRC On-Call Assistance DavidG seeks improved mechanisms to involve developers and leads during LRC outages. In a recent case, an outage was related (again) to iSCSI, which is missing a lead maintainer. It was agreed to have a follow up discussion on David's plans for modernizing the upstream infra in the next meeting. Tentacle Roadmap Tentacle development freeze and release candidate timelines are not finalized. Historically, dev freeze occurs by the end of January and RC by the end of March. Discussions are to continue at the next CSC meeting. BOTO3 Issue A BOTO3 change caused S3 client issues, with backports and fixes in progress. Relevant links and PRs for tracking the problem are shared. Strategy Working Group Yehuda proposes forming a strategy working group to address high-level Ceph planning over a 3–5 year horizon, as existing forums like CSC and Dev Summit are too technical for such discussions. Discussion to continue next meeting. Cephalocon 2024 Recordings Most recordings from Cephalocon 2024 are now available on YouTube. Announcements to the mailing list are planned.
