I encourage folks to consider this a release candidate for Zuul v5. At
this point the multi-scheduler functionality is complete but has seen
limited production use. Please try it out and look for problems. If
you do find problems, run "zuul delete-state" and roll back to 4.10.4.
Additionally, between now and the v5 release, we will be removing the
long-deprecated gearman RPC system, which means that if you use "zuul
enqueue" and similar commands, you should switch to using zuul-client
with a self-generated authentication token. This and all recent version
4.x releases support both, which makes this an excellent time to switch.

Hi everyone,
The Diversity and Inclusion WG is holding a poll to see if there would be
interest in attending if it were on another day and time as well as if IRC
vs Video would be preferred. We currently meet the first Monday of the
month at 17:00 UTC. And hope to have a planning meeting as our first
meeting of the year.
Our first meeting of the new year is slated for January 3rd at 17:00 UTC
and for IRC. We will take the poll results into consideration and may
cancel the January meeting to allow folks to plan on attending in which
case February's meeting would be the first of the year.
Please vote for your preferred days and times AND also for IRC and/or Video.

We are keeping to morning hours to encourage participation from EMEA but
not overly early for PST folks to attend. We will keep the poll up through
the end of the year.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns and remember
the Diversity and Inclusion WG is for ALL projects under the Open Infra
Foundation!
Thanks,
Amy (spotz)
