How & Where to Contribute Zuul Content
by Allison Price 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

Hi everyone, As more users start telling their stories about running Zuul in production and accompanied by the amount of events that have been transformed to virtual experiences, I wanted to reach out to the community to make sure everyone was aware of the community channels we have available to share case studies / tutorials / project news as well as increasing the visibility of software updates and release features. As of yesterday, we had an OpenStack user reach out about how to find bug fix updates online more easily, and I think that this could happen for Zuul very soon too. Since Zuul doesn’t have a blog, I would love to discuss where software updates and bug fixes could live beyond the mailing list so that it’s a bit more discoverable for newbies. One option would be putting a Blog section up on Zuul's website. Another could be choosing an open source blogging platform that we could link to (ideally under a Zuul subdomain). Thoughts? Another place the Zuul Community can contribute is Superuser <https://superuser.openstack.org/>. Here's what kind of content you can share and how to contribute: Superuser has evolved to cover the open infrastructure landscape covering different use cases and open source projects. Whether it’s a video or an article, this content is typically more in depth than what you would see on a project blog and includes things like hands on tutorials, case studies, thought leadership articles, Q&As with open source community leaders, and updates and highlights from open source events around the world. If you have an idea you would like to share, fill out this form <https://superuser.openstack.org/contribute/> and the editorial team will reach out. If you have questions about whether your topic is the right fit, email editor(a)openstack.org <mailto:editor@openstack.org>. You can also attend the OSF community meeting <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2020-March/002856.html>next week to learn more about how you can get involved and contribute! Thanks!

Farewell Zuulers
by David Shrewsbury 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

Hi fellow Zuulers, It turns out that burnout is a real thing, and all the nastiness that comes along with it. Having been in the OpenStack/Zuul world for 8 years (wow), I feel like it's time for me to move on to new things. Effective this week, I'm giving up my core status on all-the-things, but I absolutely know that I'm leaving it all in awesomely capable hands. I'll miss working with you all, and it has been my absolute pleasure to have worked with you. You've each made me better in some way, and I appreciate it. Happy Zuuling, Shrews

Fwd: [OpenStack Foundation] Update on OpenDev + PTG (Vancouver)
by Jimmy McArthur 19 Mar '20

19 Mar '20

Hi all - Please have a look at this from OSF re: upcoming events: > *From:* Mark Collier <mark(a)openstack.org> > *Date:* March 18, 2020 at 3:33 PM > *To:* foundation(a)lists.openstack.org > *Subject:* [OpenStack Foundation] Update on OpenDev + PTG (Vancouver) > Hi everyone, > > Based on the input from the community, board, and the latest information available from the health experts, we've made the decision not to hold the OpenDev + PTG in Vancouver this June. Instead, we're exploring ways to turn it into a virtual event and would love the help of everyone in the community. > > We will be reaching out to participants who have already registered to issue full refunds. > > We have always aimed to produce events "of the community, by the community," and this change for OpenDev + PTG is no exception. We would like to virtualize the PTG, since it is critical to producing the next release, targeting the same timeframe. We would like to recruit community volunteers to form a Virtual PTG Organization Team to collaborate with the OSF staff to incorporate best practices and ensure the event continues to meet the goals of the upstream community. We will need to begin pulling this plan together soon, so please add your name ot this etherpad if you are interested in helping: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Virtual_PTG_Planning. > > For OpenDev, discussions are also meant to be collaborative and free-flowing but are less time bound by the release schedule, so rather than trying to recreate that during a single virtual event at the same time as the virtual PTG, we are thinking about other ways to accomplish the same goals. We've already assembled an awesome team of Program Committee volunteers who have received proposals for moderated discussions, and we will be working with them on some ideas on the best way to move forward. > > For the time being, we are continuing with the plan for the Open Infrastructure Summit in Berlin October 19-23. For updates on OpenDev + PTG and the Summit, please continue to read and bookmark this status page which we will continue to update: https://www.openstack.org/events/covid-19-coronavirus-disease-updates > > Mark Collier > COO, OpenStack Foundation > > > _______________________________________________ > Foundation mailing list > Foundation(a)lists.openstack.org > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/foundation

review.opendev.org Downtime March 20, 2020 at 1400UTC
by Clark Boylan 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

The OpenDev team is planning to take a short downtime March 20, 2020 from 14:00UTC to 15:00UTC. This outage will enable us to rename a few projects and redeploy Gerrit using containers. The container based deployment is an important first step in our longer term plan for upgrading Gerrit to a modern version. We recognize that this will be a disruption during an already disrupted week for many. We feel this is worthwhile as it fits into project release schedules and sets us up well for the future. Thank you for your patience. Feel free to ask us any questions you may have on this thread or in #opendev on Freenode. Clark

[zuul-ci.org] SEO improvements
by Jimmy McArthur 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

Hi all - We've contracted a professional SEO firm to help improve search placement for all OSF projects. I'd like to crowd source this on each of the project mailing lists, so the community is able to be involved: “Wish List” of keywords: 8-12 big terms you think fit your domain (if you only have 4-5 to share, fewer is okay) - open source ci - ? At least 3 competitors - Jenkins - ? Any other input on positioning, offerings, etc. that you think will help best filter for relevance - ? Cheers, Jimmy

ensure-tox: install inside python3 by default
by Mohammed Naser 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

Hi everyone, The current behavior of the `ensure-tox` role is to install `tox` using Python 2. The following change will switch the default behavior to installing it via Python 3. The option of installing `tox` using Python 2 remains available. https://review.opendev.org/#/c/712804/ If you're using Python 2 for your jobs and you require that `tox` continues to be installed inside Python 2, please update your jobs to use the following in their vars: tox_prefer_python2: true This message serves as a heads-up for all Zuul operators that consume zuul/zuul-jobs, this change will be merging in 2 weeks, please feel free to bring up any concerns if we've missed anything. Thanks, Mohammed

[zuul-ci.org] Supporting Companies
by Jimmy McArthur 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

Hello All - One of the things the Foundation offers for our projects is the ability to show Supporting Companies on each of the project websites [1]. We also have a little blurb or button there for other companies that are looking to support the project in some way. This can be through infrastructure donation or helping to offset events costs, etc... We'd like to get such a page up on Zuul, but I want to check with the community first to see what thoughts are around the concept as well as placement on the site. Cheers, Jimmy [1] https://katacontainers.io/supporters/
