== Agenda for next meeting ==

* Announcements

* Priority Efforts (Standing meeting agenda items. Please expand if you have subtopics.)
** [http://specs.openstack.org/openstack-infra/infra-specs/specs/update-config-management.html Update Config Management]
*** topic:update-cfg-mgmt
*** Zuul as CD engine
** OpenDev
*** Service Coordinator position nominations
**** http://lists.opendev.org/pipermail/service-discuss/2021-January/000161.html less than a week remaining.
*** Gerrit account and group inconsistencies
**** ~1 group has a subgroup membership loop.
**** We have ~109 accounts with preferred email addresses that don't have a matching external id
***** Some of these are inactive accounts that we can more properly retire, others are accounts that can be set to inactive due to lack of external ids, some have email addresses we might convert to preferred email address, and others will need proper digging.
**** We have ~642 accounts with conflicting emails in their external ids. This needs more investigating to better understand the fix for.
**** Need to correct the ~642 external id issues before we can push updates to refs/meta/external-ids with Gerrit online.
**** Workaround is we can stop gerrit, push to external ids directly, reindex accounts (and groups?), start gerrit, then clear accounts caches (and groups caches?)
*** WIP changes (ianw 20210105)
**** Zuul should now support these properly. We need to retest.
*** Gerrit 3.3.1 includes the fix for Zuul and Zuul has the fixes too.
*** Configuration tuning
**** Using strong refs for jgit caches
**** Batch user groups and threads
