16:20 <blackboxsw> #topic Previous Actions

16:20 <blackboxsw> Looks like no unresolved actions from last meeting

16:20 <blackboxsw> #topic Recent Changes

16:22 <blackboxsw> Below is a list of commits that have landed in tip of master: found via git log --since 2020-03-10

16:22 <blackboxsw> #link https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YMb2Tw3tRD/

16:23 <blackboxsw> We've had a number of milestones since the last status meeting, Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04 was released on Apr 23, cloud-init upstream cut a release 20.2 as well

16:23 <blackboxsw> Additionally we have two new hires to the canonical ubuntu-server team that will be participating in cloud-init, curtin and ubuntu-advantage-tools projects

16:24 <blackboxsw> We are really excited to have some extra hands on cloud-init from lucasmoura and falcojr. So welcome gentlemen, glad to have the help.

16:25 <blackboxsw> They just started yesterday and are going through a bit of onboarding this week, but expect to see them around in cloud-init shortly. I believe they have both landed their first PRs to get added as a contributor to cloud-init.

16:26 <blackboxsw> #topic In-progress Development

16:26 <blackboxsw> #link https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pulls

16:27 <blackboxsw> ok active review queue is really getting well maintained now that we've adopted PR assignment. Thanks for helping is land branches quickly folks.

16:28 <blackboxsw> Generally upstream has set a couple of long-term goals for cloud-init in the next development cycle

16:28 <blackboxsw> - wrap up cloud-init daemon mode (to reduce boot time by loading python only once)

16:28 <blackboxsw> - OpenStack network hotplug handling from cloud-init

16:29 <blackboxsw> - Potentially a new LXD datasource for handling container deployments

16:29 <blackboxsw> - better json schema coverage for the remaining oncovered cloud config modules.

16:30 <blackboxsw> #topic Community Charter

16:31 <blackboxsw> We continue to categorize more bitesize bugs in cloud-init.

16:31 <blackboxsw> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize

16:32 <blackboxsw> These bugs are themed at doc updates and json schema improvements across all of cloud-init, but we continue to seed that bug tag with items which should be easy to drop in and make a lasting impact on cloud-init

16:33 <blackboxsw> All cloud-init contributors are encouraged to participate in any part of the cloud-init lifecycle, from bug filing, to fixing, to release testing and PR reviews. Thanks to everyone who continues to build the cloud-init community!

16:33 <blackboxsw> #topic Office hours (next ~30 mins)

16:35 <blackboxsw> During this stage we have a some focus time on cloud-init development and community support. Any questions, concerns, reviews or request for help/triage are most welcome. We should have a couple of upstream developers with eyes on this channel.

16:36 <blackboxsw> In the absence of discussion, we'll groom the active PR review queue and/or work additional cloud-init dev items.

16:38 <blackboxsw> community-notice: Ubuntu plans to release cloud-init version 20.2 to Ubuntu's new development release 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla). We expect to start an Ubuntu StableReleaseUpdate into xenial, bionic, eoan and focal within the next 2 weeks.

17:33 <blackboxsw> alrighty, think that about wraps today's status meeting. Happy Cinco De Mayo folks

17:34 <blackboxsw> #endmeeting
