Meeting Notes

Thanks to @nmaludy

• @armab to cleanup formatting, approve, and merge: Remove nmaludy from Senior Maintainers st2#5588

v3.8 release discussions

Postponed till next time

Meeting Rotation

• Running meetings is a "Free-for-all"
• During each meeting, we need to assign the meeting host for the next meeting (giving preference to TSC members who haven't lead meetings before)
• @cognifloyd will lead the meeting in September

pants migration status update

• more reviews needed
• next step is adjusting all the fixtures to let pants infer dependencies on fixtures

Cost Reduction

• we are making progress
• stackstorm.com now hosted from raw html in: https://github.com/StackStorm/stackstorm.com
• @dalesmith is experimenting to see how to improve the contributor workflow
• the wordpress leftovers in the html make editing it very painful.
• content should be separate from the theme.
• @cognifloyd noted that openapi.yaml (source for api.stackstorm.com) is very out-of-date

Python support

• The only known blocker for Python 3.9 needs one more review: Move to ciso8601 for datetime st2#5692

Misc RFCs to discuss and vote on

• no objections, so @cognifloyd will close old meeting notes: RFC: Let's close all the TSC Meeting agendas/notes (eventually) #106
• using discussions is a possibility, but very few people are involved in the current discussions: https://github.com/StackStorm/st2/discussions
• no changes for changelog guidelines yet: Changelog guidelines? #82
  • @armab suggested that CI could post a link to external changelog guidelines as mentioned in Changelog guidelines? #82 (comment)
  • @amanda11 suggested that adding the PR number is rather annoying because it's hard to know the PR number before creating the PR
  • @cognifloyd would like to see the changelog auto-generated

any other PRs that need attention

• https://github.com/StackStorm/st2web/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+-label%3Adependencies+
  • several PRs need to have master merged in now that CI is fixed for st2web
• https://github.com/StackStorm/stackstorm-k8s/pulls
  • @cognifloyd asked if anyone else on the TSC is working with Kubernetes.
    • @rush-skills has mostly used puppet. Might look into using a chart later.
    • @armab will review current PRs probably this weekend
    • @armab suggested @cognifloyd, @amanda11 can use StackStorm accounts on twitter and LinkedIn to try and increase involvement / ask for help on some things (great beginner issue, etc)
