[PTG] [Diversity] Extra session for Divisive Language discussions
by Amy Marrich 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

During the Monday session there were some questions in regards to technical writing and how things should be worded. I have invited Joanne O'Flynn, a Technical Writer from Red Hat to join us on Thursday at 17:00 UTC to help address these questions. This is not a normal PTG time slot but it was the only option due to time zones and already booked sessions for some of the participants from Monday. Thanks, Amy Marrich (spotz)

Introducing the Open Infrastructure Foundation
by Sunny Cai 20 Oct '20

20 Oct '20

Hi Kata citizens, If you didn’t watch the Open Infrastructure Summit keynotes today, you just missed some big news (you can find the Summit keynote video here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNNOFfDBB0o>!). Jonathan Bryce just announced the Open Infrastructure Foundation (OIF) <http://openinfra.dev/> as the successor to the OpenStack Foundation (OSF). The name change reflects all of our community’s work building open infrastructure with dozens of open source components, and we could not have done it without your help. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with you over the next decade to build open source communities that write software for production. Don’t forget to watch presenters from the Kata community <https://summit.openinfra.dev/a/schedule> who will give an update on what the community is doing and support them in the chat as they encourage Summit attendees to participate. And if you haven’t already, join as an individual member so you can get involved! http://openinfra.dev/join <http://openinfra.dev/join> Let’s get started! Thanks, Sunny Cai OpenStack Foundation sunny(a)openstack.org

Divisive Language stance final(?) draft and Forum session
by Amy Marrich 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Hi everyone, Below is what we hope is the final draft of the OSF's stance on Divisive Language. If you have any comments please place them on the etherpad[0] and/or join us this Tuesday during the forum[1]. Please note that decisions related to what words should be replaced with are being left with the project's technical leadership with the knowledge that context is important to determine the best alternative. That said, the Diversity and Inclusion WG will be available to assist these groups. Thanks, Amy Marrich (spotz) 0 - https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/divisivelanguage 1- https://www.openstack.org/summit/2020/summit-schedule/events/24778/divisive… 1a - https://zoom.us/j/94295083896?pwd=VmZCTFN3eERDK1ltRHRyWDl0eG1hZz09 1b - https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/vSummit2020__DivisiveLanguage ------------------ The OpenStack Foundation (OSF) Board of Directors supports removal of wording identified as oppressive, racist and sexist by members of our communities from the software and documentation they produce. While we know there will be challenges, both technical and non-technical, this is an action we feel is important. These efforts are the responsibility of the various technical leadership groups within our communities, and we trust them to make appropriate decisions about applicability, timelines, minimizing impact to users and operators, and choosing the changes that make the most sense for their projects. Contributors will take care to make changes to software in the least disruptive way possible. While standardized wording is a laudable goal, we recognize that different implementation contexts might require different solutions. In many cases the work is also complicated by external dependencies for these projects, and their capacity to make necessary changes before we can implement ours. Terminology to which special attention should be paid includes: 1. The use of "slave," or "master" in reference to slavery-oriented relationships, as is currently found in databases, the domain name system, etc. 1. The terms "blacklist" and "whitelist" in various contexts (which might require a variety of different replacements to make sense for those contexts) 1. The use of "master" in non-slavery-related contexts such as revision control branches and documentation builds (pending feedback from our community members) We shall continue to be vigilant for other language areas that cause challenges and work with the community to evolve this policy.

Kata 2.0 and stable branches
by Hunt, James O 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hi All, # TL;DR Is this reasonable: https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/blob/2.0-dev/docs/Upgrad… ? Comment here or on [6]. # Introduction For Kata 1.x, we maintain two stable branches [1]. We will soon be releasing Kata 2.0 [2], and at some point we will create a stable 2.x release. # Questions This raises a couple of questions: - How long will the 1.x stable branches be maintained? - When will the 2.0 repo [3] make a stable 2.x release? # Impact The answers to these questions will impact: - The Kata project since each branch has an associated maintenance cost. - Kata 1.x -> 2.x migration planning for users. - The backporting process [4] for developers (since when we have a 2.x stable branch, bug fixes may need to be backported to 2.x *and* 1.x stable branches). # Documented statement I recently updated the upgrading guide for the upcoming Kata 2.0 release [5]. I put in some words in the "Maintenance warning" section which are pasted verbatim below: > Kata Containers 2.x is the new focus for the Kata Containers development community. > > Although Kata Containers 1.x releases will continue to be published for a period of time, once a stable release for Kata Containers 2.x is published, Kata Containers 1.x stable users should consider switching to the Kata 2.x release. ## RFC Are we happy with this wording? Please comment here or on [6], particularly if you are an Architecture Committee member. # Can we / should we go further? Knowing how cautious some users can be, I wonder if we can commit to maintaining the 1.x branches until a *second* 2.x stable release is created. However, if that were to happen, imho the project would require a firm commitment from the community to support this (backporting activities, PR reviews, etc), due to the extra costs involved.

Future planning: How to handle the deprecation and eventual EOL of Kata 1.x ?
by Hunt, James O 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hi All, First - don't panic! This isn't happening yet! ;) However, as we are on the cusp of a 2.0 release, I think it makes sense to start _thinking_ about the future when we will, at some point, stop maintaining the Kata 1.x branches. As such, please comment on the issue below so we can start "shaking out the issues" earlier rather than later: https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/966 Cheers, James --- https://katacontainers.io/ | https://github.com/kata-containers Open Source Technology Center Intel Corporation (UK) Ltd. - Co.

09 Oct '20

Hello Kata folks, We are planning to have a Kata release next week of our 1.x branch - pre-release 1.12-rc0 and stable releases 1.10.8, 1.11.4. If you have made a commit to master or 2.0-dev since the last release that is a bug or security fix and that should go to 1.x stable branches, please open a PR to backport commits to stable branches in 1.x. Any help identifying changes that need to be backported would also be appreciated. Thanks. Salvador Fuentes.

Dax enablement in 2.0
by Snir 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hi all, One of the features currently available in 2.0.0 is dax support, in an internal discussion virtiofs Dax stability was mentioned as not mature enough yet. For example, some of the weakspots that were mentioned are: * Guest can crash when accessing a DAX page of a truncated file * The stability of the QEMU interface for the mapping is still not there IIUC it's currently enabled by default (qemu), can it be disabled? if not, is it planned to be configurable? Are there currently any upstream issues that can be linked to Dax's instability? Any other insights / thoughts would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Pending PRs for kata release 2.0
by Ariel Adam 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Hi everyone. Following our PR cleanup meeting today we have identified the following 4 PRs in the kata-containers repository as requiring a review and gating for the kata 2.0 release (we've labeled them with "release-gating"): https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aope… Also, we have refined the original list of open PRs James sent to olny PRs that require a review (54 PRs): https://github.com/pulls?page=1&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+org%3Akata-containers+-… We'd appreciate it if you could look into these PRs (especially if they're yours :-)) and label them with "release-gating" if you believe they are a MUST for the upcoming 2.0 release. That can help us be more efficient in understanding what needs to be completed in the upcoming 2 weeks. Thanks.
