That makes sense, my only concern with it is, how much support from QA/Infra would actually be needed *before* incubation can even be requested. One of the ideas behind the incubation status is to allow incubated projects to tap into common resources (QA, infra, release management...) as they cover the necessary ground before being fully integrated. Your proposal sounds like they would also need some support even before being incubated. Also does it place a requirement that all projects wanting to request incubation to be placed in stackforge ? That sounds like a harsh requirement if we were to reject them. (sidenote: I'm planning to suggest we create an "emerging technology" label for projects that are (1) in stackforge, (2) applied for incubation but got rejected purely for community maturity reasons. Projects under this label would potentially get some limited space at summits to gain more visibility. Designate belongs to that category, but without a clear label it seems to fall in the vast bucket of openstack-related projects and not gaining more traction. Not sure we can leverage it to solve the issue here though). > Proposed Graduation requirements ================================ > All integrated projects should be in the integrated gate, as this > is the only way we provably know that they can all work together, > at the same level of requirements, in a consistent way. > > During incubation landing appropriate tests in Tempest is fair > game.

I agree with you, but I don't see how we can enforce this one. Like you say, integrated projects get commonly released and get a stable branch in all cases. We can strongly encourage them to get their grenade act together before the final release, but there is nothing we can do (short of kicking them out of the integrated release altogether) to ensure it happens. > [...] Raised Questions ================ - what about existing > incubated projects, what would be their time frame to get with this > new program - what about existing integrated projects that > currently don't exist with either an upgrade or gate story? - what > about an upgrade deprecation path (i.e. nova-network => neutron, > nova-baremetal => ironic) The transition for existing incubated/integrated projects is an interesting question. I think it's fine to require that currently-incubated projects get into the integrated gate before they can graduate. For currently-integrated projects that are not up to snuff, I think we should strongly suggest that they fix it before the icehouse release, otherwise the next TC might be driven to make unpleasant decisions. - -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSg3VDAAoJEFB6+JAlsQQjuRQP/1kuDunU9mcwbAcqYbcnqG2A hBmiUxWHqe43/piN5iPwWu8/eLhl6AzQaQhRQVU/+Vv4E2yx+1rhhrTd2KmPXjmK kgJlI1rlGNVR18TQazjGq5KPR9LQ12hpLqouqDMGs7U1JRNFF6NdUVO1xY46Mvli z+vDH81lWdemIE/lAvF+IgPuHE6baPMbRl9OKHJbiF/2LE5aGgf1PuERHphOqYz9 r/AMj4X9Kv3LAaCs4Gj6TFdY/Aqg8lsy64T/Ivme/xPkTN06gUG10ZaJaTE87jST WduVks5auzgSUOVPjVlMuW3vCm6i/lopoX8fThgiNZ0pp3sqZJgtMMYF73ab3FYI YU3VrrOjHpABU0rhInswSgPgkcBrTmVMH8ZQGGGVYiCpkDJwTirEf7U5/kDeKTXf K7MttUXl7fItWsRLgqV/7eDHApSmTWAuGiQQ2PuGRKZ8Zmvro/6CkPLwltB4rQ7S GjkHg6xvKjPp5wCF42mxkvyv4QJ/mxLmVjqHYXErk/WUVTlzyrGS49471ymk/zvJ TnRphEqFsTSggdQxXK1mQzwfSf4tIztZIgA1oV0eqOzPcjKJcFfd/NPnKnDzV0dp 8453mw+HsCa22lVWIvU+FhsLl+eC3quZLTmaKsdIINYRtOLcbSCm5s5Yfabjqxcx G/LwvW/BarVwxxrJoOFn =6/rB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
