At the Dublin PTG the manila team did a retrospective on the Queens release -- raw etherpad here [1].
We summarize it here to separate it from the otherwise
forward-looking manila PTG summary (coming soon).
# Keep Doing #
- queens bug smashes, especially the Wuhan bug smash [2]
+ (mostly new) contributors from 5+ companies including
99cloud, fibrehome, chinamobile, H3c, easystack, Huawei
- bug czar role & meeting slot [3]
- trying to tag even earlier than deadlines
# Do less of / Stop Doing #
- blind rechecks
+ reviewers need to pay attention to recheck history and
push back on merges that ignore intermittent issues
+ even if the issue is unrelated to the patch we should have
an associated bug
- letting reviews languish, especially for contributors outside
US timezones
+ need more systematic approach (see suggestions below) to
review backlog
# Do More Of #
- Root cause analysis and fixing of failing tests in gate
- Groom bug lists, especially before bug smashes
- Make contributor's guide with review checklists
- Use mail-list more for asynch communication across timezones
- Help people use IRC bouncers
- Keep etherpad/dashboards for pending reviews
- Improve docs for new driver contributors
# Action Items #
- Tom will develop etherpad for priority reviews
- Ben will share past review etherpads / gerrit dashboards
(Done: see raw etherpad [3] but Tom will work to get these
unified and findable)
- Ganso will create etherpad to collaborate on reviewer/contributor
checklists
- Tom will check how Cinder fixed log filtering problem
