The PPB voted on that, mostly based on the feedback from the projects that already migrated to it. Apparently the benefits of Gerrit (and the 3-month-long process that led the team working on that to prefer that solution) were not communicated enough outside of the circles that followed the issue closely. > And I want to be clear that I'm not meaning to put down anyone's efforts > here.

Yes, rather than focusing on the communication issues or the bad timing of the complaint, I hope we can concentrate on (1) getting a picture of all the benefits of using Gerrit for code review (and running our own code for that), and (2) having a list of the issues with Gerrit that Monty and Jim can try to mitigate. So far, the main complaint I hear is that it's different: different from a pure GitHub workflow, and different from what Nova devs are used to currently (LP). Familiarity is a very valid concern -- but my understanding is that it's outweighed by (1). So if we can explain (1) and mitigate (2), we may go somewhere. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
