Sorry but this is an argument to use Heat more, but rebuild is totally
unnecessary.

In heat if you change the keypair and update the stack, it will create a new
one with the right keypair and delete the old instance (or you can make it use
rebuild, a feature I believe I developed actually). The updated IPs will be
rolled out to all resources that reference that instance's IP. If you have wait
conditions which depend on this instance, Heat will wait until they are
re-triggered before deleting the old instance. This is literally why Heat is a
cool thing, because it lets you use the cloud the way the cloud was intended to
be used.

If you use rebuild, while it is rebuilding, your service is unavailable. If you
use create/wait/delete you have a chance to automate the transition from the
old to new instance.

Working groups are still a thing, but they are tied to a specific
governance body (TC, UC, Board of Directors). SIGs are cross-community
working groups, beyond a single governance body. Project teams are a
form of TC-owned working group dedicated to the production of OpenStack
software.

With security having so much operational ties, it feels like a SIG would
be the best match as it prevents artificial governance boundaries from
getting in the way of getting people more directly involved.

TC Election Results (continued)
===
Congrats to our 6 newly elected Technical Committee members:
Colleen Murphy (cmurphy)
Doug Hellmann (dhellmann)
Emilien Macchi (emilienm)
Jeremy Stanley (fungi)
Julia Kreger (TheJulia)
Paul Belanger (pabelanger)

Full results are available [0]. The process and results are also available [1].
420 voted out of 2430 electorate, giving us a 17.28% turn out with a delta of
29.16% [2].

Reasons for the low turnout is hard to tell without knowing who is voting and
what their activity is in the community. More people are beginning to
understand the point of the TC activities, being more around duties than rights
(e.g. stewardship and leadership). People could care a bit less about specific
individuals and are less motivated by the vote itself. If the activity of the
TC was a lot more conflict and a lot less consensus, people might care about it
more.

Security SIG

Our governance used to only have project teams to recognize activity in
OpenStack, so we created a security team. Introduction of sigs provide a new
construct for recognizing activity around a group that share interest around
a topic or practice that are not mainly around software bits.

Security is a great example of a topic that could benefit from this construct
to gather all security-conscious people in our community. SIGs can have
software by-products and own git repositories, and the software is more about
security in general than a piece of OpenStack itself.

It's important to consider the Vulnerability Management Team (VMT) under the
new model, which acts as an independent task force.

The Security team discussed the idea of a SIG in their meeting, and overall
think it's worth exploring by having the SIG and team exist in parallel to see
if there is traction.
