The CLT meeting had a few important topics of focus this week, with discussions regarding a PR checklist resulting in a lot of valuable feedback.
See: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/.github/pull_request_template.md for an example.
The motivation behind this proposal was higher release quality, as that has been noted as an area users find of critical importance. It was agreed that requiring this checklist would require minimal effort from contributors, but result in potential significant benefit. PRs with potential for interactions with various components of Ceph, regressions, and negative performance impact would be more readily identified (through direct association by checking the relevant boxes re: affected components, but also through ensuring better test coverage and reasoned documentation for the change).
Further discussion will follow to ensure the checklist is of high quality and covers all necessary areas, while adding minimum burden to creation of PRs, so as to not reduce the velocity of contribution to the project.
Updates were given on the status of the Pacific 16.2.8 release preparation, which is underway now. A release candidate will be prepared and published in order to allow for user testing/feedback prior to the 16.2.8 release being published.
The Quincy release was discussed, and no major Quincy issues have been noted thus far.
