From a3bb2f085368e7b2287f48215982c123a94bf490 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Stanley Date: Thu, 7 May 2020 18:42:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add page for TaCT SIG The TaCT SIG is lightweight, and doesn't have any official publications where it makes sense to point the SIG URL. Instead, just add a page for it to this repository and link that.

Many of these activities are +closely related to work the Quality Assurance team is doing, so +folks who are active in QA participate in this SIG as well. + +History +------- + +The OpenStack Infrastructure team, and the CI team before it, +traditionally existed to care for the continuous integration and +collaboration infrastructure on which the OpenStack community +relies. With the rise of the `OpenDev Collaboratory +`_ as a distinct effort outside of (but still +primarily in service of) OpenStack, the majority of the team's +former systems administration activities were no longer occurring +under the authority of OpenStack. Most of the software and +configuration management repositories previously in the care of the +Infra team were also no longer official OpenStack deliverables, as +they became part of OpenDev as well (and their biggest development +effort, `Zuul+Nodepool `_, was already spun +out as an independent Open Infrastructure Project even earlier +still). + +With these responsibilities moved elsewhere, the existence of a +formal team was less of a necessity. What remained was a need to +support OpenStack's project-specific testing and collaboration +tooling and services, primarily job configuration and other things +which shouldn't currently be generalized into components of the +OpenDev Collaboratory. To this end, a Testing and Collaboration +Tools (TaCT) SIG was created to serve the role previously occupied +by the OpenStack Infrastructure team. + +Naming +------ + +The choice to rename was, in large part, because the term +"infrastructure" perpetually confused newcomers to the community, +and the SIG's formation was an opportunity to use something less +overloaded. diff --git a/sigs.yaml b/sigs.yaml index 3385742..c2de4f1 100644 --- a/sigs.yaml +++ b/sigs.yaml @@ -345,5 +345,5 @@ Testing and Collaboration Tools: The Testing and Collaboration Tools (TaCT) SIG maintains, in cooperation with the OpenDev project, the tooling and infrastructure needed to support the development process and testing of the OpenStack project. - url: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation + url: tact-sig.html status: active
