Office Hour meeting minutes​

Infrastructure​

  • Test Environments:
    • Currently a blocking issue is with SAP. They want to do a change in the DIF deployment and we are blocked by that. Target for the change is early next week. This involves both STABLE and INT environment.
    • It is important that we can start with the deployment for the e2e test of 24/12 on INT, there are school holidays in southern Germany between Oct., 28th and Nov., 1st, so deployment is constrained in time.
    • The INT environment has to be wiped to start from scratch with the deployment for 24/12.
    • Doubleslash will provide information on how to proceed next week.

Release Management​

  • EDC 0.8.0 to be used during e2e testing. There will be a RC5 early next week, that should be used as a start for e2e testing
  • Release check issues are due on Oct. 18th for release 24/12

FOSS​

  • Sources of pictures: Do we need to regulate the availability of sources for binary pictures, as there are pictures in the website repo without editable sources.
    • There is already a TRG that specifies the handling of pictures. It should be controlled better by committers.
  • Concerning intermediate releases, especially bugfix releases that need to be done in Tractus-X during a operating cycle. There is a task to make a proposal on how to handle the situation from Eclipse Tractus-X perspective.
  • Deprecation of Repos. The regulation in TRG 7.09 is currently reworked to be more precise.
  • Discussion on a TRG about testing.
    • Doubleslash prepares a TRG concerning automated testing
    • Some repositories use SonarCloud and code coverage measurements there
    • General openness towards a new trial on some specs concering testing

Community/Open Planning​

  • Files like presentations done during Open Planning are currently not provided in Open Source. The proposal is to store such files in the already existing large files repository attached to the webpage repo.
  • Open Meetings page has been enhanced, there are now relevant links like to the task board that is relevant and related release timelines
  • Regular New Joiner meeting was canceled. If a session is needed, it needs to be requested

Discussions​

  • Evelyn suggested a consistent storing for environment specific deployment configuration (helm values files) in TX repositories:
    • IF products teams store deployment configuration in TX, it should be stored in a separate directory at root level (/environments) and the notice file should explain it is need for the end-to-end testing of TX releases
    • no deployment configuration other than the one used for the official E2E Testing of TX releases should be kept in TX
    • suggestion is not intended to promote the storing of this configuration in TX but if you do it, do it as proper as possible
    • a benefit from (properly) storing the configuration in TX is the versioning with the TX GitHub releases, allowing to easily trace back the exact configuration used for testing
    • other options for handling environment specific deployment configuration outside of TX were discussed as well as the option of multiple sources for Argo CD was mentioned by Carsten
  • Stephan was wondering about how to handle outdated information on the TX Product Page:
    • product teams should check if the information on the page is still up to date, Stephan will write send a reminder on the TX mailing list
    • Arno mentioned that he would update the products which are still outdated in a couple of weeks, thanks for volunteering!
