17:19 <blackboxsw> community notice: hi folks. We are resuming our much anticipated office hours. Every two weeks at this time. The IRC topic will host our upcoming expected office-hours meeting time.
17:19 <blackboxsw> \o Odd_Bloke thx

17:20 <blackboxsw> This meeting will provide an opportunity with multiple upstream cloud-init devs available to discuss bugs, features, ongoing development or answer your existential questions :)
17:20 <blackboxsw> We hope to continue this meeting with regular cadence (and calendar reminders) to make sure we hold this time and frequency.
17:22 <blackboxsw> I'll send an email to the mailing list (again) announcing this cadence. Again this time if for any discussions, questions or dev/feature topics that folks would like to gab about.
17:23 <blackboxsw> We just published a high-level update of what's been happening in the cloud-init space, https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/cloud-init-status-02-23-2021/21069.
17:25 <blackboxsw> As seen on the mailinglist, Odd_Bloke and falcojr have been trying to tidy up things for the upstream 21.1 timed release. Thanks both of you for driving this work. I believe 21.1 landed, was uploaded to Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute).
17:26 <blackboxsw> We are also planning on SRUing(StableReleaseUpdate - Ubuntu-speak for uploading) 21.1 plus a feature fix for OVS support into Xenial, Bionic, Focal and Groovy within the next week or two.
17:26 <Odd_Bloke> Yep, I'm currently working through the release announcement process.
17:30 <blackboxsw> great Dan. So, TLDR is watch the mailinglist cloud-init@lists.launchpad.net and discourse https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/server/cloud-init for announcements and updates

17:58 <blackboxsw> I think we've about rounded out the office-hours. (I spent that time walking through a sopel-irc bot setup to test out some of the features to see if we can't add some structure to this office-hours engagement (and frankly release announcements too )
17:59 <blackboxsw> Let's set that next office hours for +2 weeks-45 mins from now
18:00 <blackboxsw> hopefully by then we have an automated announcer kicking off the notification.
18:00 <blackboxsw> Thanks all!
