I don't see clalance. 19:05:29 http://aeolusproject.org/page/Packages_Missing_From_Fedora 19:05:39 * clalance here (late) 19:05:55 Just in time! :) 19:05:57 clalance: right on time :) 19:06:51 any new cool stuff in Aeolus? 19:07:26 We are in the middle of integrating the new imagefactory into aeolus. 19:07:45 mmorsi: Do you have more detailed status about the conductor? 19:07:56 hrm not too much this week, alot of bug fixing 19:08:07 one nice thing we added is alot more seed data to our installation / configuration script 19:08:17 more to be added as we go along 19:08:43 * sloranz here (lurking) 19:08:44 so that launching instances on any cloud provider via aeolus will be as simple as possible (ideally one or two clicks after installation) 19:09:00 but thats about it on my end, just alot of bugfixing going on 19:09:04 sounds great 19:09:12 Neato 19:09:46 Anyone else have more Aeolus-related info? 19:09:56 (or questions) 19:10:27 #topic CloudFS 19:10:49 * gholms|work looks around for cloudfs people 19:11:18 * ksk2 is here, but where's jdarcy? 19:11:37 Beats me; I pinged him. 19:11:42 Maybe he will show up later. 19:11:58 gholms|work: Yeah, he is getting on. 19:12:19 Hey all. 19:13:00 What's new? 19:14:07 Well, I spent most of the week in meetings where GlusterFS/CloudFS were discussed, but I can't say much more about that. 19:14:27 I was late to the meeting because I was showing Ben (new perf guy) how to set up a GlusterFS filesystem. 19:14:45 He'll be helping to test performance of many permutations of GlusterFS/CloudFS. 19:15:29 Not much else to report, unless Kaleb wants to add something. 19:15:42 not much, was in the same meetings with Jeff 19:16:03 I got my dev workstation, and am setting up lots of kvm guests to do dev with 19:16:04 I think what I can say about those meetings is that awareness of GlusterFS/CloudFS has been significantly heightened within RH, and people are thinking seriously about how to use them. 19:16:52 Oh, and 3.1.3 came out, so we're in for another round of packaging fun. 19:17:45 #info GlusterFS 3.1.3 released 19:17:53 * gholms|work hopes he got that right 19:17:58 * jdarcy nods. 19:18:11 Anything else? 19:18:33 jdarcy - did you see themayor loking for you yesterday in #fedora-cloud? 19:18:39 looking 19:18:50 he had some q's about glusterfs - i figured i'd point him your way 19:18:59 Yep. Chatting with him in another session right now. 19:19:02 ah cool 19:19:09 * rbergeron arrives fashionably late, sorry 19:19:24 * gholms|work hands rbergeron a cup of lukewarm coffee 19:19:38 thanks! 19:19:47 mgoldmann: Shall we do a BG topic next? 19:19:58 gholms|work: sure, a quick update 19:20:04 #topic BoxGrinder 19:20:25 I filled a ticket with rel-eng, but I'm not sure how important it is for F15: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4523 19:20:33 it's in the queue since 2 weeks now 19:21:02 Maybe try pinging a rel-eng person on IRC? 19:21:13 maybe dgilmore 19:21:18 ok, will do 19:21:27 other than this - after https://issues.jboss.org/browse/BGBUILD-156 gets fixed (monday) I plan to release 0.9.1 on tuesday or so 19:21:45 mostly a bugfix release: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/BGBUILD/fixforversion/12316138 19:21:53 #info BoxGrinder 0.9.1 bugfix release coming soon 19:22:22 I was pulled to do some different stuff, but I hope to say soon more 19:22:37 (not very cloud related, but fedora definitely :)) 19:22:44 ohh interesting 19:23:04 we look forward to hearing :) 19:23:17 sure :) 19:23:24 that's all from my side 19:23:41 #topic Open floor 19:23:55 Any cloudy questions? Comments? Tomatoes? 19:24:10 * dcr226 does 19:24:30 Do for it 19:24:33 *Go for it 19:24:33 added this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG/Meetings 19:24:34 I'm sure you guys have discussed it, but you are very close to a "free fedora" with EC2's free tiny instances 19:24:50 all that is needed is an EBS backed instance 19:25:35 I wondered if there was any intention at all for creating a suitable image, and indeed if any help was needed in doing so 19:26:04 jforbes: What's the likelihood of our seeing EBS images? 19:26:31 jforbes: It sounds like dcr226 might be willing to help. :) 19:26:57 gholms|work: likelyhood is good since we have the script for conversion 19:27:47 dcr226: Does that help at all? 19:27:49 thats cool, I personally use a tiny instance, sadly it has to be C5.5 19:28:06 and I was going to build a f14 EBS to use, but pointless if you guys are already on it :-) 19:28:08 dcr226: F15 should have EBS images at release. We have the script 19:28:25 jforbes, cool. I'm happy to test that script if you want 19:28:32 #info Fedora 15 should have EBS images on EC2 19:29:02 eh, that script has to tie in account info and a bunch of other bits, it isn't really a distributable item 19:29:12 * dcr226 thinks "Free Fedora" would be cool 19:29:25 jforbes, ok - well, just ping if you want any help/EC2 testing 19:29:28 "Freedora" 19:29:32 jforbes: Did you learn anything account-related from spevack? 19:29:35 dcr226: we will 19:29:45 gholms|work: that was the email I hadnt sent out and just did 19:29:49 jdarcy, ship it! :-) 19:29:50 Awesome 19:30:15 #help Update wiki plzkthx: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG 19:30:37 gholms|work: I started this jsut before meeting 19:31:04 A whole lot of the wiki is marked "Space for rent" or full of cobwebs. Filling it out or updating it would be most appreciated. 19:31:13 Thanks, mgoldmann 19:31:17 I created https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG/Meetings 19:31:39 is there any chance of seeing another AMI for F14, with bigger root? Or at least some instructions on how to build one? :) 19:32:37 that's my #1 problem right now, I'm willing to do the legwork if I can get some pointers on how to do it 19:34:17 [A dog barks in the distance] 19:34:35 obino: Ever resized an emi's root filesystem before? 19:34:56 on a running instance? 19:34:56 wasn't there a working ami-build script floating around the ml? 19:35:18 obino: Presumably by re-bundling. I don't think you can resize a running instance's. 19:35:31 exactly :) 19:35:37 I do resize images offline 19:35:43 that's easy 19:37:33 obino: Any pointers/howtos/etc? 19:38:23 http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/resizing-images 19:38:34 http://open.eucalyptus.com/participate/wiki/changing-size-images 19:39:24 Just keep in mind that EC2 limits root filesystems' sizes to about 10G. 19:40:07 There was a rumor that they lifted that restriction. 19:40:10 I have no idea if it is true. 19:40:58 Oh, that reminds me! I pushed a new euca2ools package to epel-testing for el5 that fixes the last known bug. So if you have been wanting to use it, that's where you can find it. 19:41:17 #info euca2ools package for el5 pushed to epel-testing; no known bugs 19:41:24 10G is good enough for me, it's just 2G is completely inadequate :) 19:41:36 Installing a lot of packages, eh? ;) 19:41:53 yes, scientific software is large 19:42:02 * gholms|work hopes it isn't root 19:42:07 Root is huuuuge 19:42:20 homegrown stuff :) 19:43:00 Anything else for open floor? 19:43:06 * gholms|work looks at rbergeron 19:44:42 All right. Thanks for coming, everyone! 19:44:46 #endmeeting
