Better than usual. 19:15:07 So, big news: we got permission to sign the Gluster CLA. 19:15:21 OMFG 19:15:27 * rbergeron gets out the balloons and party blowers 19:15:57 Yeah, after saying that the CLA was utterly unacceptable before, legal now says we can sign it without change. 19:16:06 #info Good news, everyone! HekaFS guys are now allowed to sign the gluster cla 19:16:09 lol 19:16:12 interesting 19:16:24 So mine's signed and accepted, I'm polishing the SSL patch for submission in another window right now. 19:16:45 well, that's very good. 19:16:46 Other than that, pretty much the usual testing and bug fixing. 19:17:05 not much from me this week. I was tinkering and testing. spun an updated hekafs rpm. that's about it. Still need to do my write-up on setting up a hekafs cluster 19:17:18 kkeithley_wfh: Maybe we should do a screencast. 19:17:26 YES 19:17:35 I need to sign the gluster cla at some point too. 19:17:49 sure 19:18:03 :D 19:18:14 my on-camera persona is so winning 19:18:19 lol 19:18:35 so can i ask dumb question of the century? 19:18:37 right up there with my karaoke 19:18:42 that's what i'm here for after all 19:19:31 just don't step on my "keen eye for the obvious" shoes 19:19:33 * jdarcy waits eagerly for the question, dumb or otherwise. 19:19:39 is expected behavior to eventually be like... i haz a cloud, and i can just mount hekafs as a filesystem? is that something we can document as a usage thing now, or start thinking about? 19:20:05 that's a big 10-4 good buddy 19:20:07 like... future fedora version 19:20:20 because it's nice to have all these cloudy things 19:20:29 but would be nice to think about how some of them work together in the futures 19:20:54 The ultimate coolness would be for there to be several public HekaFS providers, and you just tell the system which one to use. 19:22:18 mount -t hekafs fedora_one:jdarcy /mnt/whatever 19:22:29 can I add an item at end? 19:22:37 yes. 19:22:47 jdarcy: and in the interim until that day occurs? :) 19:23:13 rbergeron: Right now it's a bit more complicated, because there are no public servers and you'd need to set up your own. 19:24:06 okay. lol 19:24:09 i'll move on 19:24:16 :) 19:24:20 anything else from you guys? 19:24:35 rbergeron: But it's not much more than that. (1) "gluster peer probe" (2) hfs_add_volume (3) hfs_add_tenant, (4) hfs_enable_tenant, (5) hfs_start_volume, (6) hfs_mount. 19:24:38 #info kkeithley_wfh is working on a write up of setting up a hekafs cluster 19:24:38 That's it for me. 19:25:02 jdarcy: cool, thanks 19:25:12 s/working/still working/ 19:25:12 #topic OpenStack 19:25:21 kkeithley_wfh: close enough ;) 19:25:48 So - none of those folks appear to be here 19:25:49 but... 19:26:00 #info Packaging ongoing - lots of movement this week 19:26:14 rbergeron: markmc sent out a great status email again. 19:26:14 * rbergeron looks for last mail from markmc 19:26:18 he did, indeed. 19:26:38 #link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-September/000801.html 19:26:50 #info openstack-nova is now in F16 19:27:05 #info Planning on asking FESCo for feature exception for F16 19:27:44 #action rbergeron to file a ticket with FESCo for monday's meeting, which may not be happening now that she thinks about it due to labor day 19:28:06 #action rbergeron to do other feature wrangling things that need to happen since she's the feature wrangler 19:28:50 #info mdomsch has made good progress moving packages into epel, dwalsh did some policy work for glance, asalkeld ported nova and glance to systemd (thanks to all!) 19:28:54 I think that's about it 19:28:59 I know y'all can read, and stuff. :) 19:29:14 * rbergeron waits for comments before moving on 19:29:46 okay, moooooooving on 19:29:55 #topic Test Day 19:30:10 #link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-September/000797.html 19:30:17 #info markmc proposed a test day on-list 19:30:24 Is anyone else interested in participating? 19:30:37 Sure will 19:30:49 :) 19:31:12 let me rephrase that a bit: does anyone have a specific project/etc. they'd like to help get ready for a test day 19:31:30 mark would like to get openstack tested, etc. 19:31:31 * quaid teleports in & settles in the back corner 19:31:51 i'm not sure where the aeolus folks are, i talked to jlaska a bit about it and he wasn't quite sure on preparedness there. 19:32:07 same for hekafs - not sure how easily that oculd be tested. 19:32:17 and then we still can do EC2 testing. 19:32:30 hello quaid 19:32:42 * rbergeron listens to birds chirping 19:33:03 [You feel your magical energy drain away] 19:33:05 well, you covered EC2 :) 19:33:15 * spstarr waits 19:33:23 rbergeron: Sorry, looked away for a few minutes. 19:33:39 lol 19:33:46 rbergeron: I'll see if I can wrangle some interest in testing Aeolus out on that day. 19:33:54 clalance: thanks :) 19:33:54 And I would love to get Oz testing on there as well. 19:34:09 yeah, even basic testing (does it run!) would be helpful, i suspect. 19:34:10 Unfortunately I'm a bit slammed for the next week or so, but after that I hope to find some time to make test cases. 19:34:15 * rbergeron nods 19:34:22 we're looking at october 20, so we have a bit of time. 19:34:28 Cool. 19:34:33 #info Looking at October 20th for a test day. 19:34:53 #action clalance to look into Aeolus/Oz testing interest, test cases development interest 19:35:05 alright. I'll be continuing to flog this on the list 19:35:10 for feature owners not here, etc. 19:35:34 #topic Open Floor 19:35:40 spstarr: hi :) 19:35:48 OpenNebula 19:35:58 #topic OpenNebula 19:36:02 alright, let's discuss. 19:36:03 I have provided some initial packages for getting OpenNebula into Fedora 19:36:15 what steps are needed? there is tons of ruby packages, well all of it is ruby based. 19:36:37 well, that's sort of an open-ended question, I suppose. 19:36:46 all my packages are on http://www.sh0n.net/spstarr/fedora-work 19:36:48 Do you have a wiki page / checklist of to-do's, etc? 19:37:05 not yet, i still need lots of help with reviews of my SRPMs 19:37:17 I can't approve my own packages even if im provenpackager :) 19:37:35 okay. so - one of the things that is helpful is to actually have that "to-do" list include the packages and bz #'s, so people can find them easily. 19:37:44 Along with a "what is this software", so you can get a bit of interest :) 19:38:02 I have also spoken to the Ruby SIG folks, since they want to change to using newer RSpec guidelines 19:38:05 we've seen that work fairly well with a few other things around here - aeolus, openstack both had status lists with their outstanding packages, etc. 19:38:08 which may put a wrinkle into this 19:38:26 spstarr: in that you'll have to redo any existing package reviews? 19:38:27 I did post to the mailing list some bz#s :) 19:38:39 not redo-they haven't all been started yet 19:38:43 spstarr: yeah, having it be somepalce where it can be updated is a bit easier :) do you have a master bz? 19:39:03 no master bz, should I make one and then append the other packages to it as they go into bz? 19:39:33 I can create a wiki page and link it to the Fedora Cloud SIG page 19:39:36 A wiki page with links to those would help. 19:39:53 ok, will create that. OpenNebula 3.0 is scheduled to be released this or next week. 19:40:00 hope to get it into Fedora 17 19:40:04 spstarr: wiki page is most helpful; a master bz where all the packages are blockers against it can be helpful as well 19:40:16 I will get on that 19:40:32 #info OpenNebula 3.0 is scheduled to be released in the next few weeks, spstarr would like to get it in F17 19:40:32 * gholms keeps conflating all the *n*bula platforms out there; sorry 19:40:40 hehe 19:41:04 #action spstarr to make a wiki page with bz's linked in for status tracking, feel free to ping us for help / examples 19:41:19 they have an irc channel in #opennebula and I've been working with them to get some issues sorted, they've been happy to help. 19:41:25 so good relationship with upstream 19:41:37 cool :) 19:42:03 spstarr: anything else? 19:42:09 Would anyone else want to help out too? 19:42:54 Other then that, nothing further. 19:43:09 * rbergeron grins 19:43:29 #info If anyone wants to help, please feel free to volunteer :) 19:43:40 spstarr: once you get the wiki page set up, might be a good idea to send another mail to the list 19:43:48 certainly :) 19:43:49 as an update 19:43:53 coolio. thank you! 19:43:59 #topic Open Floor 19:44:03 Anyone else? 19:44:05 Anything else? 19:44:14 I don't think msavy or mgoldmann are here today 19:44:32 [A cat slowly rolls a watermelon up onto shore] 19:44:51 where do you come up with those? 19:44:59 Nerd magic. 19:45:05 That's pretty nerdy. 19:45:24 suehle would be impressed if she was here, except she's apparently on the same hotel floor with william shatner at dragoncon, somehow. 19:45:28 Which is super nerdy. 19:45:31 anyway, i digress 19:45:49 spstarr: Is there an up-to-date guide for ruby packaging? 19:46:11 gholms: There is one, but it is out-of-date. 19:46:12 gholms: I need to check on their wiki 19:46:18 but i think ^^^ 19:46:32 It's the current...ness that I'm hoping for. :) 19:46:45 Eh, oh well 19:46:58 gholms: In particular, the recommended stage at which the gem is installed has changed. 19:47:13 (I believe the wiki page states in %build, but new packages are doing it in %prep instead) 19:47:15 ? they only changed RSpec 1.x -> 2.x 19:47:45 * spstarr looks at packaging wiki 19:48:28 no change since 2010 19:48:30 we're ok :) 19:48:51 spstarr: No, what I'm saying is that that page no longer is current. 19:48:59 oh? 19:49:02 It no longer matches up with what the ruby people are actually doing. 19:49:11 (it does for the most part, but there are some details that are different now) 19:49:13 clalance: does the packaging committe know this? 19:49:19 not to be all bureaucratic 19:49:26 well I am aware of the symlinks being dropped 19:49:30 and have done so in my specs 19:49:30 but i'd think that ... it would be useful for that stuff to be, um, up to date 19:49:32 rbergeron: I haven't the faintest clue. 19:49:33 ;) 19:49:35 okay. 19:49:38 rbergeron: Yes, I agree. 19:49:43 Someone needs to update it. 19:49:48 Hmmm. 19:49:59 Just to be clear, it is not *wildly* wrong. 19:50:03 Just some details are different now. 19:50:19 #info Ruby packaging process is apparently now slightly different (in details) from what is shown on wiki page for ruby packaging 19:50:32 #action rbergeron to drop a mail to packaging committee, ruby sig (if there is one) and ask what's up 19:50:39 Is Packaging:Ruby on the wiki correct? 19:50:45 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Ruby 19:50:49 there's a ruby-sig mailing list/group yes 19:50:50 Or is that also out-of-date? 19:50:50 gholms: That's the page we are talking about. 19:50:56 Ah 19:51:19 spstarr: but are they active? :) 19:51:26 -ish :). 19:51:31 somewhat, im part of it, but not many emails 19:51:34 okay. 19:51:39 well, i'll harass. 19:51:44 err, ask nicely. 19:51:45 i mean. 19:51:46 :) 19:51:50 * rbergeron puts on her sweetest smile 19:52:01 most appreciated ;) 19:52:51 [You suddenly realize it is unnaturally quiet] 19:52:57 i know. 19:52:59 it's my smiling. 19:53:08 * rbergeron will count backwards from 87 and then close the meeting 19:53:28 * clalance is going to drop and start the long weekend early. 19:53:35 Happy Labor Day to those in the US. 19:53:39 clalance: Enjoy :) 19:53:43 See you next week. 19:53:44 and Canada :) 19:54:15 rbergeron: so, uh ... 19:54:26 quaid: yes? 19:54:30 rbergeron: want to talk on-list about what to plan for Milan? 19:54:38 um, sure; i don't think anyone here is going. 19:54:38 that is, a cloud track + ... 19:54:42 right 19:55:01 well, let's do some blog posts and such and find out who IS going 19:55:25 quaid: there are 2 guys from aeolus-land, coming from brno 19:55:33 cool, that's great 19:55:45 but afaik - nobody from any other project, red hat or non red hat 19:55:46 there is a lot of Fedora crossover, it's a newly announced project, they want to get people using and contributing 19:56:12 quaid: yeah 19:56:17 im going to give my opennebula project a code name, "precipitation" :) clouds produce precip, (in this virtual machines) 19:56:34 heh 19:56:48 * gholms eyerolls :P 19:56:50 gholms: is anyone from euca in europe?
