I know last week we had some issues, but I think dgilmore is mostly sorted on that stuff? 19:04:33 jforbes: you rock. (which page?) 19:04:42 spevack: indeed. +1 to that 19:04:48 rbergeron: there front page and the EC2 tests 19:05:14 Got some word out about the EC2 beta images, and haven't heard much 19:05:20 I don't know if this is off topic or not, but are there any plans to migrate the EC2 tests to actual test cases? 19:05:21 jforbes: okay. i've been (rapidly in the past 10 minutes) putting together the very basic framework of the test day page as well. 19:05:44 rbergeron: then you can drop the front page and I can just finish up EC2 :) 19:06:03 tflink: I think it will be more on topic in a few minutes when we get to the test day part of this? Maybe you can elaborate on it a few minutes (blocker meeting fun depending)? 19:06:21 jforbes: okay. unless you have stuff you've already done, you may be way ahead of me. 19:06:32 I just wanted to get some stuff in order so people can copypasta whatever they have thus far. 19:06:36 rbergeron: no, it'll be at least 30-45 minutes more 19:06:41 we can't have just a 2hr meeting 19:06:41 * spevack just launched a f16 beta image 19:06:54 jdarcy/kkeithley: any news on the hekafs front? 19:07:08 * rbergeron looks around for someone from aeolus or openstack and not seeing anything. 19:07:09 for testing? 19:07:20 * dgilmore notes he has not heard a single thing about the ec2 images 19:07:40 ??? 19:07:42 rbergeron: I jsut copied the wiki formatting from last test day and was changing the dates/releases 19:07:58 dgilmore: they work :) 19:08:00 jforbes: maybe that's better than what I was doing. I literally just used the template 19:08:01 dgilmore: I posted on the planet a couple of days ago 19:08:13 what hekafs news do you want, testing? Or other stuff? 19:08:17 rbergeron: oh, okay, I will finish it up then 19:08:21 kkeithley: in general? 19:08:37 kkeithley: only if you feel like having updates 19:08:38 In general, long term hekafs will merge into gluster 19:08:57 #info Long-term, HekaFS will merge into Gluster 19:08:59 interessant 19:09:11 so then it will be back to one project? 19:09:28 short term, both glusterfs and hekafs latest and greatest are through the updates pipeline and in the stable/fedora repo for F16 19:09:33 The SSL patch looks like it'll lead the way toward all of the pieces being absorbed one-by-one into GlusterFS./ 19:10:23 #info short-term, both glusterfs and hekafs latest and greatest are through the updates pipeline and in the stable/fedora repo for F16; SSL patch looks like it will lead the way toward all of the pieces being absorbed one-by-one into GlusterFS 19:10:31 okay then. 19:10:42 I'm probably not the authority on the subject, but yeah, one project with the hekafs/cloudy stuff probably being configurable 19:11:06 There's also a translator-writing dweebinar coming up next week, if anybody's interested. 19:11:14 translator-writing? 19:11:20 rbergeron: yes :) 19:11:25 all about glusterfs translators 19:11:26 gluster xlators 19:11:38 rbergeron: Yeah, so we can get more people adding functionality. :) 19:11:45 oh, not like, translation/localization. 19:11:56 rbergeron: no. think API for adding stuff 19:12:14 johnmark or jdarcy or kkeithley: can one of you fwd that info to the cloud sig list just for people's awareness/interest/possible participation? 19:12:26 rbergeron: absolunky 19:12:32 as in how hekafs adds encryption, tenants, and uidmapping 19:12:35 jdarcy: dweebinar? must remember that one 19:12:49 #actoin johnmark to fwd info to cloud-sig mailing list on translator-writing webinar for glusterfs 19:12:52 gah 19:12:58 #action johnmark to fwd info to cloud-sig mailing list on translator-writing webinar for glusterfs 19:13:07 Okay.

Kaleb, didn't you have some quick-start-style instructions somewhere? 19:16:05 I did a "save the date" in the EC2 beta image announce too 19:16:08 I wrote up instructions a while back on how to set up and test a simple config, 19:16:21 yes, hang on.... 19:16:22 rbergeron: I'm certainly not going to stop anyone from doing the announcement :) 19:16:32 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SimpleHekaFS 19:16:40 tflink: okay. I can do it, I'll copypasta a bit from your stuff, and combine for magic. 19:16:57 #action rbergeron to make a nice announcement/reminder about Cloud SIG Test Day on tuesday 19:17:03 (so i can actually be useful wrt test day in some way!) 19:17:25 #info Anyone else can feel free to make blog posts / reminders / mails / 140-character thoughts re: test day as well. 19:17:35 In last weeks meeting I agreed to do some more. Will probably write up a how-to for a more complex config with, e.g., replication 19:18:09 kkeithley: is there a simple list of tests that people can yay/nay on when they test? 19:18:22 not yet 19:18:44 but you mount on the client and do some writes, read them back, declare victory 19:19:05 Or you can have a more comprehensive set of tests too 19:19:09 kkeithley: so that could be a fairly simple list right there. 19:19:23 yes 19:19:36 kkeithley: looking to do what makes sense, what you can handle in terms of documenting without overwhelming you, what's not going to be insane for people to test, some combination there. :) 19:19:38 I will expand my how-to 19:20:46 I don't know where to draw the line for what's insane and what's not. 19:20:48 kkeithley: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-09-26_ABRT <-- some of the other test days have nice matrices that might be useful just to get an idea of how you might organize it 19:20:59 kkeithley: best judgement, or maybe make a draft and ask on-list? 19:21:38 could make "simple" be the baseline/minimum and everything over that optional? 19:21:45 Most of the other folks have actual test cases listed out. I don't know that you have time / want to get that detailed (though tthere are others around who might be able to help) but... yeah. 19:21:49 Sure. 19:21:52 I think that's a fabulous idea. 19:21:52 :) 19:22:16 jforbes: to tflink's thoughts earlier on writing up actual test cases...... 19:22:17 kkeithley: let's also get input from #gluster, gluster-users, etc 19:22:21 what are your plans for hte EC2 stuff? 19:22:22 kkeithley: happy to help with that 19:22:31 excellent 19:22:42 rbergeron: the actual test cases haven't changed from what we did with the F15 images 19:22:43 johnmark: ^^^ 19:23:16 mdomsch: hai 19:23:36 better late than never 19:23:38 jforbes: okay, cool 19:23:43 mdomsch: that's my personal motto 19:24:02 I'll spend monday writing up some stuff and run it by #fedora-cloud 19:24:06 mdomsch: are you helping out at all on test day we have coming up (next thursday, 10/20) with openstack stuff? 19:24:24 #action kkeithley to spend monday writing up some hekafs testing stuff and run it by #fedora-cloud 19:24:41 * rbergeron notes that most of the other openstack folks aren't here atm and thus she doesn't know 19:24:52 rbergeron: I'll be online, but I don't have a specific plan 19:25:03 mdomsch: okay, just wanted to check :) 19:25:28 * rbergeron notes that aeolus is in the same boat at the moment, mmorsi isn't here to ask 19:25:52 * rbergeron goes a-hailin' 19:26:06 mmorsi: HAI 19:26:16 hey 19:26:16 mmorsi: do you know what's up with aeolus testing plans for test day next week? 19:26:24 ah was writing them up 19:26:30 ah, excellente! 19:26:36 b4 i realized we had to push alot of updates to aeolus into f16 19:26:41 but those are quickly coming to a close 19:26:51 (that's pronounced ex-suh-len-tay 19:26:52 ) 19:26:59 for those that are interested 19:27:01 https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/aeolus-devel/2011-October/005700.html 19:27:06 could use some karma love ^ 19:27:12 but regardless, they will be in 19:27:21 and the test instructions will be on the wiki soon 19:27:21 #info Aeolus updates could use some karma love, plz apply 19:27:30 most of them just need +1 19:27:39 mmorsi: are you putting them in the test day wiki, or just into $someotherwikipage and then merge them into the test day page? 19:27:54 Or merge links into the test day page and put actual test cases possibly on test day page? 19:27:56 just have them locally but will put them on the test day wiki 19:28:10 wanted to go all out w/ screenshots and what not 19:28:14 okay.

Is there a page where all the progress is listed? /me seems to recall there is a page 19:41:11 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Eucalyptus 19:41:13 I think that's it. 19:41:21 I was originally trying to get things into F16, but I've abandoned that now, because jboss is targeting F17, and I don't want to have to maintain branches of all their stuff in F16 19:41:35 yep, that's the right page 19:41:35 mull: yeah. 19:41:46 it looks like mgoldmann is helping you out, and he's a total rockstar. :) 19:41:52 yes he is. :) 19:42:30 #info Eucalyptus is being packaged for (hopefully) F17, see link if you want to help out with packaging/deps/etc. 19:42:33 Very cool. 19:42:37 * rbergeron eyes ke4qqq 19:43:00 (yes, i'm already thinking about F17) 19:43:01 I imagine things will ramp up in December / January (I'm already signed up to go to Blacksburg, btw) 19:43:17 mull: awesome, will be good to have you there :) 19:43:30 hopefully we'll (cloud folks) will have a nice presence again. 19:43:31 my first fudcon since '07 ... looking forward to it 19:43:55 mull: going to be there? 19:44:15 jforbes, yep, it's a nice short drive from durham 19:44:30 excellent 19:45:07 * mull should try to convince euca to fly gholms over, too 19:45:10 mull: we may wind up having some sort of FUDBus coming up from RDU area, or at least mega-van, if you're interested - i'll update folks as those plans come more into play. 19:45:23 rbergeron, that would be cool 19:45:34 mull: no kidding. and if they won't we'll figure out how to get him there. we just need to convince them to at least give him some time off :) 19:46:23 * rbergeron eyes ke4qqq more and thinks he's looking elsewhere, working or something. 19:46:27 Ah, well. 19:46:34 what am I supposed to look at? 19:46:40 oh. 19:46:46 * rbergeron was just pestering people about F17 plans.
