let's get started

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:04:26

!topic Followups

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:04:39

we are overdue for a SIG report, which is mostly my fault

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:05:13

https://hackmd.io/j4oSvY7KTvuwyUxSxRs14g is the draft, I will try to wrap this up today, but feel free to review/add as needed

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:05:15

it's been a difficult year

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:06:51

did we have anything else for followups?

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:07:17

probably need to re-review the draft because things have changed in the past week

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:08:27

tbh I'm inclined to make this just cover up to Q4 and put anything new in the next one

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:08:31

otherwise we'll never finish it lol

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:09:26

yeah

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:09:42

we gotta have _something_ for the next report :P

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:11:40

I do have a followup though

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:12:42

My work to get Wayland-native Anaconda live installer code from Fedora backported to RHEL 10 has all landed and been released

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:13:03

It's not yet in a compose, but there's a build in Stream Koji now

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:14:12

so I'm getting very close to being ready to produce live media for Hyperscale 10

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:14:24

there's still a few more things to do, but we're getting there

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:16:05

excellent

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:16:10

let's move on to

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:16:14

!topic Announcements

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:16:27

CentOS Connect is in a few weeks in Brussels, and a bunch of us will be there

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:16:42

and we'll have our usual Hyperscale update talk, plus a SIG face-to-face meetup

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:17:07

the meetup this time will be a dual-SIG meetup, with the Alternative Images SIG too

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:17:17

since we have lots of overlap

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:17:21

do we have remote attendees joining this time?

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:17:36

last couple of times we didn't, and I'd rather not lug the camera around if I don't have to

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:18:28

I don't know. I did mention in the Fedora Workstation WG meeting yesterday that we would be interested in some Fedora/RHEL GNOME folks attending since Michel Lind 🎩⛱️ UTC-8 until Jan 19 plans to make a Hyperscale GNOME thing.

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:18:55

maybe we should do an eventbrite for this to gauge attendance

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:19:02

or ideally something better because eventbrite sucks

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:19:15

we could ask shaunm to make a pretix thing for it

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:19:35

yeah in hindsight we should have just folded this into the regular Connect registration

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:20:30

might be a good idea to do that for future meetups anyway

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:20:46

that way we can know ahead of time if we need remote attendance equipment

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:21:13

we lugged that stuff around a lot last year and it was a tossup on whether it was useful

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:21:53

yeah

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:22:00

anything else for announcements?

<@daandemeyer/:matrix.org>

17:22:28

The systemd fedora spec uses tmt now to run the upstream integration tests

<@daandemeyer/:matrix.org>

17:22:42

(With the packages built in koji)

<@daandemeyer/:matrix.org>

17:22:48

via testing-farm

<@daandemeyer/:matrix.org>

17:23:07

We can see about reusing testing-farm in gitlab for our spec as well

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:26:08

sweet

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:26:24

on that note I started testing out gitlab for our packages

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:26:42

things should more or less work already, but we need to agree on a convention for branch names and document it

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:27:32

I don't personally have a strong opinion on this, happy to do whatever y'all prefer; ideally we can then propose this as guidance for other sigs as well, though I kinda expect everyone to do their own thing here

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:28:13

as most of our packages are forks of fedora or centos packages, I'd like us to make it so that it's possible for us to have a merged repo of branches

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:29:01

agreed

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:29:22

next up

<@davide:cavalca.name>

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:29:40

I propose that we use the meetup in Brussels to clean these up

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:29:46

as the board right now isn't terribly useful

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:31:01

yes

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:31:17

though we should probably have a ticket for tracking our ruleset for gitlab based packaging

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:31:31

though we should probably have a ticket for tracking making the ruleset for gitlab based packaging

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:31:45

ah good idea, do you want to file one?

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:31:57

yeah I'll do that

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:32:18

thanks

we have one ticket: https://pagure.io/centos-sig-hyperscale/sig/issue/182

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:34:26

Ivan cannot join us today but he gave me a statement to share

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:34:43

> Hi. I’m Ivan Kruglov. I’m a half system engineer half SRE. Together with Daan and Davide I’m currently working on developing and running systemd at massive infra scale. My latest contributing to systemd is varlink interface for managing virtual machines. The next to come is varlink interface for PID1. I’m interested in joining this SIG to work on hyperscale backport of systemd.

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:35:31

are there any objections to Ivan joining the SIG ?

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:36:24

nope

<@rcolebaugh:matrix.org>

17:36:59

no objections from me either

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:37:25

!agreed welcome ikruglov to the Hyperscale SIG

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:37:36

I will take care of the paperwork after this

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:37:52

this leaves us with

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:37:53

!topic Miscellaneous

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:38:06

we have a SIG hangout this afternoon

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:38:20

I'll be around for it

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:38:38

I should be around for a bit as well

<@rcolebaugh:matrix.org>

17:39:24

Nice, I'll be there for a bit too!

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:39:43

anything else folks want to talk about?

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:40:09

do we have any upcoming conferences other than Connect to talk about?

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:40:34

there's SCALE in March, though we'll see how it goes with the fires in LA...

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:40:42

yeah...

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:40:59

Texas Linuxfest moved to October

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:41:08

which honestly is probably better for everyone involved

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:41:12

a lot less crunchy

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:42:51

that's usually when ASG is, so we'll see how the schedules work out

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:43:07

iirc, ASG is September

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:43:14

I'm still waiting to find out when Akademy will be

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:43:39

it might be worth it for us to consider doing a Hyperscale talk at Akademy (which will _probably_ be in Berlin)

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:43:58

last year ASG was right after Akademy

<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>

17:47:02

but it floats between July and September

<@nhanlon:beeper.com>

17:47:08

oh that's great news actually :D

<@davide:cavalca.name>

17:49:31

I think that's it for today, thanks everyone and see you soon
