Just including it doesn't really buy us anything. 14:08:31 beta date is 14-Nov 14:08:38 aglitke, Cool! Great to see you here 14:08:51 mburns, right, well, branch day? 14:08:56 mburns: sure we did 14:09:08 mburns: http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Second_Release (feature freeze -> branching day) 14:09:28 i was assuming nov-14 is branch date till now? 14:09:35 * dneary renamed that page 14:09:58 When I thought that the release management page for 3.2 would be called "Third Release" I said "stop" 14:10:07 oschreib: yes, according to the release process, we should branch and freeze right before beta 14:10:13 so Nov 14 14:10:36 * mburns wouldn't mind adding a week in between freeze and beta though (freeze nov 7, beta on nov 14) 14:11:24 itamar: ok, are there feature pages or a list of the features you want to get in? 14:12:05 aglitke: dneary: is there a feature page for MOM inclusion? 14:12:25 mburns, one sec... 14:13:06 http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Project_Proposal_-_MOM <-- very old 14:13:22 ui plugins will hopefully mature enough by then 14:13:22 http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Category:SLA 14:13:39 network as a main tab and network permission 14:13:39 mburns, I saw the Gerrit patchset, which looked like it was approved 14:13:47 The SLA category is the more recent work from Doron and I 14:13:48 #info UI plugins should be ready 14:14:02 gluster pushed a few features around importing existing gluster clusters 14:14:11 #info make network a main tab should be included 14:14:12 and alon pushed improvements to bootstraps 14:14:16 #info import of gluster clusters 14:14:19 #undo 14:14:19 Removing item from minutes: 14:14:24 #info import of existing gluster clusters 14:14:33 #info bootstrap improvements 14:14:51 #info SLA is a target for inclusion (MOM) 14:15:02 cac support in user portal for spice 14:15:16 #info cac support in user portal for spice 14:16:00 and hopefully some improvements on creating vms based on pre-defined profiles (instance types) 14:16:25 i guess a few more improvements will go in other than these (and the main changes are a lot of bug fixes of course) 14:16:45 need to check with danken if he agrees but we were shooting to have libvdsm included as well (as tech preview) 14:16:54 #info vm creation base on pre-defined profiles (instance types) 14:17:08 #info other small improvements, bug fixes 14:17:15 need to verify with ayal, but i assume storage live migration should be there 14:17:28 #info (preview) libvdsm 14:17:41 #info (abaron) storage live migration 14:17:50 there are a few changes already merged upstream like sync network and nwfilter 14:17:54 14[[07Special:Log/newusers14]]4 create210 02 5* 03DNeary 5* 10created new account User:Vfeenstr 14:17:55 14[[07User:Vfeenstr14]]4 !N10 02http://wiki.ovirt.org/w/index.php?oldid=4614&rcid=4729 5* 03DNeary 5* (+35) 10Creating user page with biography of new user. 14:17:56 14[[07User talk:Vfeenstr14]]4 !N10 02http://wiki.ovirt.org/w/index.php?oldid=4615&rcid=4730 5* 03DNeary 5* (+219) 10Welcome! 14:18:17 #info sync network, nwfilter already merged 14:18:24 14[[07Special:Log/newusers14]]4 create210 02 5* 03DNeary 5* 10created new account User:Hozn 14:18:25 14[[07User:Hozn14]]4 !N10 02http://wiki.ovirt.org/w/index.php?oldid=4616&rcid=4732 5* 03DNeary 5* (+73) 10Creating user page with biography of new user. 14:18:26 14[[07User talk:Hozn14]]4 !N10 02http://wiki.ovirt.org/w/index.php?oldid=4617&rcid=4733 5* 03DNeary 5* (+219) 10Welcome! 14:18:32 excellent, lots of good stuff 14:18:40 more than i expected for a mostly bugfix release 14:20:00 #action mburns to pull all of these features into the 3.2 release summary page 14:20:47 mburns, Is Dec 19 looking like the GA estimate? 14:20:53 A Wednesday in mid December 14:21:11 aglitke: I'm all for libvdsm in (but needs acks from smizrahi) 14:21:11 once i have the summary page up, i'll start harassing^Wasking people to update a feature page for each one with info that sgordon can use for release notes 14:21:21 \o/ 14:21:37 dneary: i'd like to shoot for the 12th 14:21:39 danken, yeah...

I am supposed to be helping with that. 14:45:24 mburns, I heard "roughly the same" 14:45:33 but yes, we need to confirm that 14:46:09 dneary, Yes that page has good info on the architecture. 14:46:12 aglitke: cdub should be able to set up access for you, i think 14:46:31 mburns, ok. Will follow-up with him 14:46:57 that's all the info i have on Barcelona 14:47:04 dneary: do you know anything else? 14:47:11 mburns, Yes, that about sums up where I'm at too 14:47:32 The stand is getting done, the agenda is coming along but slowly, and it might need a little nudge 14:47:33 #topic other topics 14:47:38 anyone have anything else? 14:47:43 Registrations I have no visibility on yet 14:48:09 But I think clearly we're going to have a challenge getting a good turn-out since we're opposite the KVM Forum 14:49:32 dneary: we have to look at it as 2 different audiences -- KVM Forum caters more toward the lower levels while oVirt is more about deploying and managing an entire datacenter of VMs 14:51:01 mburns, Right 14:51:30 mburns, But there are definitely user/deployer topics in the KVM forum, and developer topics in the oVirt workshop 14:51:36 Hi lh 14:51:42 dneary: agreed 14:51:49 dneary, greetings from my hotel where there is actually useful connectivity 14:52:03 lh: ahh good timing 14:52:19 mburns, i try. this time i seem to have succeeded. 14:52:33 lh: any details on the workshops? 14:52:45 mburns, dneary has details on bangalore 14:53:10 lh: I was just saying that I don't have visibility on Barcelona registration yet 14:53:21 The Bangalore update is done 14:53:23 lh: yes, we have bangalore covered 14:53:35 mburns, for KVM Forum + oVirt, we're making good progress. outstanding action items include choosing booth space, selecting attendee gifts and announcing results of CFP 14:53:44 (only question now is how much drop-off we will have from day 1 to day 2 14:53:53 attendee list forthcoming from Linux Foundation today for Barcelona 14:53:56 and whether we should re-open sign-ups just for day 2) 14:54:34 dneary, I think if re-open sign ups we'll have some folks not make it into second round of registrations. 14:54:52 dneary, perhaps better to email the attendee list with the new agenda format, ask which day(s) they'd like to attend and register them manually? 14:56:03 lh: I was thinking: change the dates on the Eventbrite page, notify everyone of the second day and full agenda, and ask people to confirm if they will not attend the second day so that we can figure out what the day 2 attendance will be and course correct accordingly 14:56:23 dneary, that works too, though it puts the burden on the attendees for our course correction. 14:56:28 i suspect they'll be fine with it. 14:56:30 Yes 14:56:50 The alternative puts a burden on attendees to confirm their presence on day 2 14:57:01 (unless I misunderstood your proposal) 14:57:44 We have to email them either way, right? If yes, in a perfect world we'd take care of everything for them on the backend and tell them great, turn up this day at this time and you are all set. 14:58:03 This is not a perfect world, so sending them back to re-register on EventBrite is not the worst thing. 14:58:40 Given our findings, I expect most folks will be interested in our user focused sessions on Day 1, which they are already registered for, so shouldn't be too much more work for them. 14:59:13 OK 14:59:17 #info looking at re-opening registration for day 2 in bangalore 14:59:36 I was thinking more along the lines of "you're good for day 1 anyway, if you do nothing you're also good for day 2 14:59:47 mburns, Good summary :) 14:59:50 dneary, that works. 14:59:52 #info open items for barcelona: booth layout, attendee gifts; announce CFP 15:00:03 mburns, I know you're looking into demo equipment for Barcelona as well - any news on that front? 15:00:14 s/"announce CPF"/"Aannounce talk schedule" 15:00:16 dneary: i like the "do nothing, and you're all set for day 2" 15:00:25 #undo 15:00:25 Removing item from minutes: 15:00:30 #info open items for barcelona: booth layout, attendee gifts; announce schedule 15:00:37 mburns, The risk is that people do nothing and don't show for day 2, of course 15:00:57 dneary: right, but it puts the burden on us 15:01:35 i'd explain that we'd like to reopen registration for day 2 and wanted to confirm whether they'll be in attendance for day 2 15:01:48 and if not, can we open their seat for registration 15:01:59 obviously with better and nicer language... 15:02:59 mburns, Yeah 15:03:00 mburns, dneary "We've added a second day to highlight information for developers. If you'd benefit from these talks, please sign up for Day 2." 15:03:15 * dneary is leaning towards lh now 15:03:28 lh: should have some sort of answer by EOW 15:03:39 (on hardware 15:03:39 s/please sign up for Day 2"/please let us know and we'll sign you up for Day 2. 15:03:40 ) 15:03:51 mburns, excellent. 15:03:53 need a deadline... 15:03:59 mburns, On 3.2 release plans: has improving the upgrade path made it onto the project plans? 15:04:02 if you're going to re-open... 15:04:12 Sorry to switch topics, but I see the time rolling down 15:04:12 dneary: not explicitly, i don't think 15:04:23 OK. Maybe it should? 15:04:35 dneary: probably 15:05:02 dneary: though might not be possible in 3.2 given short time frame 15:05:14 i'll talk to the maintainers and see if we can map something out 15:05:32 mburns, end of this week for demo equipment go or no go, plus specs required by close of business this friday 15:05:53 lh: yes, should be doable 15:06:04 dneary: depends on the target OS, I guess the upgrade will be a bit easier 15:06:20 mburns, excellent 15:06:23 mburns, thank you 15:06:28 oschreib: basically, we need to be more flexible with upgrade 15:06:38 and not tie ourselves to a specific version 15:06:46 i.e. 3.2 needs to run on what 3.1 runs on 15:06:52 as well as new versions 15:07:08 and hopefully 3.1 runs on F18 as well... 15:07:35 #action mburns to look into upgrade flow 15:07:54 ok, anything else for today? 15:08:00 I think what mburns is saying is that all supported versions of Fedora should be supported. 15:08:29 RobertM: it goes beyond that though 15:08:44 when coding to new features in other packages, make sure there are fallbacks 15:08:56 or some sort of capabilities negotiation 15:09:18 in 3.1, we needed a f17 libvirt feature and had no fallback if it wasn't there 15:09:25 that forced a move to F17 15:09:42 ok I follow 15:10:11 Upgrading the engine, and using 3.1 Node with 3.2 engine would be sufficient, I think 15:10:39 you can boil it down to "all supported versions" as long as it's understood that new features need to be disabled if they're not available 15:10:45 dneary: yes, that's cluster version 15:11:11 set cluster version = 3.1 on 3.2 and it should work 15:11:24 but the upgrade of engine from 3.1 to 3.2 should not require a fedora upgrade 15:11:44 and a fedora upgrade of a 3.1 engine host shouldn't break engine 15:11:45 dneary, Depends. Right now in theory you can run a 3.0 node from 3.1 but you have to have the 3.0 and 3.1 nodes in diff cluster. There needs to be a way upgrade a node without having to remove it from a cluster 15:12:30 mburns, Yes, all agreed 15:12:44 dneary, 11 people responded to say they want to attend the second day. 15:12:57 RobertM: you should be able to run a 3.1 host in a 3.0 cluster 15:12:57 jbrooks, 11 of 16 respondents? 15:13:08 dneary, 11 of 52 15:13:08 jbrooks, That's pretty high 15:13:17 Did we get 52 respondent? 15:13:26 s 15:13:27 and once all hosts are 3.1 capable, move the cluster to 3.1 15:13:39 This wasn't a poll question -- the message said, respond to this message if you want to attend day two 15:13:43 mburns, good to know 15:14:31 We mailed 52 people the poll, and that message asked about the 2nd day 15:14:52 jbrooks: dneary: this can probably be taken off the meeting for discussion 15:14:53 jbrooks, that's a good data point. perhaps our message to those 11 should be "congrats, you're registered" and to other attendees "we still have 35+ spaces left for day 2" 15:14:57 dneary, ^^ ? 15:15:09 but i like that idea... 15:15:19 jbrooks, I read something different into that 15:15:32 Email 52 people, 16 reply, 11 of the 16 say they're interested in day 2 15:16:05 dneary, yes, of those who acted on the msg, 11 said yes to 2nd day 15:16:13 lh: Yes, we shouldn't re-register people who have already said they're in for day 2 15:18:06 14[[07Troubleshooting14]]4 !10 02http://wiki.ovirt.org/w/index.php?diff=4622&oldid=4621&rcid=4738 5* 03Mburns 5* (-41) 10/* Installation */ change references to Node.
