14:25:32 lh: sure 14:25:37 mburns, thanks 14:25:38 #topic Other Topics 14:25:51 sgordon: what was the question about Gluster support? 14:26:13 it was more a curiosity question as to how far we are going 14:26:36 sgordon: right now...just consuming gluster storage 14:26:39 i am trying to work out the middle ground between the procedures RobertM has written up and how it is envisaged it will actually work in the future 14:26:47 right 14:26:57 it's an extension of the POSIX feature from 3.1, it just didn't work with node 14:27:34 sgordon: i think, eventually, we'll look at managing local storage on the hypervisor hosts (node and full OS) 14:27:42 but that's not 3.2 14:28:07 Yea sgordon 4.0 is were the planed role out for the fixed file system. 14:28:15 and given difficulty of getting feature list for 3.2, i don't want to speculate on 3.3/4.0 14:29:08 any other topics for this meeting? 14:29:10 mburns, ok, available now if the team is ready 14:29:19 lh: sure 14:29:22 mburns, great 14:29:31 #topic oVirt Workshop -- Bangalore 14:29:40 Bangalore Workshop - went very well, we had a full room (50 attendees, maybe a few more) 14:29:58 #info workshop went very well -- full house (maybe even more than full) 14:30:01 almost everyone stayed for the whole workshop, lots of good Q&A 14:30:14 we had participants from Dell, IBM, Cisco and more 14:30:19 #info full attendance for whole workshop 14:30:22 #info good Q&A 14:30:34 give away was a USB stick with oVirt, people really liked it 14:30:38 #info reps from Dell, IBM, Cisco and more were in attendance 14:30:40 should consider this a useful gift for the future 14:30:56 #info people were big fans of oVirt-on-a-stick 14:30:59 mburns, I am ready to move on the KVM Forum + oVirt in Barcelona if there are no questions on Bangalore 14:31:09 #topic oVirt Workshop -- Barcelona 14:31:17 on to Barcelona 14:31:18 We are still waiting on the schedule to be published. 14:31:35 #info schedule to be published in the near future 14:31:41 I am not sure what the hold up is, but I do know that speakers have been notified about their proposals because I have seen some swap in and swap out. 14:31:55 I will follow up on that item so we can begin promoting heavily 14:32:00 #info speakers notified of acceptance 14:32:07 lh, can we publish on the wiki in the meantime? 14:32:10 I would like to ask the Board Member companies for help in promoting KVM Forum + oVirt - will be asking on board list 14:32:11 #action lh will follow up on the schedule being posted 14:32:21 jbrooks, please do! 14:32:37 lh, I don't have it 14:32:39 jbrooks, in fact, cdub has the schedule in a document somewhere if we wanted to pull data from there in the meantime 14:32:52 jbrooks: i'll talk to cdub and get it to you 14:32:59 mburns, thank you 14:33:01 thx 14:33:20 And we are all set for the booth except for an oVirt logo for graphics, I'll take care of that today. 14:33:25 #action mburns to get schedule to jbrooks for posting on the wiki 14:33:28 need help to add host on ovirt-engine (Failed to install Host node01. Step: INSTALLER LIB; Details: deployUtil.py download failed. Pathname could not be resolved (verify computer/domain name)..) 14:33:30 mburns, lh: My apologies - I'm here but wasn't paying attention 14:33:38 Working on something for next week 14:33:45 We still need to determine what our giveaway will be for the oVirt booth and at the workshop, but I figure I leave that to dneary 14:34:04 dneary, I can get you in touch with our staples promo products representative for Europe to help with that. 14:34:04 lh, Thanks :-) 14:34:05 * mburns thinks that the usb keys are a good idea... 14:34:15 When you say giveaway, you mean raffle prize, right? 14:34:16 for one or the other... 14:34:17 mburns, i agree, but i am not sure if we can afford them for booth give aways 14:34:28 we can do stickers for the booth... 14:34:28 This is not something to be given to each workshop participant? 14:34:35 dneary, you need both. 14:34:36 lh: ping me about promoting (happy to) 14:35:01 mburns, we are doing some nice hand charged flashlights for the gluster booth, may be good to have a small ovirt gift for the booth too beyond just stickers 14:35:03 lh, I thought producing 16GB oVirt on a Stick USB keys for Barcelona would be good 14:35:04 jb_netapp, shall do, thank you 14:35:11 dneary, then we should do the USB keys 14:35:23 dneary, i would do usb keys for workshop since the cost is high 14:35:30 We'd be looking at a €600 budget or so for the keyw 14:35:33 keys 14:35:34 and if we can get a good deal, some in the booth, but not for just everyone who passes by 14:35:45 lh, Agreed 14:35:53 600 EUR for how many USB keys? and how will we handle getting oVirt onto the keys? 14:35:55 lh: one thing that i saw some booths do at summit was have nicer giveaways that are available for people that show real interest 14:35:56 dneary, ^^ 14:36:13 mburns, I agree with you but I also don't want us to look .... stingy. 14:36:25 lh, 50 keys (isn't that the capacity of our workshop?) 14:36:29 mburns, I am sure that between me and dneary we can find something small, tasteful and useful to give away at the booth 14:36:33 dneary, for KVM Forum + oVirt? 14:36:37 that would be 200 people. 14:36:37 lh: sure 14:36:53 Then €600 won't cover it 14:37:02 dneary, nope. 14:37:19 #info attendee gift for workshop still being debated 14:37:33 dneary, this is a great time for us to ask the other sponsors to pitch in for gifts too, lets talk online 14:37:42 we need to make a decision on this very soon 14:37:48 lh, I agree 14:38:01 #info booth is mostly ready, just need graphic -- lh will handle that this week 14:38:06 It is something that got put on the back burner by me, but it now needs to be a top priority 14:38:07 other than this matter, i believe KVM Forum + oVirt is pretty much good to go, modulo needing a list of who will exhibit in the booth 14:38:14 #info mburns will organize the demo for the booth 14:38:18 After publishing the agenda, which should now be close to final 14:38:33 mburns, i figured that you might be able to help us determine who should be in the booth to give demos and talk to attendees 14:38:48 mburns, or at least tell us (and by us I mean Dave Neary, I can consult) who to pester to turn up at the booth 14:38:55 lh, How will things work if oVirt workshop attendees don't show up? 14:38:56 lh: i'll probably be there most of both days 14:39:07 Will we have a 200 person room with 40 or 50 people in it? 14:39:28 lh: and i'll talk to itamar and see who else we can get to cover it 14:39:29 Or will we be able to pitch it as a free walk-in event within the limits of our capacity? 14:39:30 dneary, unclear to me. that's a cdub question, as i think the spacing in the rooms is tied to the schedule times 14:39:41 mburns, thanks, that would be helpful data 14:40:02 dneary, we have 200 attendee slots free at KVM Forum + oVirt, some are going for KVM stuff, some for oVirt 14:40:05 I prefer to fill a small room rather than lose energy in a big room 14:40:09 dneary, but we'd need to give everyone registered a present 14:40:13 Ah, right 14:40:29 So my estimate of 50 people for oVirt seems like it's reasonable 14:40:30 dneary, I think that can also be retooled on-site depending on need, that's why I am planning to be there. air flight traffic control as needed. 14:40:43 Will this be a gift to go with lanyard collection? 14:40:43 dneary, I don't know that it is reasonable or not, how are we going to get that data point? 14:40:59 lh, Seat of pants 14:41:06 dneary, i think handing out at registration is wise. 14:41:14 OK 14:41:19 dneary, so today will be a day like every other day, iterate, iterate, iterate 14:41:36 mburns, that's all i have on Barcelona unless there are more questions 14:41:45 * lh eyes dneary and assumes there are more questions 14:41:47 lh: dneary: thanks for the update 14:42:04 dneary: anything to add about bangalore or infra? 14:42:15 mburns, thank you 14:42:19 * lh wanders back to other meeting 14:43:03 anyone have other topics to cover? 14:43:19 going once... 14:43:25 mburns my mouse isn´t moving... that counts? LOL 14:43:32 lh, I don't think there are more questions right now 14:43:43 * SirDerigo needs to reboot 14:44:02 SirDerigo: yeah, out of the scope of this meeting... 14:44:15 going twice.. 14:44:52 gone. 14:44:54 thanks all 14:44:59 #endmeeting
