oVirt Workshop Schedule
by Leslie Hawthorn 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hello everyone, As mentioned during last week's IRC meeting, I'm working on getting a rolling schedule of oVirt workshops organized. The goal is to host a workshop every few months and rotate through the various geos so that we can spread the word about oVirt most widely. Here's what we have slated thus far: June 8, 2012: Workshop at LinuxCon Japan (APAC) August 29-31, 2012: Workshop at LinuxCon North America (NA) - exact date TBD November 5-7, 2012: Workshop at LinuxCon Europe (EMEA) - colocated with KVM Forum, exact dates TBD January 2013: Workshop at NetApp in the San Francisco Bay Area (NA) - Awaiting confirmation from NetApp that this timing works for them. March 2013: Workshop at Intel Shanghai (APAC) - Intel can host the week of 17 March or 24 March. I propose we aim for 21 & 22 March and assume that by this time our curriculum will have grown to cover two days. If it has not, we can trim a day from the schedule later. Open Question: Does anyone see blockers on their end for 21 & 22 March 2013? May 2013: Workshop at Cisco Campus in Research Triangle Park (NA, North Carolina, USA) - Awaiting confirmation from Cisco that space will be available in this location and time frame. Open Question: LATAM workshop I propose that we target an oVirt workshop at the FISL 2013 conference, which should take place in the July 2013 time frame in Porto Alegre, Brazil. FISL attracts nearly 10,000 attendees and would be an excellent location for us to debut our oVirt efforts in the LATAM region. Alternatively, we can attempt to locate space on a company campus in LATAM to host the workshop. If anyone has space to offer, please let me know.

UPDATE: oVirt 3.1 release date changed
by Ofer Schreiber 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Due to multiple integration issues (Java 7, Fedora 17 and JBoss official rpm support) we've decided to postpone the next release of oVirt [1] to June 27th. This one month delay will hopefully give us enough time to stabilize all the different layers of oVirt, and produce a better release. Stay tuned, -- Ofer Schreiber oVirt Release Manager [1] http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Second_Release

oVirt Weekly Sync Meeting cancelled due to lack of attendence
by Mike Burns 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

There was a distinct lack of attendance today at the weekly sync meeting, so we ended without discussing anything. We really need to get people to start attending this meeting so that we can make sure we're still on target for upcoming releases. Thanks Mike

Resources for automated builds and testing
by Mike Burns 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Are there any plans to have additional resources for Jenkins? There is an almost constant queue of builds waiting to run. If we continue to develop automated testing, then this will only continue to get worse. We've already had to disable all gerrit integration which is not an ideal situation for continuous testing. Additional resources, whether they're EC2 or some other public cloud offering, or provided by one of the sponsor companies, would be a huge help. Thanks Mike

code sign-off/DCO for ovirt projects
by Ryan Harper 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

I see that this was discussed in the past on the board list[1] and there didn't seem to be any disagreement with doing DCO sign-off for code contributions. However, not all of the ovirt projects are doing DCO/Sign-off. There are a few commits in vdms.git that have a SoB, ovirt-node seems to be using DCO completely. Nothing in ovirt-engine either. I didn't check all of the ovirt subprojects, but I think it's safe to assume that's not being applied across all of the projects consistently. Can we get that added to the commit process for these projects moving forward? Is there anything else needed beyond maintainers enforcing the need for SoB in patches? 1. http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/board/2011-October/000168.html -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx ryanh(a)us.ibm.com
