Meeting summary
---------------
* Agenda and roll Call (bkp, 15:07:31)
* infra update (bkp, 15:07:31)
* 3.5.z updates (bkp, 15:07:31)
* 3.6.0 status (bkp, 15:07:31)
* conferences and workshops (bkp, 15:07:31)
* other topics (bkp, 15:07:33)
* infra update (bkp, 15:09:33)
* infra We had an outage last week, while upgrading vdsm to 3.5 on the
hosts, that left us with some hosts with vdsm 3.4 and some with 3.5,
will have to plan the upgrade more carefully. (bkp, 15:24:45)
* infra An issue with the mock cleanup that rendered the slaves
unusable, that is solved, but there's a new issue that I'm
investigating that forced us to take them out of the pool (bkp,
15:24:49)
* infra We also made some progress on getting vdsm unit tests inside
mock running. Two tests are failing, including the partition check
test. sbonazzo suggested nested VM approach. Will need another host
updated to F20 to enable such an approach. (bkp, 15:24:53)
* infra Engine and jenkins upgraded (to 3.5 and 1.583, respectively)
(bkp, 15:24:57)
* infra Nesting problems in PHX update: dcaro has to update on host
so we can test, but dima said that it's working well (bkp,
15:24:59)
* infra Issues are being collected for the Infra Day Hackathon (date
TBD), here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E8e88Nb_OcT7BQprVF7ER6R8--T8mzgc_...

place for 3.5.1 RC, no ETA set on fixes. (bkp, 15:31:32)
* 3.5.z updates RC will need to be postponed one week to accomodate
blockers, but that date is even risky. (bkp, 15:31:38)
* 3.5.z updates Almost all jenkins jobs for 3.5 are now green (except
one for node, fabiand team is already on it) (fabiand needs nesting
to get them green, see infra note above) (bkp, 15:31:41)

15:51:16)

repaired and released today by alitke (just needed verification and
karma on Fedora systems) (bkp, 15:51:19)
* 3.6 status Today is last day for release criteria/process
discussion. skieske made a rephrase suggestion, about "feature
acceptance review", which was accepted. (bkp, 15:51:22)
* 3.6 status Updated release criteria/process at
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-November/028875.html
will be posted on wiki and then announced soon. (bkp, 15:51:25)
* ACTION: bkp to set up new release process page on wiki (bkp,
15:51:28)
* 3.6 status Still gathering 3.6 features at http://goo.gl/9X3G49, no
feature deadline set yet. (bkp, 15:51:30)
* 3.6 status Length of release cycle still not confirmed, but
gathering all features anyway to have them in one place. (bkp,
15:51:33)
* conferences and workshops (bkp, 15:51:39)

(bkp, 15:51:26)
* Speaking of stats, downloads for oVirt engine in Oct. totaled 1460
from resources.ovirt.org. This is down from 2194 downloads in Sept.
Likely now that 3.5 is rolling out, this trend will likely change.
(bkp, 15:51:29)
* One of the big goals we should have for 2015 is figuring out a way
to determine actual installs of oVirt. If anyone has ideas on how we
can pull such information together, let's get a discussion going on
the users mailing list. (bkp, 15:51:33)
* Finally, there is an informal survey out on the users mailing list
now about extending oVirt support to Debian/Ubuntu. Got thoughts on
this? Here's the thread:

oVirt Monthly Newsletter: October 2014
by Brian Proffitt
October 2014 was a big month for oVirt. A new release, a new workshop, a new way of installing oVirt... there was nothing about October that didn't feel like success for the community and the software. As we start looking ahead to oVirt 3.6, here's a look back at one memorable month!
----------------
In the Community
----------------
oVirt is very happy to announce its participation in the GNOME Foundation's Outreach Program for Women: http://www.ovirt.org/Outreach_Program_for_Women Registration closed on Oct. 22, and have two excellent participants working with the oVirt community.
With all of the work being done on oVirt 3.5, our development team took the time to create some videos and deep-dive hangouts about 3.5 features: http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/09/a-cinematic-peek-at-ovirt-3-5/
October 16 was the next big event for the oVirt community, the 2014 KVM Forum oVirt Workshop in Düsseldorf, Germany. Learn more at http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/ovirt-workshop-2014/ and http://ow.ly/i/7gCmZ
Other October events for oVirt included:
* LinuxCon EU, Düsseldorf, Germany, Oct. 13-15
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-europe

http://devopsdays.org/events/2014-telaviv/
And for the future, there's a Call for Particpation for the IaaS DevRoom at FOSDEM'15 (http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-October/028644.html)!
-------------------------
oVirt Software Milestones
-------------------------
On October 19, the journey to our next release was complete, and oVirt 3.5 was released! http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/ovirt-3-5-rolls-out/
Along with the release of oVirt 3.5, a new User Guide (http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_User_Guide) and Administrator Guide (http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Administration_Guide) were released, ready to help people using oVirt faster!
Earlier in October, ovirt-3.5 ovirt-guest-agent Linux builds were also made available:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.ovirt.user/22322
------------------------------------
Deep Dives and Technical Discussions
------------------------------------
oVirt and Docker are proving to be a great combination! Moran Goldboim rolls out a two-part blog on how you can install oVirt as a Docker container today! (http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/ovirt-dockerized/, http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/ovirt-dockerized-part-2/)
Jason Brooks continues his Up and Running series with a look on how to install and use oVirt 3.5 (http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-5/)!
You can also learn about what's new in oVirt 3.5 in Korean (https://ovirtkorea.wordpress.com/2014/10/26/whatsnew_in_ovirt35/).
Like oVirt? Want to tell your friends and colleagues? Use our slide presentation as a
basis to share oVirt with the community: http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Slide_Decks#Introduction_to_oVirt_Deck
