Would love What does your deployment look like - it's be great to understand how you're using it - eg. Linux guests only, Windows, size of deployment - do your users use poweruser portal etc. > to see > real glusterfs integration, quantum integration, and better API. GlusterFS and Quantum are certainly in the works, but in a separate thread I'd love to hear feedback on the API what the issues/enhancements are. Would you be able to post some initial comments on that? thanks Aic > > ><> > Nathan Stratton > nathan at robotics.net > http://www.robotics.net > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users(a)ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users >

Hosting MOM on gerrit.ovirt.org
by Adam Litke 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

We are currently in the process of integrating MOM with vdsm. Today the MOM code is hosted on github and the mailing lists are on Google Groups. Since the bulk of MOM development activity surrounds oVirt I would like to ask if oVirt would be willing to host it in gerrit and provide some mailing lists. Doing this will help interlock the development of these two projects. If there is affirmative agreement, I would request the following be created: Gerrit project / repo: mom - Please add aglitke <agl(a)us.ibm.com> as the project maintainer/admin Mailing lists: - mom-devel: Developement discussions for MOM - mom-patches: To be used for gerrit status notifications (ala vdsm-patches) Thanks for your consideration. -- Adam Litke <agl(a)us.ibm.com> IBM Linux Technology Center

Board Meetings at Workshops
by Leslie Hawthorn 30 May '12

30 May '12

Hello everyone, As mentioned on list previously, we are looking at having Board Meetings at upcoming oVirt workshops. As part of these preparations, we need to decide how many board members should be in attendance to make it worthwhile to have a board meeting. I will leave it to the Board to discuss amongst themselves, make the determination and advise me of the results. If you have not yet taken a moment to update your availability to attend a Board Meeting at one of our upcoming workshops, please sign up now on the wiki: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Workshop_Board_Meetings Cheers, LH -- Leslie Hawthorn Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards @ Red Hat identi.ca/lh twitter.com/lhawthorn
