Workshop details, questions
by Robyn Bergeron 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

So thanks to Kyle and Michael at Cisco, we have space for our workshop on Nov. 1-3. Right now, it looks like the biggest room that we can get is capable of handling 75 people. Wireless will be available. A few questions: * Do we want to advertise that we can only handle 75 people, and have a cutoff/waiting list? * Nighttime activities: Are we interested in doing anything in the evening(s)? * Food, dinners, etc: Are we doing anything along the lines of having a company sponsor food, an event, etc.? I'm not sure that we've gotten into those details. Kyle, am I missing anything here? :) -Robyn

Some final (I hope) remarks; 1. We now have 2 "Becoming a maintainer" headers. I'd change the 2nd one to something like "Applying for a project maintainer role" or anything alike. 2. WRT contribution and maintenance mixture, it takes the focus off the document's topic, for no visible reason. I'll try to explain with 2 examples; a. The car You just bought a new car, and you look into the owner manual, looking for a quick & simple way to adjust your radio pre-set stations. You get the information in one chapter which includes the complete wiring scheme, board design and explanation on connector types to use when connecting to amplifiers or phone car-kit. Will you think it's very helpful and easy to understand how you should set your radio buttons? Now think of the mechanic guy in the garage, getting the same manual, which he's supposed to use in order to verify what is short-circuiting the car embedded media controller. What will he think when he needs to read the connector description along with setting radio buttons? Is mixing all the information a good idea? Does it help both guys? Any of them? b. Git Book http://book.git-scm.com/ As you can see there are separate chapters for each type of user; Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. I'm sure someone who looks for a way to recover corrupted objects, won't find git clone syntax very helpful while he looks for the relevant information. 3. Now back to us... I think the following should be used in a different document; - Contributing to a project - Adding to the discussions and contributing code - Large projects These (and maybe some more) should be located in a document focused on general community contribution and oVirt project specific contribution rules / policy / code / coding-conventions, etc. Apache,for instance, asks every contributer to sign something making the code contribution owned by / used by the relevant project, so there are no license / rights issues. This could be a good place for explaining such a signature, should we require one. Current document should be lean and mean; Containing the relevant information on becoming a maintainer, responsibilities, ethics, policies, etc. The document should start by referring to the project contribution document. In this way you give more background if needed. -- /d "All computers wait at the same speed."

Location (for Cisco, IBM, Intel)
by Carl Trieloff 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

If it is at all possible, could Cisco, IBM, Intel see if we can get a tentative confirm for one of the facilities for the launch on the 1-3rd November before the Wednesday call. If we can settle this by/on Wednesday we can complete the materials and go public with invitations / briefings next week. Carl.

www.ovirt.org is up, however the DNS has not yet cut across which is causing the css not to load. hopefully DNS cuts across tonight or tomorrow morning. If you want to view the site between now and then add 173.255.252.138 ovirt.org www.ovirt.org <http://www.ovirt.org> to your etc/hosts file. I will mail out when we are cut across correctly. Carl.

oVirt site
by Livnat Peer 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi, I reviewed the documents on the site and it looks great. Here are some comments i have on the different documents: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Becoming a maintainer - A very good document. typos: - "(More on joining the board here …)" - add a link to the board doc - " to some projects that to others " - s/that/than - "or to be become a maintainer" - remove the 'be' ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Adding a sub-project - - I think the title should be "Adding a project" to be consistent with the rest of the docs on the site. typo: - "In addition the board my vote" - s/my/may - "theoVirt" - the oVirt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Voting - 1. If the R-T-C policy is in effect the document says that +1 means ‘I have tested this patch myself, and found it good.’. I find this requirement to be too strict. I think that testing a patch is the responsibility of the patch submitter and reviewing a patch should not require actual testing. I suggest the following instead - For me reviewing a patch (+1 for a patch) means: - The patch make sense - The patch follows the project standards (e.g. code format) - The patch takes into account the different aspects/components of the project - The patch does not changes any core behavior or introduces new concepts that were not discussed in the mailing list beforehand. If the reviewer wants to test the patch or thinks additional testing is needed then he better do so but i would not go and set that as a requirement. 2. The document says that a three +1 votes are required for a pass. In the context of patch approval that requirement might be an overkill. I am looking at the engine project as an example there are a lot of patches a day, large part of them are not too complicated and one ack can be enough for validation. Requiring 3 acks can slow the development and i am not sure it is justified/needed. I suggest that by default a patch should require only one ack. If a patch introduces a major change or new concepts the patch submitter should mark the patch as such and ask for 3 acks. In addition if a patch reviewer thinks a patch has some level of complexity he can also ask the patch to have 3 acks before approval. This approach can also contribute for Developing and Maturing projects which do not have the needed resources to deal with 3 acks for each patch. typos: - "majour" - s/majour/major - The title "Vetos" is lost in the Votes on releases section. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Board - typo: - "with 10 or more resource" - s/resource/resources ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Livnat

I have updated the website, the PDF invitation and the e-mail invitation. Please take a quick look and see if my last pass through fix ups are good. I have shortened the tease on the e-mail invite a little and posted it in addition to the PDF on the resources page: http://lists.ovirt.org/project/resources/ The site has been updated with logistics. If we are all good, I'll sync with Ralf and we can start turning it public later today. Mail out any issues, thx. kind regards Carl.

project matrix
by Karsten Wade 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

I'm looking at http://lists.ovirt.org/project/subprojects/ and thinking about a few things. * Each of the project names currently is not a link. We could have a single, mostly static landing page for each subproject e.g. ovirt.org/projectname (which can be nested in the menus, too.) It's easy to give a wide range of people 'writer' access in the website framework so people can edit their own subproject page at-will. If that makes sense, I'll go ahead and create the pages then link them in to the matrix. Carl - we can also link them in to the drop-down navigation to make it easier to get to a subproject from anywhere on the site. * We could drop the link to archives 'arc' entirely and rely upon the link that is on the mailing list page. I don't recall seeing many instances of a matrix e.g. jboss.org or eclipse.org having deep links to each list's archives. * We could also drop the link that is a mailto: call since nearly all these lists will require subscription to post. * Then just have one link 'devel' etc., or even have listname(a)ovirt.org just be a link to the Mailman page. * Partially because of the way the matrix looks, it does make the 'devel' name very busy, and I understand that as one of the reasons Carl prefers arch(a)ovirt.org as the "main project core technical and schedule discussions list." The name for this list I had orginally down as devel(a)ovirt.org. Is that going to be too difficult if every subproject is also subproject-devel(a)ovirt.org? Anyway, we can just link to this overall list above the matrix. * For maintainer names, it will be nice to link to a wiki user page for each person. I'll be sure to detail how to do that on the wiki, offer up some templates, etc. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41

new oVirt website
by Karsten Wade 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

There is a new oVirt project website in staging, and kept private for now: http://lists.ovirt.org username: ovirtstaging password: 1zGn48XEZPHFe For the content discussed here and from the Google Doc, the new canonical location for that is the website. Here is the work still to be done: * The header graphic needs an update that is relevant to oVirt. It should be 990x180 pixels. Do you have any designers available to help with this? (Resulting work under ASL 2.0.) - Maybe we need a new logo? * The subproject matrix needs fixing - information, content updates, and making it prettier/clearer. If anyone has CSS expertise, we can probably make a quick fix to the site CSS for that. * Figure out final hosting arrangements, which can be discussed with the infrastructure team (http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/infra.) * Creation of remaining mailing lists. * Finish of MediaWiki installation, configuration, and initial population of wiki content - how to write pages, how to use for subprojects, etc. * Write up some procedures for how to manage content, add News/Events items, and so forth to the main website. As you look over the site, keep these things in mind: * We'll start using @ovirt soon, it's a blank feed until then. * RSS feed for "News" on the right may break due to site authentication. * Some mailing lists are not live yet. * If you see a problem, bug, content missing or needing improving, etc. - bring that discussion here, but you can also take a new user account and help us fix it directly, just ask. Thanks - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41

names of individuals for initial oVirt board
by Carl Trieloff 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

I started updating the document from our side, in that regard I would like companies to start to work out who is going to be on the board from each org. Good selections would be someone that can be hands on, from a tech or community perspective in and helping drive oVirt from aspect from releases, outreach, impl etc. Note that we will run pretty open board meetings so it does not mean that only that person can attend, but we do need to get the initial named set. For those that know him, for reference Chris Wright will be on in that role for Red Hat. If you need to discuss, give me a shout. kind regards Carl.
