oVirt planning / open tasks, ongoing agenda.

Hi folks, I thought it would be a good idea to start cobbling together some open task items, and framing an agenda for meetings. I've put together a *very* light schedule below, along with a potential agenda. At this point, I think we need to start identifying the major milestones between now and the first release, and finding owners for the tasks that need to be done to hit those milestones on time. Once we have a better idea on the tasks, we'll have a clearer schedule. As previously suggested, I have put what is listed below on Google Docs. Please feel free to add in your suggestions / additions, particularly in the Open Tasks or Add Your Own Agenda Item areas - the more brains we have looking at this, the better :) (URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html) Incidentally, I'll be in Vancouver next week, Wednesday through Friday, for Linuxcon - if anyone would like to get together in a group and hack this into more of a schedule with firmer dates, let me know. :) -Robyn LIGHT SCHEDULE: o KVM Summit - August 15-16 o Website Launch - September o oVirt Workshop - October+ o Community Infrastructure - People - October - December o Community Infrastructure - Technology - Now - October/November o First release - January/February. Need to determine the major/minor milestones for each of the tasks listed above. Once we have an idea of what needs to be done, and when it needs to be done by, we can start building a more thorough schedule. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Meeting Agenda / Points of Discussion: 1) KVM Summit - August 15-16 * Meetings needed? 2) Website Launch * Needs owner. o A team needs to own this content refresh, including working with designers to get open, reusable content - key to ovirt.org belonging entirely to itself * Press release (other press coordination may be needed before/after launch) * Content for oVirt.org page: o What are the main messages. o What are the main outbound links. Suggestions include (new suggestions need someone to drive forward creation of content elsewhere): + Each sub-project with individual content, contribution info, etc. + Governance details. + New legal content. + Contribution policy - outbound == inbound, all contributions of any type (code, content, art, translations, etc.) must be under an acceptable license with necessary source materials. 3) oVirt Workshop / Summit - October+ * NEEDS AN OWNER. * Need to nail down likely dates, location. * Budget? What items need to be covered? Who is paying? * Potential invitees? 4) Community Infrastructure - People: Now - Dec. * Governance Details o Who is the owner for driving this? o Checklist of companies / partners / key contributors to reach out to, status o Writing up documentation of governance o Legal review? * Contribution Policies o Needs owner o Needs to be documented * Coordination with other support. o Legal - Who is helping with Legal issues, do we have a contact? o PR/Marketing - Who is helping with PR, do we have a contact? 5) Community Infrastructure - Technology: Now - Oct/Nov. * Mailing lists o Needs owner, dates. * Git repository o Needs owner, dates when needed. 6) First Community Release - January/February 2012 * Who is managing release? * Release criteria? * Testing/QA resources, Documentation, Translation, etc. - what is needed vs. NTH? 7) Other open tasks/topics * Taking ideas/suggestions, and volunteers. * Analyst briefings - yes/no, when, who? 8) Outreach Opportunities * Jim Jagielski: Transfer Summit, Isle of Open Source, ApacheCon. * List your speaking/travel here 9) Your Agenda Item Here

thanks for putting this together. some comments: 1. I noticed "oVirt Sync meeting for those officially in the program (board)- Concall Wednesday 1:30 EST" is this supposed to be a weekly call? we really need something that works better for GMT+2 time zone. 1:30pm EST is 8:30pm for us 2.Bug tracker for ovirt.org <http://ovirt.org>- discussion for devel@. we are using the community --> ovirt project for this under redhat.bugzilla.com 3. Git hosting information since we use gerrit, which has an internal git repo, we need a gerrit instance more than we need git hosting (i.e., a public gerrit will also serve as git hosting). specifically, we'll probably want to use some of the gerrit hooks we have for better workflow / integration with mailing list. Thanks, Itamar

Frank, we can move the time as needed. When do you and your team start in Beijing? If needed we can setup two sync calls to better cover time zones for the guys in Beijing on the project. Carl.

yes, we will do this weekly. We will skip this week due to the F2F. I'll update this invite today. Carl.

I talked about this with Perry et al from oVirt Node, and a point we discussed is that bugzilla.redhat.com is more often an integration point where an upstream has a separate bug tracker. In line with oVirt being a fully stand-alone-from-one-corporate-entity project, it seemed to make sense to have $SomeBugTracker.ovirt.org as the upstream location. Since we'll need a general devel@ovirt.org for every sub-project developer to be on, that is the perfect location to discuss which bug tracker to use. (This is why it will be very important that we have resourcing figured out amongst all current and future community members so we can keep a strong infrastructure commons going. Expect to hear about that working group starting up ASAP.)
3. Git hosting information since we use gerrit, which has an internal git repo, we need a gerrit instance more than we need git hosting (i.e., a public gerrit will also serve as git hosting). specifically, we'll probably want to use some of the gerrit hooks we have for better workflow / integration with mailing list.
Thanks for the reminder, Perry Myers put together a nice infrastructure list of must-haves that included gerrit, I forgot to make sure Robyn got those detailed out in the task list. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41
