[VOTE] Include Nomad into the oVirt Incubator
by Carl Trieloff 29 Oct '11

29 Oct '11

This vote is to include Nomad into the oVirt incubtaor. Details about the project can be found at http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Project_Proposal_-_Nomad More information about the incubator at oVirt can be found at http://www.ovirt.org/governance/adding-a-subproject/ In order to be accepted into the incubator, the project needs to be able to articulate its goals, scope and how it relates/integrates with the oVirt project. Nomad has done this. Entering the incubator is the low bar vote, which Nomad in my view clearly gets over. Note that the vote from incubator to full oVirt project (not this vote) is where we look for the demonstration of project criteria. The idea with the incubator is that any project that can articulate how it relates to oVirt should be able to enter the incubator and then work out details while in incubation. Vote open till the 27th. Here is my +1 Carl.

ovirt-engine repo up in gerrit.ovirt.org!
by Itamar Heim 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Here we go... - gerrit is up. - ovirt-engine git repo is there. - will upload the other repositories soon. below you can find the steps on how to get the code (yes, coming to you in wiki soon). a link to the wiki on how to build oVirt will be sent soon by Livnat. It's exciting to see everyone coming together to build a community, and I'm looking forward to working together on oVirt. Welcome everyone, Itamar How to use: 1. registering as a user: - you can use any OpenID provider for now[1] - login page shows google and yahoo - any fedora FAS account can login as well via https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/openid/id/<username> 2. set ssh keys in gerrit settings - on your local machine, create a set of ssh keys if you don't have one via 'ssh-keygen -t rsa' - update via gerrit settings the ssh public key to allow ssh to gerrit 3. define gerrit in ~/.ssh/config Host gerrit.ovirt.org HostName gerrit.ovirt.org Port 29418 User <username> 4. check ssh works correctly, verify and ack the host fingerprint: ssh gerrit.ovirt.org if you get this, it is fine: *** Welcome to Gerrit Code Review **** 5. cloning the repo git clone gerrit.ovirt.org:ovirt-engine this can be done without registering to gerrit using: git clone git://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-engine 6. install the change-Id hook - you must do this before you commit anything: scp -p gerrit.ovirt.org:hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/ 7. do some work/commit/etc. wiki link on how to build/run ovirt will be sent by Livnat soon. 8. rebase: git fetch gerrit.ovirt.org:ovirt-engine master 9. push your patch for review: git push gerrit.ovirt.org:ovirt-engine HEAD:refs/for/master 10. track patch review process the review process is comprised of: - anyone can send a patch - anyone can code review and comment on the patch and +1/-1. This helps maintainers in reviewing the patches. - a maintainer can code review it with +2 it, which is required to commit (submit) it. - someone (anyone) needs to confirm they checked the patch works and flag it as verified +1 - a maintainer can submit (commit) the patch when it has: Code Review: +2 Verified: +1 - nacked (-1) patches should not be submitted - a submitted patch is merged to the git TODOs: - emails to mailing list on patches/commits[2] - upload repos of more projects - have gerrit add acked-by/verified-by based on the gerrit reviewes? - mirror to github [1] if anyone provides a reason to limit to specific OpenID providers that's an option as well. [2] basic emails until we merge the gerrit patches sending them inline - we are working on sending them to upstream gerrit.

Second point is identifying the source of every commit. IMHO it is good practice to have a sign-off for ALL initial commits. Justt to make sure we have a full trail. Important for example for EAL certification. But also in case of disputes.

There is one person adding the file and other X (X likely > 1) people changing it, I see no reason crediting the one who added the file. We had a discussion on this in the engine-core project some time ago and we decided to remove all credits to file creators. If not accepted as a general rule for all oVirt projects I would like to suggest that this can be decided/changed on a project level.

Policy for applying copyright notices
by Carl Trieloff 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

I would like to add to the site some text around applying the copyright statement per the license text as per http://www.ovirt.org/about/licensing/ In the piece at the top of the license, there is a section "Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]" Based on some discussion reading the source to be opened for the workshop, I believe we should use the following general rule for the projects. The author of the file applies his organization or themselves as the copyright owner, and then any additions / modifications can be determined from the GIT history. Maybe better I just create a guide for any incubating project, I'll post it for comment. Carl.

ASL 2 is correct and aligns well to our other dependent components. I will add it to the page later today. My intent is to have the code in our github report in time for next week's workshop.

We don't require source so that a company can get a vote before making the source public if they are going to open source it to oVirt incubator. However we should include license in the doc. Issac, Can you add that. I assume ASL2.0 Carl. _______________________________________________ Board mailing list Board(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/board
