Submitting Kimchi project as an oVirt incubator project (V2)
by Adam Litke 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Hi all, It has been some time since we last discussed incubating Kimchi into oVirt so I'd like to rekindle the discussion. It seems like there has been general agreement that the two projects are complimentary. What are the next steps? Does the board require more information to make a decision? Is there any work that needs to be done before the board can vote? Thanks! -- Adam Litke <agl(a)us.ibm.com> IBM Linux Technology Center

Suggesting new packaging and setup maintainer
by Ofer Schreiber 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Nominating Sandro Bonazzola as packaging and setup maintainer ---------------------------------------------------------- During his recent year of participation in ovirt-engine development, Sandro demonstrated a genuine care for the product health, great coding abilities, and great responsibility to the setup and packaging components. Sandro's contribution the the project is undoubtable, he's responsible for over 70 patches in ovirt-engine, and he's the maintainer of log-collector, iso-uploader and image-uploader packages. I suggest that Sandro will obtain +2 and merge rights in the ovirt-engine gerrit project, in the understanding that those rights should be used only in packaging and setup parts of the code. -- Ofer Schreiber.
