(That awkward moment when you realize you didn't send out the minutes of the last meeting...) Even though this is late, PLEASE TAKE NOTE, there are action items from this meeting, all about making sure every team has their feature "wish list" up on the 3.6 feature list at http://goo.gl/9X3G49 If your team's features are not represented on this Google spreadsheet, then you need to fill this out. Scheduling needs to get done, and we need to determine what will be in 3.6 and what will be held for the magical 4.0 release.

(bkp, 15:31:38) * 3.5.z updates Almost all jenkins jobs for 3.5 are now green (except one for node, fabiand team is already on it) (fabiand needs nesting to get them green, see infra note above) (bkp, 15:31:41) * 3.6 status (bkp, 15:31:45) * 3.5.z updates addendum: Two regressions (1160846 and 1118349) are tagged for 3.5.1 and need to be evaluated.

(bkp, 15:51:30) * 3.6 status Length of release cycle still not confirmed, but gathering all features anyway to have them in one place. (bkp, 15:51:33) * conferences and workshops (bkp, 15:51:39) * Conferences Notification on FOSDEM stands is on Dec. 15. Still time to get your devroom submittals in for the virt and IaaS devrooms.

(bkp, 15:48:01) * FOSDEM is the next big event. OSAS will be very much on the scene, and oVirt has applied for a booth at the event. There is still time to get your talks into the IaaS and Virt devrooms. (bkp, 15:48:05) * Now that travel is wrapped up, I am working on getting meetup and workshop materials ready for anyone who wants to present on oVirt at a local event. (bkp, 15:48:09) * 11th Intl. Conf. on Open Source Systems CFP Open Through Jan. 10 call for papers http://www.oss2015.org/call-for-papers/ (bkp, 15:50:45) * other topics (bkp, 15:51:11) * A big welcome to our new OPW interns! Be ready to assist with any of their questions as they lurk about the channel and the lists! (bkp, 15:51:23) * It was brought to my attention this morning that ovirt.org/stats has not been working for a while. I have asked misc to look into it. (bkp, 15:51:26) * Speaking of stats, downloads for oVirt engine in Oct. totaled 1460 from resources.ovirt.org. This is down from 2194 downloads in Sept. Likely now that 3.5 is rolling out, this trend will likely change. (bkp, 15:51:29) * One of the big goals we should have for 2015 is figuring out a way to determine actual installs of oVirt. If anyone has ideas on how we can pull such information together, let's get a discussion going on the users mailing list. (bkp, 15:51:33) * Finally, there is an informal survey out on the users mailing list now about extending oVirt support to Debian/Ubuntu. Got thoughts on this? Here's the thread: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-November/029209.html (bkp, 15:51:37) Meeting ended at 15:55:01 UTC.

October 2014 was a big month for oVirt. A new release, a new workshop, a new way of installing oVirt... there was nothing about October that didn't feel like success for the community and the software. As we start looking ahead to oVirt 3.6, here's a look back at one memorable month! ---------------- In the Community ---------------- oVirt is very happy to announce its participation in the GNOME Foundation's Outreach Program for Women: http://www.ovirt.org/Outreach_Program_for_Women Registration closed on Oct. 22, and have two excellent participants working with the oVirt community. With all of the work being done on oVirt 3.5, our development team took the time to create some videos and deep-dive hangouts about 3.5 features: http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/09/a-cinematic-peek-at-ovirt-3-5/ October 16 was the next big event for the oVirt community, the 2014 KVM Forum oVirt Workshop in Düsseldorf, Germany.
