Dates for This Phase of GSoC
by Brian Proffitt 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

I've had some questions about the Google Summer of Code, and I wanted to share with you the dates and milestones for the student/mentor onboarding phase of the event. All dates can be found on the GSoC site[1]. Right now we are in the student application phase, which goes until April 3. By that time, students should have their draft proposals in. Then we review them and turn them in to Google by April 16. On April 17, we ask for student slots, and then on April 19, slots are allocated to us. Finally, on April 24, we tell Google which students are going to take the slots, and then on May 3, Google announces all projects/students/mentors. Hopefully this helps. Please watch your inbox for notifications from Google to ensure what you are getting does not need an action item. What I get as one of the oVirt admins for GSoC is different that what you get as (potential) mentors.

Get Involved with the oVirt Project! Spring 2017 Edition
by Sandro Bonazzola 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Hi, Got some time to spare? Join us on the oVirt project! oVirt is a feature rich server virtualization management system with advanced capabilities. It also provides a crucial venue for user and developer cooperation, and is the first truly open and comprehensive data center virtualization management initiative. If you are new to oVirt, we recommend that you visit the develop <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/> page to learn more about the project, and the working with Gerrit <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/working-with-gerrit/> page for more about our code review system. If you haven’t worked with Gerrit before, we recommend you visit the introduction to Gerrit <https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation> page. On our community page <https://www.ovirt.org/community/> you’ll discover the many ways in which you can contribute to the project, even without programming skills. More suggestions? Below you’ll find other ways in which you can contribute to the oVirt project. Keep ‘em Fresh Like the idea of having fresh disk images of your favorite distribution in the oVirt Glance repository? You can help in two ways: First, test existing online images to ensure that they work with cloud-init. Second, create an online image and report your success to devel(a)ovirt.org. We’ll be happy to upload the images once they are ready. Get Vdsm Running on Debian If you like Debian and have programming or packaging skills, you can help with the ongoing effort to get VDSM running on Debian <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/debian-support-fo…>. All the current work on Debian (VDSM and related packages) can be found in the Debian git repositories <http://git.debian.org/>. You can also keep up to date on how the work is progressing by subscribing to the oVirt devel mailing list <http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel>. Fix Some Bugs These bugs are just waiting to be resolved: Bug ID Summary 1411133 Hosted-Engine: iscsi activation storage failing 1209881 [RFE] Remove iptables from hosted-engine.spec file to be able to deploy hosted-engine without firewall services installed 1353713 [RFE] - iSCSI Setup Should use different User/Password For Discovery and Portal 1130445 [TEXT] - If engine-setup asks for updates and choice is no, suggest '--offline' on re-run. 1174236 [RFE] Integrate installation with Server Roles of Fedora Server 1356425 [TEXT] 'hosted-engine --vm-start' said it destroyed the VM 1328488 The engine fails with oracle java8 Port oVirt to Your Favorite Distribution Are you sure-handed at packaging software, and using a distribution currently unsupported by oVirt? Help to get oVirt ported to any of the following distributions: Fedora <http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/devel/2015-September/011426.html> CentOS <https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Virtualization> Gentoo <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OVirt>. Also, check out Google Summer of Code <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016/Ideas> to learn how you can contribute to Gentoo and get paid for it!

UI dialog visual update
by Alexander Wels 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Hi, I just merged a large patch that does a complete visual update of all dialogs in oVirt. All the dialogs should now follow the standard patternfly modal dialog visuals and layout. One of the consequences of this is that you can no longer move the dialogs around in the application like before. This is by design. I tried very hard to make sure I updated every dialog in the application to match the look and feel as needed, or at the very least did not display any major issues like missing content or extra scrollbars where none were needed. Please report any issues you find to me, and I will try to make sure they get fixed ASAP. Alexander ps. attached are some screenshots from my development environment.

Friendly reminder on how to run OST on your patches
by Eyal Edri 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Hi oVirt developers, A few weeks ago we announced that it is now possible to run oVirt System Tests on any open patch in oVirt [1]. Just wanted to remind everyone how easy it to run the whole basic suite or upgrade suite on your open patches. Here is a summary of the steps needed to run the job [2]: *How to use?* - Add a comment to your open patch in Gerrit and write '*ci please build*' - Wait for the 'build-on-demand' job to finish and copy the URL of the build that shows up on the comments in Gerrit. - Go the manual job [2] and click 'Build with parameters' [3] - Add your 'build-on-demand' URLs to the job (you can put multiple URLs, one per line) - Choose the oVirt version you wish to test (should match to the oVirt version of your patch). - Choose the suite type from the drop-down menu (choose basic to run normal sanity or upgrade to test upgrade engine) There are other options to choose, but the default ones will work best for most cases, You can checkout the documentation [4] for more detailed info. Feel free to reach out to infra team for more info or help! [1] https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/devel/2017-February/029565.html [2] http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-system-tests_manual/ [3] make sure you have the 'dev' role for Jenkins, if you don't, send email to infra-support(a)ovirt.org and ask to be added.

Ceph hyperconvergence
by Logan Kuhn 19 Mar '17

19 Mar '17

Hi It was suggested that I ask this list. Are there any plans to add hyperconverge with Ceph, similar to the way it has been implemented with Gluster? I know that I can add Cinder as an external provider as an interface to Ceph, but it's more clunky than a hyperconverged solution. Regards, Logan Kuhn
