what and why - oVirt positioning
by Karsten Wade 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

There was a short and lively discussion on the phone today about why we are building an open virtualization community from the ground up. For example, people are being asked why we aren't putting this energy in to joining existing open-virt efforts. The problem with the latter discussion is it too easily gets in to comparing fresh oranges with dried bananas - that is, it appears to be a common discussion domain (fruit!), but the form, function, and contents are very different. In the end, if you are going to talk about fresh oranges, it doesn't make sense to bring up dried bananas. Bringing this discussion to the mailing list, this gives us a chance to work out our ideas in an open forum (that is, these archives will eventually be open to the public.) Thus a consensus here about why to do this project proves the point that this is an open leadership community from the outset. One theme that came up today I paraphrase here: We have very specific ideas about how to do things the open source way, learned from places such as Apache and Eclipse: * Involve key stakeholders from the beginning; * Require them to put a real stake down to be first-movers; * Make the community from the very outset openly constructed for shared control and management; * Show how to earn a seat at the board table; * Design and build leadership so consensus rolls up and down from sub-projects to a central governance body; * The community sets the project's direction by consensus from the outset. ... then condensing it: The only way to ensure a community is open and moving in the correct direction is to do it right from the start. There's no mistake in starting a new effort to accomplish those goals. ... another version: We're building an open virtualization project from the ground-up, involving key stakeholders as a start, and aggressively focusing on an open governance and project model. As we proceed, if our technology and community-style fit with all these other virtualization and cloud efforts, then integration will go more smoothly. Those are some ideas to start off. Why do *you* think we are doing the oVirt Project? - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41

Action Needed - oVirt Workshop Attendees List
by Robyn Bergeron 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Hi folks, Still need people to sign up here. Feel free to sign up yourself, your team members at your company, etc. Pretty please. :) (URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html) I'd like to have a location settled by the end of this week at the absolutely latest, and have enough attendees listed here by Wednesday's sync meeting to have reasonable discussion around location. I have added a second page to the spreadsheet (page tabs are at bottom) for adding people/companies/projects who are not yet participating in the initial stages of the project, but would likely have interest in participating in the workshop. If you know of: * A company, and having a division/department is helpful, and a contact at that company to reach out to, or have a list of contacts * An open source software project or other organization with names/contacts * Individual contributors ... Please add them to the list on the second page (potential non-board invites), and add your name in the "proposed by" column, so we all know who made the suggestion. Thanks, -Robyn

Add names: oVirt workshop attendees list
by Robyn Bergeron 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

I've put together a simple spreadsheet on google docs to start gathering information on who the likely attendees for a workshop are. I realize that without a date and location in mind, it is hard to commit, so let's consider this to be a "firmly interested/likely" list at this point. I've requested Name, email, company, role, the name of any subproject or potential subproject the person is affiliated with, if any (Nogah, QEMU, etc.), and where they are located. If you're tentatively planning to attend, please add yourself, along with any team members who will also be likely to attend, or alternately share the link with those team members so they may add themselves. (URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html) I'll add this link into our master document as well. Thanks, -Robyn

first oVirt Project workshop - where, when
by Karsten Wade 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

We need to decide where and when to have the first oVirt workshop. So far, the focus has been on end of October or in November. Suggested locations: * Linuxcon Europe - Prague 26 - 28 October 2011 http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-europe * Silicon Valley, CA, USA (at Intel?) * London, UK * Portland, OR, USA? (at Intel) * Your suggestion? Goals are (please add/fix): * Draw large initial attention - maximum buzz. * Be wide open to the world. * Introduce the project and architecture, do a key component walk through. * Technical & leadership breakouts. * Be most useful for developers in oVirt: ** Hackathon. ** How-to sessions? ** Write the Big Schedule/roadmap for the year. * Be also useful and interesting for these audiences: ** Organizations of all sizes that are potential contributors. ** Developers who work on top of or with oVirt technologies. ** Systems and IT people who want to keep track of and influence the future of open virtualization. ** Anyone interested in getting real work done in the open virtualization space. This would be the first of probably annual or twice-a-year events for planning the oVirt roadmaps across various sub-projects. In addition, there might be regular (monthly?) developer meetup events with a strong workshop/hackfest theme. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41

Shared document and other list information
by Robyn Bergeron 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi everyone, Since we're gaining new people daily on this list I thought I'd point out a few helpful documents: * Google shared document: This doc is viewable only by people with the link. It's still very much taking shape. Since we don't have a wiki or other shared space at this point, it's about the best we can do for the moment. If you have information you'd like to add, please feel free to place it in the document; adding your name is helpful if you have questions or comments that you are putting in so we have context around who is asking. Carl, Karsten, and I have been working this document fairly actively, and everyone is welcome to join in and help. (URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html) * Mailing List. That's *this* list - if you have additional people from your respective teams who need to be added, please let myself or Carl know so that they can be added. If you would like to catch up on what has already been sent out, reading the meeting archives may be helpful. Meeting minutes and agendas for the weekly synchronization meeting will also be sent to this list. http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/project-planning <-- use the Meeting Archives link. Your password should have been sent to you in your initial notification of list subscription. If you have questions, please feel free to ask! -Robyn

Weekly oVirt Sync Call - proposed agenda?
by Robyn Bergeron 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi folks, Hopefully most on this list received the invite for the weekly synchronization call that Carl sent out. (If not, let me know and I can forward it on to you.) I've put together a proposed agenda for the phone call below; with a 30m call each week, I think we can cover status on a lot of items, provided we make efficient use of the time. :) Since we're really still in start-up mode, I'd like to propose that we cover the big-ticket items and get ownership of things that need to be done in the next 1-2 months in each meeting, and leave longer-term tasks towards the bottom of the agenda (so people know that they're looking for owners, at least.) In my mind, those things are: * Status on initial project invites * Website launch * oVirt Workshop We can track minutes from each week in the shared document [1], and I'll volunteer to ship the minutes out to this list as well after each meeting. If you have other items you'd like to add to the agenda, or have other comments re: this mail, please speak up :) -Robyn [1] (URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html) Proposed Agenda: oVirt Sync Call Wednesdays, 17:30 UTC (1:30pm US Eastern, 10:30am US Pacific) == Intercall Conference == Toll Free Dial-In Number (US & Canada): (800) 451-8679 International Dial-In Number: (212) 729-5016 Other Toll-Free Dial-In Numbers: Listed in meeting invite Conference code: 9197544554 If you are not actively participating in the conversation please put your line on mute to make it easier for all participants to hear. *6 -- Mute your line #6 -- Unmute your line == Invitees/Attendees == project-planning(a)ovirt.org Attendee names go here. == Project Schedule == * Confirm initial project invites by September 14 * Website Launch - September * oVirt Workshop - week of (October 24th or November 14th) * Community startup @ workshop * Press release post-workshop * Community Infrastructure Tasks - People - October - December (need list) * Governance * How to get involved * Community Infrastructure Tasks - Technology - Now - October/November (need list) * Source code release * ?? * First release - January/February. == Working Shared Document == (URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html) == Agenda == 1) Board invites, status (Carl) 2) Website launch * Need owner * Content/scope? 3) oVirt Workshop / Summit * Needs owner * Needs dates, several under consideration. 4) Governance Docs (Carl) 5) Infrastructure * Other mailing lists * Source code release 6) Initial Code release 7) Your Agenda Item Here

Don't make it policy and let each project decide. * Decision: Yes, let's mark it as optional. * Jan: Is there a defined intellectual property policy? Carl: Apache style - this is my own work, etc., ASL or GPLv2 license. ASL is strong enough that we don't need anything else. Jan agrees.

Get feedback. * Will settle next week in this call. * Locations: Ask Intel - good hosting facilities. London, East Coast, West Coast. * What timezone is the best time zone to do it in? * Additional ideas on locations welcome for hosting. * # of expected people - location should be able to handle 60-100 people. * Linuxcon Europe is an option - October 26-28. * Make sense to combine with OVA meeting? * Looking for a Volunteer to work through location logistics. * Action: Karsten to lead this discussion. * High-level, bigger workshop vs. smaller, focused. * Initial is high-level, large invite to create lots of buzz. * Afterward run monthly etc.

Linuxcon attendees - get together?
by Robyn Bergeron 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi folks, It was great to meet those of you were were about yesterday evening for Carl's presentation. As I said yesterday - we have a number of "unowned" tasks on the shared document which need people to drive them, and I'm sure there are tasks not even listed yet. Part of a weekly phone call should be checking in on the progress of some of these tasks, particularly those which are time-sensitive as we move towards a launch date. Certainly not something that should take a large chunk of time in a phone call, but at least should be a time for people to raise flags if they have concerns about ability to deliver, or need help. If anyone is interested in gathering tomorrow (Friday, Aug 19) at Linuxcon, I'd be happy to get together either 1:1 or in a group to sort through some of the tasks/durations, if anyone is interested in defining more solid timelines/milestones for any of the tasks in the shared document, particularly if anyone wants to be an owner in driving something forward. (URL REDACTED - INFO: http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/project-planning/2011-September/000283.html) Feel free to respond on-list if you're interested, and if we have a few people who want to work on things, I'll see if I can find us a room tomorrow at some point to do so. Cheers, and hope everyone is enjoying themselves! -Robyn

oVirt planning / open tasks, ongoing agenda.
by Robyn Bergeron 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

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

oVirt board working session
by Carl Trieloff 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

All, Firstly I would like to welcome you to the initiative.

Welcome and list information

Welcome. This is the oVirt project planning mailing list, project-planning(a)ovirt.org. The initial purpose of this list is the planning around a relaunch of the oVirt project as a KVM open virtualization umbrella project. Currently this list has these settings: * Private archives * Only list members can see who is subscribed * Subscriptions require administrator approval I propose we treat this list as if the archives will be publicly viewable in the future. The two list administrators are currently myself and Robyn Bergeron. I like to spread mailing list admin duties, and want to add a few more people as administrators, especially folks who are not @redhat.com. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41
