splitting cli/sdk project
by Michael Pasternak 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

Hi folks, I would like to propose splitting cli/sdk projects as each of them should become a master-project for different implementations and i guess we wouldn't want mixing different SDKs and CLIs under same project. -- Michael Pasternak RedHat, ENG-Virtualization R&D

oVirt Sync Call Meeting Minutes Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 14:00 UTC (10:00am US Eastern, 07:00am US Pacific) == Invitees/Attendees == project-planning(a)ovirt.org list subscribers Robyn Bergeron (Red Hat) Carl Trieloff (Red Hat) Kyle Mestery (Cisco) Ayal Baron (Red Hat) Alex Graf (SUSE) Kerri Catallozzi (Red Hat) Anthony Liguori (IBM) Andy Cathrow (Red Hat) Perry Myers (Red Hat) Jim Jagielski (Red Hat) Jon Benedict (NetApp) Frank Novak (IBM) Karsten Wade (Red Hat) If you do not currently have this call on your calendar and would like it to be, please send rbergero(a)redhat.com an email. == Action Items == * Kerri to put together draft press release for review next week * Robyn to update meeting time to one hour * List discussion items: Two-tier project acceptance/graduation proposal, Webex discussion * Kyle to look into the option of getting a UCS on site rather than Andy shipping a rack == Project Schedule == * Ongoing oVirt workshop promotion * oVirt Workshop - November 1, 2, 3 * USA - CA - hosted by Cisco * Press release post workshop * Community startup at workshop * Schedule first community release * Community Infrastructure * Launch at workshop * First release - January/February. == Call Agenda == 0) General Updates * Andy has RHEV entitlements to help out those who want to get a bit more context * If anyone needs an entitlement to download RHEL + RHEV in order to get some experience with RHEV then please email acathrow(a)redhat.com * Agree to an hour going forward, at least in the short term, for phone call time. Voting on new project 1) Board news * Board members are now confirmed from each strategic company. (Carl) * Board members voting on first few proposed projects * We have had 3 projects approach us. Right now - really working on getting through the process, going through framework of process/acceptance, framing discussion. * What are requirements for oVirt project? * To get a project in / join ecosystem, the bar should be reasonably low, so we can build community, build interaction. Not a lot of detail around this right now. * It's important for us to get traction, but not necessarily creating precedent that we can't ever undo. Maybe a two-stage process akin to Apache Incubator - as a project/code/development grows, they can graduate onto higher level. Lets us have low barriers, allows us to be more nimble as far as changing things without creating long-term precedence. * Take back to list. 2) Project launch status / Progress review * Statistics review (Carl) 3) oVirt Workshop / Summit - Nov. 1 - 3, Cisco Main Campus, San Jose, CA. * http://www.ovirt.org/news-and-events/workshop/ * Attendance updates (Robyn) * 54 RSVPs so far for the kick off workshop * Attendees not from initial group are numbering around 12 currently * We are still waiting for RSVPs from NetApp, IBM and more from Red Hat * Plan to leave the RSVP's open for another couple of weeks. * Bringing in 4-5 additional signups per day * Logistics planning: * Capacity is 45 people * Planning for breakout rooms * Evening events/activities planning * Food * Hotel arrangements * Press release discussion (Kerri from Red Hat joining call) * Next steps: Kerri to take a stab at drafting press release, get contacts at companies for PR; asking that folks help Kerri get in touch with appropriate people. * Target a launch for after the workshop - most likely the week following to make sure we get maximum pickup * One option is a joint release with all companies on the board , which Kerri would coordinate. This option is more effective in terms of press pickup but harder to coordinate given corporate press approval cycles * Another option is a Red Hat press release with supporting quotes from board members * Joint press release: * All tickers would be included, would lead to more coverage/awareness level * Cons - intensive scrutiny, hard to wrangle agreement sometimes. * Red Hat only press release * Easier to just get supporting quotes from member companies * Would lose a bit of awareness from not having tickers, etc. - not hitting as wide an audience * Thoughts: * Joint press release makes it a true joint effort, and not just a Red Hat Thing. * Time delay might be a problem on join press release, but think it is crucial to success of oVirt to get it out as a Joint Press Release. * To-Do's: Agreed, Kerri to put together draft joint release. Basic content is that we've launched the community at a F2F in California, examples of what we're agreeing to work on, companies + other folks. Very focused on workshop and results. * Kerri: Feel free to ask JimJag for help. 4) Infrastructure (Karsten) * Wiki update, movement from shared google document * Project-planning list archival plans * Project naming status 5) Other updates / Agenda topics * Andy is working with Corporate Comms folks to utilize our corporate webex account. Schedule some webex sessions/archived recordings, do some quick introductions to RHEV, use that going forward to have larger sessions as part of training/collaboration. Could be useful for overviews of projects, etc. * Should we post a schedule of topics to be done and when, and put it on the website? * Seeking volunteers for wanting to discuss things on webex. * Good background for folks coming to conference. * Hardware for workshop - Demo rack that we can ship out. If we want to do hands-on work, we can use it. Do we need any other hardware on-site for workshop? * Kyle will look into the option of getting a UCS on site rather than Andy shipping a rack

archives cleaned, ready to open list
by Karsten Wade 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Folks: As per the original design for this list, we are planning to open the archives and subscription to the community. Prior to doing that, I manually redacted specific company names, names of individuals, and the Google Docs URLs with similar information in them. These redacted details are related to individuals and organizations that did not elect to join oVirt to start. We want their relationship with oVirt to be revealed in a manner and time of their choosing, not by accident from our archives. For any Google Docs we are using, we need to create a new document and copy/paste the clean information in to it to avoid the revision history. I'd like to open the list and archives following the next meeting. If you want to check for any particular detail in the archives, please take the opportunity to look and let me know if you have any questions, something that needs changing, and so forth. If there is no protest, I'll be opening the archives 24 hours from now. Thanks - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41

Additional govenance guideline doc
by Carl Trieloff 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Based on suggestions and comments on the threads around sub-project, I suggest we add the following guide for new projects. Most of the content from Anthony. fire away with comments... when we are happy with it, I'll post it. Carl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Project that wants to join oVirt should follow the following basic guidelines: 1) Project posts an overview page on ovirt.org/wiki, including scope and short term roadmap to ovirt.org wiki. That page is then copied as a mail to board@ovirt 2) There is an official comment period that lasts for a period of time up to 3 weeks. This time period allows for questions to be enhanced, and the wiki to be improved. Projects can complete this stage faster, however the key is provide enough time for discussion. 3) At any point in this time period, the proposal can be officially withdrawn. 4) At the end of the period or once there seems to be consensus, there is a final call for comments before a vote takes place. If the thread's comments die down, then a VOTE thread can be used to move the process along. Include the following information on the overview wiki page Project name: Project description: Initial scope: Description of how the project meets the oVirt requirements http://www.ovirt.org/governance/adding-a-subproject/ a.) Each project must agree to support the oVirt complete stack (CS) release schedule b.) Each project must agree to provide or integrate with one of the published API’s Create dev list: Create bugzilla: GIT location if already open source:

Can we arrange with a hotel adjacent to the workshop for group pricing (or maybe cisco already has one)? would be nice if most would stay in same hotel, and reduce costs Thanks, Itamar

Confirming RSVPs
by Robyn Bergeron 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

I've seen a number of comments in various places touching on the fact that people aren't quite sure what they should be getting when they send an email to rsvp(a)ovirt.org. Do we want to add some sort of confirmation mail, stating that we've received your RSVP and added you to our list, and more details will be forthcoming by $specificdate? -Robyn

Board member
by Carl Trieloff 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

If it is possible, could we get the named board members for each strategic member. If we are going to action decisions on the 3 subprojects requests we will need these for voting. I suggest we try get them named this week, I'll spend some time on the call around it, and the next week we spend some time on the sub project topic. kind regards, Carl.

at http://www.ovirt.org/news-and-events/workshop/ We can refine as needed / as we get closer to the date, this seems to be a good framework to work towards based on comments so far. Carl.
