Nice list of patches!

Feedback from the event:
- "if we want to add many more tests to OST, and I think we do, we need to
do some change there to allow that. Current framework is simply not
scalable enough"

More specific and constructive ideas are welcome. We know we want to move
to pytest, for example.

- not joining the hackathon because "I'd be like an elephant in a porcelain
shop"
- "I'm not sure I'm OK with the flood of suites that we have - the more we
have, the harder it is to sync and maintain but more importantly - to run."
- "We can't keep adding new suite for each parameter we want to test, it
adds overhead to monitoring, resources and maintenance."

I tend to agree, but not sure how to elegantly solve it.

- invite wasn't clear enough. I found people on #ovirt on Freenode and on
Red Hat IRC servers and redirected them to OFTC IRC server (my fault,
hopefully managed to workaround it by talking to people)

Lessons learned:
- Calendar invites to mailing lists doesn't work well, need a different way
to track mailing list members joining the events.
- Invites needs to be pedantic on how to join the event, not leaving space
for interpretation and misunderstanding.
- We need a contribution guide to ovirt-system-test: we need to make people
comfortable in trying to add a new test and we need to ensure that we won't
reject a day of work because the patch doesn't match core contributors
plannings on number of suites, resources and so on

Agree.
Y.

- The ovirt-system-tests check patch script is not good enough. It triggers
too many sequential suites on every single patch pushed, and fails due to
timeout taking more than 6 hours to complete.
- The way ovirt-system-test collects rpms from defined repos is not smart
enough: it doesn't take the latest version of a given package, just the
first found in sequential order of the repos,

Thanks everyone who participated to the event! if you have time please
continue improving ovirt-system-test even if today event is almost
completed!
