dendrobatesHi everyone. Thanks for coming20:00
*** dubs has joined #openstack-meeting20:00
dendrobatesWe have extended the deadline for blueprint submission until Tuesday Sept 7th20:00
*** ewanmellor has joined #openstack-meeting20:00
dendrobatesWe will use today's time to discuss blueprints and answer any questions anyone might have.20:01
dendrobatesFirst the basics.20:01
dendrobatesThe reason we need blueprints and specifications is because we need to plan for the release and track features20:01
dendrobatesIn future releases:20:01
dendrobatesblueprints will be drafted before each summit20:01
dendrobatesthe drafter will propose his blueprint for discussion at the summit.20:01
dendrobatesif approved the drafter will lead the discussion of the proposed feature at the summit.20:01
dendrobatesAfter the discussion a specification will be drafted20:01
dendrobatesthe blueprint will then be used to track the state of the feature through the development cycle.20:02
dendrobatesYou can see the list of blueprints created at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack20:02
dendrobatesYou can see the list of specifications on the wiki at http://wiki.openstack.org/CategorySpec20:02
dendrobatesSome of the blueprints link back to etherpad instead of the wiki.  Initially we thought his was ok, but they are not easily searchable or aggregatable.20:02
dendrobatesIf you put your spec in etherpad, don't worry.  If you don;t get to it, I will move it to the wiki and update launchpad for you.20:02
*** annegentle has joined #openstack-meeting20:03
dendrobatesWe will continue to use etherpad at summits for collaborative editing.20:03
jaypipesk20:03
dendrobatesAre there any specific questions about blueprints and specs?20:03
*** redbo has joined #openstack-meeting20:03
pjzsomeone file a feature request for the wiki re: collaborative editing :)20:03
sorendendrobates: Is the deadline also for specs?20:04
sorendendrobates: Or just blueprints?20:04
sorendendrobates: I.e. do we have to finish specs before Tuesday?20:04
dendrobatessoren: specs too20:04
sorenGotcha.20:04
*** letterj has joined #openstack-meeting20:04
* soren sharpens his pencil20:04
ewanmellorDoes the Xen spec have to say any more than "support Xen"?20:05
dendrobatesI don;t expect much, just a basic outline of what you intend to do20:05
ewanmellorBecause I don't think I'll get much further than that by Tuesday.20:05
*** _cerberus_ has joined #openstack-meeting20:05
dendrobatesewanmellor: I understand.  We will fill in the rest as we are able20:05
ewanmellorOK20:05
ewanmellorDo we have any plans around HVM domains (i.e. Windows)?20:06
dendrobatesthere is a template on the wiki for creating a spec.  http://wiki.openstack.org/SpecTemplate20:06
sorenewanmellor: I have half a plan.20:06
ewanmellorsoren: Do you have a blueprint for your half-plan?  And is it planned for Austin?20:07
dendrobatesewanmellor: not for this release, probably the next one.20:07
sorenewanmellor: The plan only popped up in my head a few hours ago, so no.20:07
sorenewanmellor: The Ubuntu guys got it working quite nicely, apparantly, with Eucalyptus. In a way that should be pretty easy to implement in Nova.20:07
jbryce#link http://wiki.openstack.org/SpecTemplate - template on the wiki for creating a spec20:07
ewanmellorThe basic parameter setting for Xen is easy, once we know where the parameter comes from on the template side, and once we have boot-whole-disks.20:08
ewanmellorIf you have a doc on the API that Eucalyptus used, that would be great.20:08
ewanmellorI was thinking of doing something horrible like kernel_id=hvm because I don't see any other place to put the parameter.20:08
sorenewanmellor: The guys who did it for Eucalyptus promised he'd write some docs for it. I can't speak for when he'll have it done.20:08
dendrobatesewanmellor: one thing that I have been asked, that you should include in your spec is scope.  is this just for xenserver, or is open source xen supported by your work?20:09
sorenewanmellor: Let's take this discussion elsewhere :)20:09
vishyewanmellor: there is a branch for whole disk booting by justinsb that i think is just waiting on some formatting changes20:09
sorenewanmellor: I'm happy to discuss it in #openstack, if you want.20:09
soren...so we can move on here.20:10
*** _0x44 has joined #openstack-meeting20:10
vishysoren: sounds good, i'll participate there as well20:10
ewanmellordendrobates: Plain open-source Xen (Xen as seen in SUSE Linux, for example) is not covered.  The toolstack there is different.20:10
vishy\win 320:10
sorenThat's the part I expect to work on.20:10
sorenI won't bother with20:10
sorenXen server since Ewan seems on top of that.20:10
ewanmellordendrobates: The Xen Cloud Platform uses the same toolstack as XenServer, and is open-source (on Xen.org).20:11
dendrobatesThat is what I thought, we should be able to get opensource xen support through libvirt, iiuc20:11
sorendendrobates: Precisely.20:11
ewanmellorXenAPI is the name that we use to distinguish the toolstack on XenServer (commercial) and Xen Cloud Platform (OSS), versus the toolstack in other Xen-based platforms.20:12
dendrobatesI will put any updates about blueprints on http://wiki.openstack.org/Blueprints20:12
ewanmellorsoren: Yes, will move the HVM discussion to #openstack.20:12
dendrobatesI assume most people saw my email about blueprint naming conventions today20:13
vishydendrobates: yes, i just changed all of the anso ones to start with austin-20:13
dendrobatesvishy: thanks20:13
dendrobatesWe are trying to come up with a list of targeted features for Austin20:14
dendrobatesa lot pf people are asking for that.20:14
dendrobatesthen we can get people to stop writing articles saying we are dropping an API, or not supporting Xen :)20:14
dendrobatesSo...20:15
dendrobatesIs there anyone here that would like help creating a blueprint?20:15
*** kr8tr has left #openstack-meeting20:16
littleideaseems straight forward20:16
dendrobateswe will have very low standards for specs this release.  This is our first time and we will not be fascist.20:17
dendrobatesWE will work with anyone that submits one.20:17
dendrobatesand bring it up to snuff20:17
letterjdendrobates: Were you going to start a blueprint on the testing/qa process?20:18
dendrobatesI am.20:18
soren\o/20:19
dendrobatesI am working on acquiring some test equipment as well20:19
letterjDo you want a separate one for Nova and Swift?20:19
dendrobatesletterj: probably, I hadn;t thought about it too much yet.20:19
dendrobatesI would love a testing genie to appear out of nowhere to hepl me.20:20
littleideadendrobates: How will OpenStack handle blueprints that are planned for Austin, but don't get completed?20:20
dendrobateswe will re target them to the next release and discuss whether to continue work or not at the summit20:20
dendrobateslittleidea: btw, thanks for the blog post.20:21
littleideadendrobates: my pleasure20:21
littleideaWhat is 'Call for volunteers' on the agenda?20:22
dendrobatesmy hint about testing was one of them20:22
littleideaCall for testing genie20:23
dendrobatesI am not a tester, we will need test plans.20:23
dendrobatesWe also need to start beefing up the developer docs.20:23
dendrobates#topic call for volunteers.20:24
creiht where's the beef?20:24
letterjI will help with the Swift testing20:24
jbrycethe good news on the docs front is that annegentle is going to be full time as a tech writer starting next week. she's going to need help from others, but will be able to help us get organized20:25
dendrobatesjbryce: I am VERY excited to have her start20:25
littleideaw00t, I plan to help annegentle20:25
annegentlewoo! that's the plan - community doc ftw20:25
dendrobatessoren: we could use better docs on using UML20:25
sorendendrobates: Yup.20:26
dendrobatescan it be used on the rackspace cloud or ec2?20:26
dendrobatesI would love a guide for that.20:26
dendrobatesWe need better docs to help new devs ramp up.20:26
dendrobatesSo my call for volunteers, is mostly centered around docs and testing20:27
dendrobatesbut we also will need to get a bug triaging team ramped up.20:27
dendrobatesMaybe I should start by documenting what we need.20:27
creihtI've been pretty deep in the swift docs, so I imagine I would continue to help with that20:28
dendrobatescreiht: great20:28
littleideaI'll volunteer to help with docs and cloudscaling will test between the freeze and release.20:28
xtoddxdendrobates: yea, seeing a test plan will help.  we may be hitting some of that stuff already, and we just need to document and share the results20:28
sorendendrobates: Yes, it can be use on the rackspace cloud.20:29
dendrobatesxtoddx: do you guys have a formal test plan at nebula?20:29
xtoddxwe have developers do due dilligance and pass it off to QA, and I don't know what the QA process is, exactly20:29
dendrobatesok, we need someone to get openstack running in UML on the rackspace cloud and document it20:30
dendrobatesanyone from Rackspace want to take that.20:30
sorenI can do it.20:30
dendrobatesif anyone outside of RS want to do it, I'll get you free resources to do it.20:30
sorenI'm doing the work anyway, I just need to write it down somewhere.20:30
dendrobatesI would rather have someone that is not you do it\20:31
sorenHeheh :)20:31
dendrobatesthere are things you assume, becuase you did the work20:31
sorenI can live with that. :)20:31
littleideadendrobates, soren: how much time do you think it would take?20:32
littleideaor maybe if soren does a first pass documenting and then I can try to make it work and fill in anything with annegentle20:32
dendrobates#action soren to take first pass at uml guide, assisted by littleidea and annegentle20:33
annegentlesounds good20:33
dendrobatesweeeeeeeeee20:33
dendrobatesok next topic20:34
dendrobates#topic meeting time.20:34
dendrobatesin the email I sent I suggested a meeting time20:34
*** jc_smith has joined #openstack-meeting20:34
dendrobateshttp://goo.gl/WHj220:35
dendrobates20:00 UTC20:35
dendrobatesit is very difficult to find a time that will be good for everyone around the world.20:36
jbrycedendrobates: would that be on tuesdays going forward? (the link says friday)20:36
dendrobatesgod I suck20:36
*** Youcef has joined #openstack-meeting20:36
dendrobatesI suggest our Tuesday release meeting be moved one hour later to 21:0020:36
dendrobatesUTC, which is 10:00 for most of Europe and 6:00 AM Wednesday morning in20:36
dendrobatesJapan.20:36
dendrobatesThat is my suggestion.20:37
dendrobatesI pasted in the wrong time and link20:37
dendrobatessorry20:37
littleideaso next tuesday, 21:00 UTC20:37
dendrobatesyes.20:37
vishydendro: that is fine with me20:37
ewanmellordendrobates: Can we have a procedure for getting stuff discussed if you can't make the release meeting?  I will have devs in Bangalore working on this, and that's 1.30am for them.20:37
dendrobatesIt is pretty late in europe and early in asia20:37
soren2100 UTC is 11 PM for most of Europe, really.20:39
soren...which is ok.20:39
sorenI'm just saying.20:39
sorenWell, until DST passes.20:39
littleideatimezones aren't going away anytime soon20:39
dendrobatesyes, you can add it to the agenda noting that you cannot attend we will try to discuss it post the minutes, you can then  use the mailing list to continue the discussion20:39
dendrobatesis that satisfactory20:39
dendrobatesor, we can rotate the meeting times20:39
ewanmellordendrobates: That procedure sounds fine.20:39
dendrobatesok20:39
ewanmellordendrobates: If you had two meetings, one in the US morning, and one in the US afternoon/evening, do you manage to cover everyone?20:40
dendrobatesewanmellor I think so.  do you mean each week have 2 meetings?20:41
ewanmellorNot that I'm trying to double your workload ;-)20:41
ewanmellorYes, that's what I meant.  I'm fine with my Bangalore team missing out, but it would be good to be able to include the people from Japan.20:41
dendrobatesI don't mind the long day.  my conrecn is that the 2 groups will never connect.20:41
ewanmellorAt 6am Japanese time, they might never connect anyway.20:42
dendrobatesyeah I'm pretty sure none of them got up at 6am on Sat to come.20:42
dendrobateser 5am today20:42
littleideaI think two meetings gets really awkward to manage and gets phased out.20:43
dendrobatescan we keep next weeks at 21:00 utc and start a mailing list discussion on meeting times?20:43
sorenSo we'll have another meeting two working days from now? I'm cool with it, I'm just checking.20:44
dendrobatesyes20:44
ewanmellordendrobates: Fine by me.  There's no way that you can get everyone in one meeting.  You may as well use your Benevolent Dictator status here.20:44
dendrobatesdone.20:44
dendrobatesI will post the next meeting on the wiki.20:44
ewanmellorWe did, after all, put devs in Bangalore precisely _because_ we wanted round-the-clock work!20:44
dendrobatesI'm going to be around for the next few hours to help people with blueprints if any one needs help.20:45
littleideais there something else to decide?20:46
littleideadendrobates: cool, might hit you up then20:46
dendrobatesThanks for coming everyone.20:46
